Types of Insects Listed in the 2004 IUCN RLTS Not Included in the Red Book of Kyrgyzstan

Insect species listed in the 2004 IUCN RLTS, not included in the Red Book of Kyrgyzstan

1. Chichyrkanak kuluk kaldyrkany - Hyles hippophaes (Esper, 1789) - Seathorn Hawk-moth (Lepidoptera order, Sphingidae family)
According to the assessment conducted in 1996, it is included in the IUCN RLTS with the DD category [76]. The species is widely distributed, and its range is expanding [42, 50]. In Kyrgyzstan, it is represented by two subspecies, H. h. bienerti Staudinger, 1874 and H. h. shugnana Scheljuzhko, 1933 [12, 42], whose numbers and range are stable [41]. It is not included in the Red Book of neighboring Uzbekistan for similar reasons [23].

Included in the IUCN RLTS (DD category according to the assessment conducted in 1996) [76]. The species is widely distributed and even expanding its range [42, 50], represented in Kyrgyzstan by two subspecies, H. h. bienerti Staudinger, 1874 and H. h. shugnana Scheljuzhko, 1933 [12, 42], whose numbers and range are stable [41]. It is not included in the Red Data Book of neighboring Uzbekistan [23] for the same reason.

2. Maturna kepelgu - Hypodryas maturna (Linnaeus, 1758) - Scarce Fritillary (Lepidoptera order, Nymphalidae family)
Included in the IUCN RLTS with the DD category according to the assessment conducted in 1996 [76]. It is a widely distributed species. Populations previously classified as H. m. staudingeri (Wnukowsky, 1929) in Kyrgyzstan are now considered to belong to the species Euphydryas asiatica (Staudinger, 1881) [50, 88], meaning that the H. maturna species has been removed from the fauna of the Republic [12]. Eu. asiatica is rarely encountered, but currently, there is no alarming data in Kyrgyzstan [40].

Included in the IUCN RLTS (DD category according to the assessment conducted in 1996) [76]. A very widespread species. Populations from Kyrgyzstan, previously attributed to the subspecies H. m. staudingeri (Wnukowsky, 1929), are now considered to belong to another species, Euphydryas asiatica (Staudinger, 1881) [50, 88], meaning that the H. maturna species has been excluded from the fauna of the Republic [12]. Eu. asiatica is not often encountered, but currently, there is insufficient data to assess the threat category in Kyrgyzstan [40].

3. Ottoy jupsuz kepelek - Thersamonolycaena (=Lycaena) dispar (Haworth, 1802) - Large Copper (Lepidoptera order, Lycaenidae family)
Included in the IUCN RLTS with the LR/nt category according to the assessment conducted in 1996 [76]. It is a widely distributed species, known in Kyrgyzstan [17] as Th. d. rutila (Werneburg, 1864), with stable range and populations in the Republic [40, 41].

Included in the IUCN RLTS (LR/nt category according to the assessment conducted in 1996) [76]. A widely distributed species, represented in Kyrgyzstan [17] by the subspecies Th. d. rutila (Werneburg, 1864) [12], whose range and populations in the Republic are stable [40, 41].

Assessed for IUCN RLTS in 1996 as species of the LR/nt category [76]. The species is widely distributed and is represented in Kyrgyzstan [17] by subspecies Th. d. rutila (Werneburg, 1864) [12], which subspecies has stable number and area [40, 41].

4. Kegultur alcon - Maculinea alcon (Denis et Schiffermbiller, 1775) - Alcon Large Blue (Lepidoptera order, Lycaenidae family)
Included in the IUCN RLTS with the LR/nt category according to the assessment conducted in 1996 [76]. It is a widely distributed species, common in the Eurasian region extending north from Kyrgyzstan. This species has only been found once in the Republic [41], and despite the need for verification, it does not require protection, as all species of the Maculinea genus have stable ranges and populations in Kyrgyzstan [40].

Included in the IUCN RLTS (LR/nt category according to the assessment conducted in 1996) [76]. A widely distributed species, common in Eurasia north of Kyrgyzstan. Despite the need to verify the single doubtful [41] record of this species in the Republic, there is no need for its protection, as populations and ranges of all Maculinea species in Kyrgyzstan are stable [40].

Assessed for IUCN RLTS in 1996 as species of the LR/nt category [76]. This widespread species is common in Eurasia to the north of Kyrgyzstan territory. Despite the necessity to check the single doubtful [41] discovery in the Republic, it is no need to protect this species because all Maculinea species in Kyrgyzstan have stable areas and abundance in populations [40].

5. Köğltür arion - Maculinea arion (Linnaeus, 1758) - Arion Large Blue (Lepidoptera order, Lycaenidae family)
Included in the IUCN RLTS with the LR/nt category according to the assessment conducted in 1996 [76]. It is a very widely distributed species. The record of its occurrence in Kyrgyzstan [17] refers to the Central Asian subspecies M. a. cyanecula (Eversmann, 1848), which is currently considered a separate species [50], meaning that the M. arion species has been excluded from the fauna checklist of the Republic [12]. Furthermore, populations and ranges of all Maculinea species in Kyrgyzstan are stable [40].

Assessed for IUCN RLTS in 1996 as species of the LR/nt category [76]. This species is very widely distributed. The indication [17] of M. arion spreading in Kyrgyzstan was relevant to the Central Asian subspecies M. a. cyanecula (Eversmann, 1848), which taxon at present time is considered in the separate species rank [50], i.e., M. arion is excluded from the faunal checklist of the Republic [12]. Besides that, all Maculinea species in Kyrgyzstan have stable areas and abundance in populations [40].
