ABSTRACT. The insect fauna of Russian Far East (RFE) is represented by about 31500 estimated species from 629 recorded families of 31 orders. The largest orders are Hymenoptera (72 families, 9000 estimated species), Diptera (119 families, 8000 estimated species), Coleoptera (114 families, 5500 estimated species), Lepidoptera (81 families, 5000 estimated species). The list of recorded insect families as the estimated number of species for each RFE region are given firstly. The distribution of some families in Russia is restricted by RFE only. Among 93 insect species included in Red Data Book of Russian Federation 43 occur in RFE only. The most rich insect fauna associated with mixed broad-leaved-coniferous forests in the south of RFE. Eastern Palaearcric species are dominated in RFE (more than 50 %). There are two hot insect biodiversity spots on RFE: Primorskii krai and Kuril Islands. Comparison of number species in the RFE with other Holarctic regions is given.

V.S. Sidorenko. Phylogeny of the tribe Steganini Hendel and some related taxa (Diptera, Drosophilidae). - Far Eastern entomologist, 2002, 111: 1-20.
ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic relationships of the tribe Steganini and some related taxa of the subfamily Steganinae were analysed. 31 species of Steganinae as ingroup and 3 species representatives of three ephydroid families as outgroup were studied. 78 adult morphological characters (from the head to the male and female terminalia) were extracted for the analysis. The data matrix was subjected to a cladistic analysis by PAUP 4.0b8 and gilded a consensus tree (length of 328 steps, CI – 0.3865, HI – 0.6135, RI – 0.6311, RC – 0.2439). Results of analysis support the former suprageneric classification (Grimaldi, 1990) but taxonomic status of some genera and subgenera must be changed. Anastega Sidorenko, subgen. n. is described in the genus Stegana. Subgenus Nankangomyia Maca et Lin, 1993, comb. n. is transferred from the genus Leucophenga (tribe Steganini) to the genus Cacoxenus (tribe Gitonini), therefore new combinations are proposed: C. (N.) academicus (Maca et Lin, 1993), comb. n.; C. (N.) leucophengoides (Sturtevant, 1927), comb. n.; C. (N.) parallelinervis (Duda, 1924), comb. n.; C. (N.) philip-pinensis (Sidorenko, 1998), comb. n. Parastegana Okada, 1971, stat. n. is considered as distinct genus of tribe Gitonini with following species: P. droso-phi-loides (Toda et Peng, 1992), comb. n.; P. femorata (Duda, 1923), comb. n.; P. maculipennis (Okada, 1971), comb. n. Pseudostegana Okada, 1978, stat. n. is considered as distinct genus of tribe Gitonini with following species: P. albinotata (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. campanularia (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. fleximi-di-a-ta (Takada, Momma et Shima, 1973), comb. n.; P. grandipalpis (Takada et Momma, 1975), comb. n.; P. hirta (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. javana (Okada, 1978), comb. n.;P. lacrymaria (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. latipalpis (Sidorenko, 1998), comb. n.; P. latiparma (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. latizonaria (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. lineoparma (Okada, 1982), comb. n.; P. malayana (Okada, 1978), comb. n.; P. zonaria (Okada, 1982), comb. n. Among the studied species of the subgenus Steganina three species-groups were established (two of them for the first time).
