Description
Summary:Twenty two species of Heteroceridae from the genera Augyles and Heterocerus are known for Russia. The fauna of Heteroceridae of the Russian Far East has not been deliberately studied, and modern data are fragmentary and require critical analysis. An annotated list of 6 species of Heteroceridae is given for fauna of Russian Far East: Augyles holdhausi (Mamitza, 1930), A. intermedius (Kiesenwetter, 1843), A. japonicus (Kôno, 1931), A. tokejii (Nomura, 1958), Heterocerus fenestratus (Thunberg, 1784) and H. marginatus (Fabricius, 1787). Augyles holdhausi and Heterocerus fenestratus are recorded from Sakhalin Region and Jewish Autonomous Region respectively for the first time. The record of Heterocerus flexuosus Stephens, 1828 from Primorskiy Region needs confirmation. Augyles hispidulus (Kiesenwetter, 1843) is excluded from the Russian Far East fauna list
