陕西省天蛾科种类记述及其地理分布的研究

文中列出了陕西省天蛾65种和亚种的学名及中文名,讨论了地理分布,订正了一些错误的或值疑的鉴定。考察表明:1.发生在山区的种类比平原或高原地区多,陕北风沙区的种类最少,这和当地植物相有关。2.白眉天蛾属 Celerio 4种,均发生在秦岭北部地区,其适应自然环境有一定局限性。3.秦岭在阻隔大多数天蛾在其南北麓的分布上作用不大。

Notes of Sphingidae from Shaanxi Province and Their Geographical Distributions

In this paper,65 species and subspecies of the family Sphingidae from Shaanxi Province are given scientific and Chinese names.Also, their geographical distribution is discussed.Certain wrong or disput- able identifications are revised.The investigations show:(1)The number of species occuring in the mountainous regions is larger than that in the plains or plateau areas.The number of species occuring in the wind and sand-drift region in north Shaanxi is the smallest.These are closely related to local flora,(2)The distributions of 4 species of the genus Celerio Oken are limited in the northern part of the Qin- ling Mountains.They have certain limitations in their adaptation to natural environment.(8)The Qinling Mountains may not play an im- portant role in limiting the distribution of most species of Sphingidae.
