Date of creation:

Scale:

1:20 000 000

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on a map of scale 1:33 000 000 and based on information taken from literature.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of recorded mass outbreak are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

Within the area of distribution only a zone of low damage was established according to the extent of damage caused to agricultural plants. The threshold of harmfulness to the beet seedlings is 100-200 adults per 100 sweeps of the butterfly net.

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 following sources were used to determine the area of the map for this species: Lubischev (1963), Lopatin (1977), Medvedev & Ammosov (1978), Lopatin & Kulenova (1986), Konstantinov (1988), Dubeshko & Medvedev (1989), Medvedev (1992). The pest is found in taiga and absent in subarctic territories. Borders of the zone of low damage were adapted to the economically significant areas of sugar beet in the Baltic States, Poles'ye, in the northern part of the Ukraine, in the Central Chernozem Region of Russia except southern part, in Bashkiria, Tatarstan, and Altai. Borders of the zone of damage were determined according to the following sources: Dobrovol'skii (1951), Palii (1959, 1961), Putele (1970), Shutak (1973), Kopaneva (1981), Dubeshko & Medvedev (1989).
