Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

It is created on materials of the map with scale 1:33 000 000 on the basis of information taken from literature.

Projection:

.Alber.s Equal Conica for the USSR., 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic content:

Vector map, which consists of 3 thematic layers. Area of distribution and zones of damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

Within the area of distribution, the zone of low damage is established according to the extent of damage to lupine. In the zone of low damage, harmfulness of Sitona griseus is about 1 point under the 5-points of harmfulness scale (Kopaneva et al., 1983). Threshold of harmfulness on the lupine crops in phase of sprouts is 5-10 adults per sq. m.

Method of map production:

Data from the open publications are used for allocation of area and zone of pest damage. Map of the area is based also on the analysis of the collection of the Zoological Institute RAS. The localities of the species are marked preliminarily in coordinate system on blank geographical map by standard means of GIS-technologies. Species inhabits the European part of the former USSR from the western boundaries (Petrukha, 1969; Ioannisiani, 1972) eastward to Nizhnii Novgorod Region (Kryzhanovskii et al., 1974), and from the Baltic States in the North (Silfverberg, 1992) southward to forest-steppe zone in Ukraine, at latitudes from 56-59-N to 49-N (Petrukha, 1969). The zone of low damage comprises territory of the lupine-growing in Byelorussia (Gorbunova, 1954), Territory of Poles'ye in the northern part of Ukraine (Areshnikov, 1956), Smolensk and Bryansk Regions of Russia (Rybchin, 1971).
