FAUNA AND BIOTOPIC DISTRIBUTION OF WEEVILS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONOIDEA) OF THE ASHCHISAY STEPPE SITE OF THE ORENBURGSKY STATE NATURE RESERVE
Abstract
Based on the results of long-term research (2015—2020), the species composition was established and the analysis of the fauna of weevils (Curculionoidea) of the Ashchisay steppe site of the Orenburg Nature Reserve was carried out. The research area is located in the extreme southeast of the Orenburg region near the border with Kazakhstan, in the subzone of the southern steppes of the Trans-Urals, within the western outskirts of the Turgai Plateau. As a result of the research, 148 species of weevils from 4 families were identified (21% of the species composition of the fauna of the Orenburg region). Of these, 34 species are first reported for the fauna of the Orenburg region, and one, Hemitrichapion plicatum (Faust, 1887), was first found in Russia. The fauna of weevils of the Ashchisay steppe, with a relatively low species richness, is distinguished by a noticeable originality (in comparison with other local faunas of the Orenburg region). Its characteristic features are: a very high proportion of Central Palaearctic species (35%) (with an insignificant participation of Euro-Siberian and West Palaearctic forms); a sharp predominance of species of the subboreal complex (steppe and desert-steppe) (59%) with an almost complete absence of boreal and proper nemoral elements; dominance of species of subarid herbaceous biotopes (in the absence of forest and a small number of meadow forms) and a significant proportion of species of the halophilic complex. The data presented in the article allow to consider the fauna of the Ashchisay steppe as transitional to the fauna of complex semi-deserts of Northern Kazakhstan and confirm the importance of the protected area for the preservation of peculiar natural complexes of the extreme southeast of the Orenburg region.
