Abstract

The results of the first study of lepidopterans, caddisflies, scorpionflies, Diptera within the Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha» are considered in the paper. The plant complexes of the park are represented by the primeval oak and pine-oak forests, which form a peculiar complex with marshes of different types, meadows along the watercourses, tangles of a black alder. The collection was conducted in 2017-2019 by route collection methods using standard techniques. There were examined the floodplain meadows of Konopelka river near the villages: Sokyrychi, Muravysche, Palche, the forest in the Papiki hole near the village Derno, forest near the village Dachne, meadows and forest near the village Tsuman, forest near the town Kivertsi, floodplains of the rivers Putylivka (Stavok village, Tsuman village), Kormyn (near Berestyane village), Rudky (near Zhuravichi village), Hrushvitsja (near Omeljne village), melioration canals and meadows around them (Derno village, Tsuman village).

78 species of mecopteroid insects from the orders Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Mecoptera, Diptera have been registered in the Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska pushcha». Lepidoptera order are represented by 8 families (Adelidae, Hesperiidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae, Erebidae) with 36 species, with only one family (Limnephilidae) in the order Caddisflies (Trichoptera) with 2 species. In the order Scorpionflies (Mecoptera) registered only one family (Panorpidae) with one representative, the Diptera order is represented by 10 families (Simuliidae, Tipulidae, Asilidae, Bombyliidae, Dolichopodidae, Sarcophagidae, Tachinidae, Syrphidae, Stratiomyidae, Tabanidae) with 38 species. For the first time, 36 species of Lepidoptera, 2 species of caddisflies, 1 species of scorpionflies and 25 species of Diptera were noted for the territory of the park. In consideration of calendar and territorial limitations of the started study, further and specialized research can substantially supplement the faunistic list of mycopteroid insects of the national park and allow to estimate the species abundance and establish their habitat status.
