Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

New data on the Lepidoptera fauna of Northern Kazakhstan are presented based on materials collected during the 2025 field season. Field surveys were conducted in several districts of the region (Tayynsha, Akkayin, Esil, Shal akyn, and Aiyrtau districts). As a result of the study, 250 species of Lepidoptera belonging to 27 families were recorded. Forty-five species are reported for the first time from the studied territory. The obtained data supplement previously published information on the Lepidoptera fauna of Northern Kazakhstan and indicate that the region remains insufficiently studied.
