Abstract

This doctoral thesis is focused on 3 Noctuoidea families of Macroherocera to establish their faunistic, taxonomic and biogeographical features. 485 species were found in the Pavlodar region (North-East Kazakhstan). The Noctuoidea fauna of the Pavlodar region has a similar quantitative-species distribution in the main geomorphological landscapes of the region. In the West Siberian Plain 394 species (81.23%), and in Kazakh Upland 366 species (75.46%) were found. In the bionomic structure of the Noctuoidea fauna of the Pavlodar region, most species are mesophilous (159 species, 32.78%) and xerophilous (125 species, 25.77%). Comparison of the taxonomic composition of the fauna of Noctuoidea in Croatia and the Pavlodar region showed that the greatest similarity between the faunas of the two territories at the taxonomic level is observed among 23.57% species.

Abstract (english)

Ovaj doktorski rad je usmjeren na obradu 3 porodice iz nadporodice Noctuoidea, skupine Macroherocera, u cilju utvrđenja faunističkih, taksonomskih i biogeografskih značajki. U pavlodarskoj regiji (sjeveroistočni Kazahstan) utvrđeno je 485 vrsta. Fauna Noctuoidea pavlodarske regije ima sličnu rasprostranjenost u različitim geomorfološkim područjima regije. Na zapadnoj sibirskoj ravnici zabilježeno je 394 vrste (81,23%), a u kazahstanskom visočju 366 vrsta (75,46%). U fauni Noctuoidea pavlodarskog područja, većina vrsta je mezofilna (159 vrsta, 32,78%) i kserofilna (125 vrsta, 25,77%). Usporedba sastava faune Noctuoidea u Hrvatskoj i Pavlodarskoj regiji pokazala je da sličnost faune od 23.57% između tih dvaju područja.
