Date of creation:

15.11.2006.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on information taken from the open published literature and maps of scale 1: 33 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic for the USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic content:

Vector map. Area is shown by polygons (main distribution) and by dots (sporadic distribution). Zones of damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Economic thresholds have been proposed (Batasheva, 1985) based on appreciable level of raspberry yield loss (5%); the threshold for larvae is 7.7-8.4% damaged berries, and that for beetles is 2.8-3.4 imagoes per bush. Zones of moderate and low damage are allocated within the general area of Raspberry Beetle. Under favorable (humid) conditions for the beetle mass reproduction in the zone of moderate damage, imagoes injure 30% of raspberry buds and flowers, and larvae destroy 50% of yield (Savzdarg, 1960; Babenko, 1982). In the zone of low damage the Raspberry Beetle numbers rarely exceeds economic threshold. Anthonomus rubi Herbst often develops together with B. tomentosus on fruit and berry cultures; their control is usually carried out simultaneously.

Method of map production:

The map is compiled by results of the analysis of the open published materials taking into account the Collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Science, St.Petersburg, Russia. The Raspberry Beetle area is outlined according to original and reference data on the species distribution (Korol.kov, 1919; Gur.eva, 1974; Sedykh, 1974; Shernin, 1974; Savkovskii, 1976; Babenko, 1982; Polyakov et al., 1984; Prokof.ev, 1987; Springer & Goodrich, 1990; Hanni & Luik, 2006; etc.). Northern border of the area in the European part goes through Murmansk (Znamenskaya, 1960), Arkhangel.sk (ZIN collection) and Kirov Regions (SHernin, 1974), Komi Republic (Sedykh, 1974) and Perm. Territory (Koz.minykh, 1997). In Siberia the area may reach northern border of distribution of wild-growing raspberry (Chikov, 1976), but we know records from only southern parts of Siberia and the Far East (to Sakhalin inclusive; ZIN collection; Makarov, 2006). In this regard, the northern border of the area is drawn along 58°N latitude from Ural to Baikal and along 54°N latitude from Baikal to lower reaches of Amur River, with its correction according with actual records and findings. The records from Kamchatka and Uzbekistan are shown by dots (Springer & Goodrich, 1990). Transcaucasia is included after Samedov (1963), Springer & Goodrich, 1990; and ZIN collection. High mountains of the Caucasus are excluded from the area. In Kazakhstan, the pest is marked in southeastern and eastern parts after the data of Matesova (1962). The zone of moderate damage includes northwestern and nonchernozem zones of the former USSR and Siberia (Polyakov et al., 1984; Batasheva, 1985; Prokof.ev, 1987; et al.). The zone of low damage coincides with the raspberry growth zone on the rest territory of the European part and Transcaucasia. Its borders are corrected according to the vector map of Chukhina (2005).
