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

Two Noctuoidea species are reported from the eastern Zaisan Depression (Kara- Irtysh River Valley) in East Kazakhstan: Chelis pardalina (Püngeler, 1898) (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Arctiini) and Conistra politina (Staudinger, 1888) (Noctuidae: Noctuinae: Xylenini). Both findings significantly increase the known ranges of the species to the north-east. Adults and habitats along with distribution maps are illustrated. Photographs of the genitalia of both sexes of Conistra politina are illustrated for the first time.
