This paper presents the results of 30 years of field studies on the Caraboidea fauna of the southern Sikhote-Alin Mountain, Russian Far East. Material was collected at 300+ geographical localities within 18 administrative and seven urban districts of the Primorsky Krai, Russia. A total of 55,953 adult ground beetles belonging to 426 subspecies, 411 species, 86 genera and three families were studied. The families Rhysodidae and Trachypachidae are represented by one species each, while the family Carabidae the remaining 409 species. The resulting sampling-event dataset includes 12,852 occurrences. This is the first dataset underlying an accurate and referenced taxonomic composition, as well as the geographic distribution of the Caraboidea in the southern Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Primorsky Krai, Russian Far East.

The family Diplomaragnidae Attems, 1907 of the Asian part of Russia is reviewed and shown to comprise 11 genera and 60 species + 1 dubious species. Two genera and seven species are described here as new to science: Alineuma gen. nov., with type species A. rodionovi sp. nov. and Litovkia gen. nov., with the type species L. anisimovka sp. nov., Diplomaragna budilovi sp. nov., Diplomaragna dentifer sp. nov., Pacifiosoma shabalini sp. nov., Pacifiosoma acutum sp. nov., Pacifiosoma triangulatum sp. nov. Pacifiosoma asperum Mikhaljova, 2016 is recorded from the Primorsky Krai for the first time. Five genera are endemic to the Asian part of Russia. At the species level, the rate of endemism amounts to 91.7%. A key is given to all species of Diplomaragnidae presently known from Siberia and the Russian Far East. The distributions of the region’s diplomaragnids are discussed. Taxonomic remarks are provided for many species.

We compiled a list of the ground beetles that have been confirmed to occur to date in the southern Kuril Islands, Russian Far East. The list includes 168 species, all of which are known from Kunashir Island and the species richness on the remaining islands ranges from 68 (Shikotan Island) to 21 species (Tanfil'eva Island). The species richness is shown to depend sublinearly on island area, this being unusual for island faunas (Triantis et al. 2011). A large part of data is published here for the first time on the records of ground beetles in the southern Kuril Islands with precise localities. This allows not only the taxonomic composition of the faunas, but also the composition of local faunas to be discussed.

Five new species of the family Poaceae are described from the Russian Far East: Agrostis czernjaginae Prob. (sect. Trichodium) (revealed chromosome number 2n = 42) from thermal springs of Kamchatka, Bromopsis kozhevnikovii Prob. (sect. Rhizomatosae) from high mountains of Dusse-Alin Range in the Khabarovsk Territory, Poa amurica Prob. (sect. Stenopoa) from Selemdzha River in the Amur Region, Koeleria dersu Prob. et Prokopenko (sect. Koeleria) from the eastern macroslope of Sikhote-Alin in the Primorye Territory, Agrostis × lapenkoi Prob. (probably, intersectional hybrid: A. giganteaRoth × A. clavata Trin.) from Ussuri River basin, also in the Primorye Territory.

The taxonomic composition of the Polypodiophyta of the Russian Far East was processed more than 30 years ago. There was a need to revise the taxonomic composition of this group of plants, the systematic position of its representative species, taking into account recent research. The taxonomic composition of the Dryopteridaceae family was specified. Dryopteridaceae is the largest family of Polypodiophyta in the flora of Russia and the Russian Far East. It showed that in the Russian Far East, the family is represented by 4 genera and 17 species.

The results of long-term introduction of species of the family Ranunculaceae of the Russian Far East in the laboratory of natural flora of MBG are presented. The taxonomic composition, the duration of existence in culture and the stability of the samples in the given agro-climatic conditions are analyzed. The assessment of the feasibility of re-attraction to the collection is given. The analysis showed that for the period 1945-2020 84 species have been tested, which is 47% of the number of species of this family living in nature in the Russian Far East. An analysis of the species composition and resistance showed that one-biennials and perennials with a short life span, which require constant replanting, are unpromising. And also annuals and perennials, which do not reproduce in our conditions. Species that are resistant in our conditions and have lived in the collection for more than 20 years can be recommended for re-cultivation. Keywords: NATURAL FLORA, INTRODUCTION, RUSSIAN FAR EAST

The methodological approach and methodical problems of evaluation and mapping of biodiversity of mountain forest territory in Primorsky Krai (south of the Russian Far East) are considered. The complex evaluation of biodiversity is presented according to the scheme: (ecotopical environments → vegetation → animal population) ← fire-danger. It is proposed to compile the maps of ecotopical diversity on a basis of diversity index and contrast of relief characteristics, and the maps of geobotanical and zoological diversity — on a basis of spatial extrapolation of indexes relating biota to environmental conditions. The examples of construction of appropriate maps are given for Primorye Region.

The insect fauna of Mongolia includes about 12,000 species belonging to 24 orders. The only order, Orthoptera, is richer in species in Mongolia than in the Far East of Russia. All other units show greater diversity in the Russian Far East than in Mongolia. There are a significant number of very interesting endemics. Tizanuras of the family Machilidae are relic insects, represented by five species in Mongolia. As examples of widespread Central Asian insects, a number of species of darkling beetles and weevils can be indicated, most of which are endemic to Mongolia or Central Asia.
