Abstract

New records of the clear-wing moth Microsphecia brosiformis (Hübner, 1813) from the territory of two regions of the Russian Federation (Orenburg Region and Republic of Bashkortostan) are given. This species is reported for the fauna of the Southern Ural for the first time. The boundary of the species range in the European part of Russia is extended by almost 900 km to the east. Males were attracted with synthetic pheromone lures. Specimens were found in the mountainous habitats; however, we assume that the species is widely distributed in the steppes of the Urals, Western Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan. The number of clear-wing moth species in the Southern Urals increased to 15.
