Abstract

The butterfly fauna of the northeast of the Russian Plain includes 117 species, the distribution of which is mainly limited by zonal boundaries. Eleven landscape-zonal groups of butterflies combined into four landscape complexes: arctic (7 species), hypoarctic (25), forest (43), and intrazonal (42 species) are distinguished.
