Map was created using information from state publications and maps of scale 1:17,000,000.Projection:

Vector map consisting of 3 layers. Distribution area and zones of damage are shown by polygons.Accuracy of classifier:
The Cereal Leaf Beetle distribution area covers all main regions of industrial grain cultivation in the former USSR. Within the limits of the general distribution area, a zone of high damage and a zone of moderate and low damage were allocated. In the zone of high damage, with weather conditions favorable to species development (high air temperature and absence of precipitation), the population density exceeds 40-50 beetles/m2 on winter crops and 10-15 beetles/m2 on summer crops in the period of tillering and booting; the number of eggs or larvae appearing during the cereal growth stages, booting and ear emergence exceeds 0.5-1.0 specimens per stem, or leaf surface damage exceeds 10-15% of leaves (Dolzhenko, 2004; Slivkina, 1980; Kryazheva et al., 1981). In the zone of moderate and low damage, the population density in the period of tillering and booting usually does not exceed 40 beetles/m2 on winter crops and 10 beetles/m2 on summer ones; the number of eggs or larvae during the cereal growth stages, booting and ear emergence usually does not exceed 0.5-1.0 specimens per stem, or leaf surface damage does not exceed 10-15% of leaves. In practice, in the majority of regions, the Cereal Leaf Beetle is controlled alongside other pests of grain crops.Mapping procedure:
The map was compiled following an analysis of public cartographical materials and published sources. The Cereal Leaf Beetle distribution area was outlined using published data on species distribution (Gorbunova, 1957; Belyaev, 1959; Lopatin et al., 1974; Brovdii, 1974; Chmyr' & Kolesova, 1974; Medvedev & Amosov, 1978; Sobakar' et al., 1981; Polyakov et al., 1984; Antova, 1949; Megalov, 1974; Shvetsova, 1957; etc.). In Northern European Russia, the species occurs in the Leningrad and Vologda (Cherepovets) Regions and the Republic of Komi (Syktyvkar) (Karpova, 1936; Shernin, 1967; Sedykh, 1974; Lobanov, 2000). Within Central Asia and Kazakhstan, the pest occurs everywhere, except in sandy deserts (Gussakovskii, 1949; Antova, 1951; Slivkina, 1980). In Siberia, the species is widespread in steppe and forest-steppe zones from the Urals to the Chita Region (Shvetsova, 1957; Sobakar' et al., 1981; Medvedev & Amosov, 1978; Chashchina, 2002; Shilenkov et al., 2004; etc.); however, detailed research carried out in Yakutia demonstrate that the Cereal Leaf Beetle penetrates far northward into the taiga zone along river valleys, for example, along the valleys of Lena and Aldan to Yakutsk (Medvedev & Amosov, 1978). Material from Paramushir Island of Kuriles are in the collection of the Siberian Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Science (Tshernyshev, 2003). Polyakov et al. (1980) indicates that the harming activity of the pest on rice in the south of the Far East does not correspond to that mentioned in the latest publications. High mountains of the Caucasus and Central Asia were excluded from the distribution area. The zone of low damage includes steppe and forest-steppe zones of the European former USSR, Transcaucasia, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, steppes and forest-steppes of Southern Siberia (Polyakov et al., 1980). The zone of moderate damage covers areas within steppe and forest-steppe zones of European Russia, as well as foothill areas of the Northern Caucasus, Crimea and Ural (Brovdii, 1974; Lopatin et al., 1974; Chmyr' & Kolesova, 1974; Guslits & Shapiro, 1978; Guslits & Zubkov, 1980; Kryazheva et al., 1981; etc.), but available data do not allow us to draw borders of this zone. Thus, the uniform zone of low and moderate damage is shown on the map. Borders of the zone of high damage were specified using the map by Dobrovol'skii (1959) for the Northern Caucasus and the map by Slivkina (1980) for Kazakhstan. The zones of damage were corrected to match areas of industrial grain cultivation shown on the vector maps of I.E. Koroleva et al. (2003). Registration and vectorization of the raster map were executed using GIS technologies.Sources of data:
