Abstract

All credible and available published records for 17 species of moth flies known so far from Armenia (Phlebotominae 11 species, Psychodinae 6 species) and Azerbaijan (Phlebotominae 18 species) are summarized. The first records of 18 species of Psychodinae (tribes Mormiini, Paramormiini, Psychodini, Pericomaini) from Armenia and 6 new faunistic records (tribes Psychodini, Pericomaini) for the fauna of Azerbaijan are listed. The checklist of recent moth flies from Armenia includes now 35 species, and from Azerbaijan, 24 species.

Introduction

As mentioned by Oboňa et al. (2017b), the Caucasus is among the top 25 biologically richest and most endangered hotspots in the world, with an exceptional concentration of endemic species and species at risk. It is also one of the ecoregions of WWF’s Global 200 project, which were identified as having outstanding terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats (Myers et al. 2000; Krever et al. 2001). The remarkable richness of the flora and fauna is determined by complex orography, geology, and climate and results in a variety of habitats, landscapes, and microclimates in this mountain range at the border of Europe and Asia and at the junction of temperate and subtropical zones. This area is affected by both Atlantic air masses and the dry continental climate of continental Eurasia (Price 2000).

The location of this area creates favourable conditions for entomological research. However, several families of flies have not been well studied in the Caucasus, and in particular, in Armenia and Azerbaijan (Oboňa et al. 2016b, 2017b).

Moth flies (Psychodidae) are represented only by 17 species previously recorded in Armenia (mainly Perfil’ev 1966; Lewis 1982; Artemiev and Neronov 1984; Vaillant 1972; Wagner 1981, 1990, 2013; Wagner and Joost 1986; Wagner et al. 2002; Melaun et al. 2014; Oboňa et al. 2017a). These species belong to subfamilies Phlebotominae [11 species: Phlebotomus (P.) papatasi (Scopoli, 1786); P. (Paraphlebotomus) alexandri Sinton, 1928; P. (P.) cucasicus Marzinovsky, 1917; P. (P.) sergenti Parrot, 1917; P. (P.) similis Perfil’ev, 1963; P. (Larroussius) kandelakii Shurenkova, 1929; P. (L.) tobbi Adler & Theodor in Adler, Theodor & Lourie, 1930; P. (Adlerius) halepensis Theodor, 1958; P. (A.) simici Nitzulescu, 1931; Sergentomyia (Neophlebotomus) pawlowskyi (Perfiliev, 1933); and S. (Parrotomyia) palestinensis (Adler & Theodor, 1927)] and Psychodinae [6 species: Parajungiella monikae (Wagner & Joost, 1986); Paramormia (P.) fratercula (Eaton, 1893); Joostiella caucasica Vaillant, 1983; Pericoma (P.) exquisita Eaton, 1893; Pneumia joosti (Wagner, 1981); and Thornburghiella veve Oboňa & Ježek, 2017].

From Azerbaijan, 18 species of Psychodidae have been recorded, all belonging to subfamily Phlebotominae [Phlebotomus (P.) papatasi (Scopoli, 1786); P. (Paraphlebotomus) alexandri Sinton, 1928; P. (P.) cucasicus Marzinovsky, 1917; P. (P.) jacusieli Theodor, 1947; P. (P.) mongolensis Sinton, 1928; P. (P.) sergenti Parrot, 1917; P. (P.) similis Perfil’ev, 1963; P. (Larroussius) kandelakii Shurenkova, 1929; P. (L.) perfiliewi transcaucasicus Perfiliew, 1937; P. (L.) perniciosus Newstead, 1911; P. (L.) tobbi Adler & Theodor in Adler, Theodor & Lourie, 1930; P. (Adlerius) balcanicus Theodor, 1958; P. (A.) brevis Theodor & Mesghali, 1964; P. (A.) halepensis Theodor, 1958; P. (A.) simici Nitzulescu, 1931, Sergentomyia (S.) dentata Sinton, 1933; S. (Neophlebotomus) pawlowskyi (Perfiliev, 1933); and S. (Parrotomyia) palestinensis (Adler & Theodor, 1927)].

Material and methods

The material presented here comes from two different sampling campaigns. The first campaign collected material by sweep-netting vegetation along streams and lakes in Armenia from August 26 to September 4, 2015 by J. Oboňa, P. Manko and Ľ. Hrivniak; it is preserved in 75% ethanol. A list of 28 sampling sites, with coordinates and altitudes, is given in Table 1. Captured moth flies were mounted in Canada balsam on 85 slides in the laboratory. The second collection campaign by Ľ. Hrivniak in Azerbaijan from May 26 to June 4, 2017 used the same collecting methods. Samples were collected at various sites by sweep-netting from vegetation along streams and lakes and light trapping by H. A list of 4 sampling sites, with coordinates and altitudes, is given in Table 2. The collected material was preserved in 96% ethanol in the field. Captured moth flies were mounted in Canada balsam on 7 slides in laboratory.

All material, determined by the first author, is deposited in the National Museum, Natural History Museum, Department of Entomology, Prague, Czech Republic. Slides are numbered by inventory slide number of the family Psychodidae, and catalogue number (cat. no.) of the slide to be included in the NMPCDiptera collection (Tkoč et al. 2014). Nomenclature is according to Perfil’ev (1966), Lewis (1982), and Artemiev and Neronov (1984) for Phlebotominae; for Psychodinae the nomenclature is modified from Vaillant (1972) and Wagner (1990, 2013) using the classifications of e.g. Ježek and van Harten 2005, Oboňa and Ježek (2014), and Kroča and Ježek (2015). The following abbreviations are used in the paper: H = Ľ. Hrivniak leg., J = J. Ježek det., Ma = P. Manko leg., O = J. Oboňa leg., NMPC = collections of the National Museum Prague, HC = hand collecting, SW = sweep netting, LT = light traps.

It is known from the central Caucasus at Terskol, Russia (Vaillant and Joost 1983: 100). New for Armenia.

Discussion

According to Oboňa et al. (2016b, 2017b) and Hrivniak et al. (2018), as compared to many European countries, Transcaucasia (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan) is insufficiently investigated for flies of the families Anisopodidae, Bibionidae, Dixidae, Drosophilidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae, Ptychopteridae, and Scatopsidae. Only 17 species of Psychodidae are known for Armenia and 18 species are known from Azerbaijan (Perfil’ev 1966; Lewis 1982; Artemiev and Neronov 1984; Vaillant 1972; Wagner 1981, 1990, 2013; Wagner and Joost 1986; Wagner et al. 2002; Melaun et al. 2014; Oboňa et al. 2017a). In the present paper, we include 35 recent species (18 of them newly recorded) from Armenia. Included are 11 species of Phlebotominae and 24 species of Psychodinae. Similarly, our checklist of moth flies from Azerbaijan includes 24 species, of which 6 are newly recorded. The species recorded include 18 species of Phlebotominae and 6 of Psychodinae. Our results certainly represent only a small part of the Armenian and Azerbaijan psychodid fauna. Finding common and widespread species such as Paramormia (Duckhousiella) ustulata, Psychodocha cinerea, Tinearia alternata, Pericoma (Pachypericoma) blandula, Pneumia canescens, Pneumia nubila, or invasive species such as Clogmia albipunctata, for the first time from these countries shows that the psychodid fauna is still poorly known.

Knowledge of species distribution is important for studying biogeography and making effective conservation actions. This checklist will provide a baseline for further studies and for initiation of concerted conservation actions in Armenia and Azerbaijan. No doubt that future collecting in Georgia and Azerbaijan, done with the support of the International Visegrad Fund (project No. 21810533), will yield additional faunistic novelties of interest, as shown by similar studies in this region of other dipteran families (e.g. Oboňa et al. 2016b, 2017b; Negrobov et al. 2017; Starý et al. 2017; Hrivniak et al. 2018).
