Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of a map with scale 1:33 000 000.

Projection:

.Alber.s Equal Conica for the USSR., 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zone of low pest damage is shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

The threshold of harmfulness on cereals during the tillering stage is 25-30 adults per 100 sweeps of a butterfly net. Within the area of distribution, based on this criterion, only a zone of low damage was established according to the extent of damage caused to agricultural plants.

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature, species distribution was hand drawn on maps. If data were on the Oblast-level, distribution is on the Oblast level. In some cases, Oblast.s are further refined by boundaries of the Arable Land Map (Koroljeva et al., 2003). Hand drawn maps were scanned, georeferenced and vectorized. The map of the distribution area was created based on the following sources: Putele (1970a, 1970b), Lopatin (1977), Medvedev & Ammosov (1978), Lopatin & Kulenova (1986), Konstantinov (1988), Dubeshko & Medvedev (1989). The pests are found in taiga and absent in subarctic territories, deserts and semi-deserts. The borders of the zone of low damage were adjusted to economically significant areas of cereal crops in the European part of the former USSR within the zones of deciduous and mixed forests, in Central Chernozem Region of Russia without the southern part, in Upper and Middle part of Volga region, in Bashkiria, Orenburg region, West and East Siberia, north of Kazakhstan, Primorskii Territory. Borders of the zone of low pest damage were determined according to the following sources: Dobrovol'skii (1951), Palii (1961), Putele (1970a, 1970b), Shutak (1973), Kopaneva (1980), Dubeshko & Medvedev (1989), Timokhina & Sobakar' (1991) and was adjusted according to the vector layers of Koroljeva et al. (2003).
