In 2015 year, for the first time in Russia, systematic investigations into poorly studied group of Coleoptera of the family Heteroceridae were initiated. Initial results (for the past 5 years) are presented in this work. Data obtained from these studies can be divided into several thematic groups: systematic acts, faunistic findings (including zoogeographic notes), and materials on bioecological features of heterocerida. Systematics: based on the examination of the type specimens of Heteroсerus kamtschaticus Egorov, 1989, its synonymy is with Heteroerus fenestratus (Thunberg, 1784) is established. The validity of Heterocerus fausti Reitter, 1879, and H. heydeni Kuwert, 1890 is restored. Faunistics: Augyles interspidulus (Charpentier, 1979), A. tokejii Nomura, 1958, A. turanicus (Reitter, 1887), A. marmota (Kiesenwetter, 1850), and Heterocerus kaszabi Charpentier, 1979 are recorded for the first time in Russia; lists and new findings of heterocerids species in the European part of Russia, Caucasus, Ural, West Siberia, Russian Far East, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia are presented. Ecology: for the first time, the composition and structure of heterocerid population are studied in the littoral zone of waterbodies in the north of the Lower Volga region; data on the biotopical diversification, seasonal dynamics and hibernation of some species of mud-loving beetles are presented. The position of beetles of the family Heteroceridae in food webs of riparian communities in European Russia and Mongolia is discussed, and the main trophic links within the Heteroceridae related communities are recorded. Symbionts of heterocerids are also discussed.

The family Micronoctuidae and the genus Micronoctua Fibiger, 1997 are reported from the Russian Far East and neighbouring countries for the first time. The family is represented in the region by two species in the genera Mimachrostia Sugi, 1982 and Micronoctua both occurring in Russian Far East, Korea, China and Japan. The northern distribution limit of the family Micronoctuidae is the middle of the Amur River (50°31΄N, 137°035΄E), reached by Mimachrostia fasciata Sugi, 1982. The new species, Micronoctua occi, sp. n. is described from Russian Far East, the Korean peninsula, China and the Tsushima Islands of Japan. The male and female genitalia are illustrated and compared with those of Micronoctua karsholti. Distribution maps for the two species are presented.

Currently, invasive species spreading is becoming a key problem on the global scale. Scope of invasive species control get solved at governmental level in many countries; hundreds of billions dollars a year are allocated as financial support; global programs are created. For the first time, biological control of invasive species Ambrosia artemisiifolia using an introduced phytophage insect was applied in Russia (former USSR) in the 60-70s years of the 20th century and it remains a unique large-scale example until to nowadays. Ambrosia leaf beetle (Zygogramma suturalis (Fabricius, 1775) was brought to the Russian Far East for biological control of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in the 80-90s years of the 20th century for the first time, however the targeted result was not achieved. At present, Zygogramma suturalis were adapted at the Primorskii Krai in the south of the Far East, but due to climatic conditions its numbers are low and, as a result, the impact on ambrosia is minimal. The search for native insect species with capable of effectively suppressing the spread of aggressive quarantine weed in local conditions remains in the area of focus. At the moment, two species of native leaf beetles have been identified, using Ambrosia as an additional element in the diet. Climate changes and the shift of biogeographic boundaries cause the natural expansion of the areals of some East Asian insect species to the north within the Russian Far East. Bug-edge Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) is one of such species. Expanding the area to the north and east, the species also corrects trophic preferences. As a result of our research in the south of Primorskii Krai, the trophic relations of Molipteryx fuliginosa were studied in the field conditions and in rearing cages. The same work was carried out in places where Ambrosia artemisiifolia were growing in a great number. For insects observing were used standard methods. As a result, firstly was established and confirmed that the bug-edge uses Ambrosia artemisiifolia as a feed plant only in select developmental stages, including imago. The feeding of larvae of IV – V ages was noted in natural conditions. The long-time Molipteryx fuliginosa development cycle on ambrosia leads to break the course of normal plant ontogenesis and causes wilting of individual organs.

The DNA-barcoding and chromosomal study of the eastern water bat, Myotis petax Hollister, 1912, from the earlier unexplored localities in the Russian Far East are carried out. The COI barcoding obtained for 18 from a total of 19 individuals captured in five localities in the Russian Far East showed the low nucleotide variability with the prevalence of the central, the most abundant haplotype. The chromosomal characteristics of eight M. petax specimens (2n = 44, NFa = 52) in the Russian Far East are clarified. The number and localization of NOR in karyotype of M. petax is described at the first time and differ from distributional patterns of NOR in the sibling species M. daubentonii Kuhl, 1819 that can be used as diagnostic feature. The considerable intraspecific variability in the distribution of heterochromatin material revealed is not typical of the genus Myotis, but it has been found in other species of the family Vespertilionidae.

Japanese species of Microtendipes are reviewed. Eleven names proposed in this genus, including Russian M. sakhalinensis Zorina, 2001, are synonymized with M. umbrosus Freeman, 1955, for which male and female adults, pupa and larva are redescribed based on specimens collected from Japan. Two species, M. shoukomaki Sasa, 1989 and M. famiefeus Sasa, 1996, are validated based on the re-examination of type specimens and are redescribed based on specimens newly collected from Japan. Descriptions of the larva of M. shoukomaki and the female adult, pupa and larva of M. famiefeus are given here for the first time. Microtendipes chloris (Meigen, 1818) sensu Sasa is redescribed as a new species, M. parachloris Niitsuma & Tang sp. nov., based on the male adult. Additionally, synonymic notes of Polypedilum (Cerobregma) yamasinense (Tokunaga, 1940) comb. nov. and P. (Polypedilum) tsukubaense (Sasa, 1979), transferred from Microtendipes, are given. Polypedilum kamotertium Sasa, 1989 and M. iriocedeus Sasa & Suzuki, 2000 are synonymized with the above two species, respectively, based on each original description.         The distribution of M. umbrosus extends from Africa to the Russian Far East and East Asia (Japan, China), and Australia and Thailand (with new distributions reported here). Although no African type material is examined here, the morphological features of those populations are consistent with Freeman’s concept.
