Third part of the monograph includes all Lamiinae taxa from 16 states Russia, Estonia, Lituania, Latvia, Belorussia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenia, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kirgizia, and Mongolia: 435 species (673 taxa with subspecies) of 75 genera. All included taxa are reliably known from the region. All taxa known outside the territories of the states mentioned above are ommited, though being collected very close to the state borders. Each valid species-group name is supplied with color photos of male and female, if both known (totally 2062 photos are published), name of type locality, names of all synonyms with type localities for each on the base of original descriptions or/and available information. Sometimes published wrong spellings are also shown as well as names of important aberrations, but usually unavailable names are omitted. Sometimes specimes of very rare species are not available from our region and corresponding taxa are illustrated by the phographs of specimens from West Europe, Turkey, China or Japan. Variable taxons are illustrated by several color phorms if available. Color forms, which are recently known from outside the region only, are usually not shown. Each photo is supplied with the label of the specimen. Each taxon is supplied with the references to the publications, several distinguishing charactes, distributional and ecological notes. The taxonomy comments are often included. Type species are recorded for the genus-group names (without designation information). References to publications are arranged in chronological order. Many references are followed with important geographical or taxonomical notes. The areas of certain taxa with complicated distribution are illustrated by 18 color maps from old author’s publications, arranged in different styles and partly updated. Several maps were not published before. |
