Date of creation:

27.08.2004.

Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

Map was created based on materials of map of natural scale 1:33 000 000.

Projection:

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

Basic contents:

Vector map. Area of species distribution is shown by polygons. Zones of pest damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of classifier:

The insect area is divided into zones of high and low damage based on the following sources: Nevskii (1929), Bundzhe (1975) and others listed below. The zone of high damage includes regions that are characterized by periodical damage of plants according to points 3-5; the zone of low damage is characterized according to points 1 and 2 (Drakhovskaya, 1962).

Method of map production:

Scientists were given maps with boundaries of Oblasts and arable lands. After reviewing historic literature and materials of VIZR expeditions, 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 borders of the zones of harmfulness were determined based on the following sources: Bozhko (1950), Vasil'ev (1973), Bundzhe (1975), Migulin (1983), Pavlyushin (2001). The northern border was determined based on the work of Shaposhnikov (1964) and Ivanovskaya (1977), VIZR expeditions and data taken from suctions traps. The results of the analysis of hosts spreading have been used according to the Atlas of vegetation of the USSR (fruit trees, vegetables, potatoes, tobacco, and other agricultural crops, also big number of weeds), taking into account the temperature preference of this insect (both holocyclic and anholocyclic forms). The vector map of the distribution of fruit trees within the territory of the Former Soviet Union and the map of arable lands have also been used for the adjustment of damage zones (Koroljeva et al., 2003).
