| Abstract |
Ecological and geomorphological factors that control the distribution of Lepidopterous insects were thoroughly examined in three different areas of Egypt.These areas Senoris Fayoum Governorate ; Al-Arish South Sinai Governorate and Kharga Valley Governorate. One hundred and ninety two species belonging to 143 genera of 23 families were recorded. The study of similarity between the three areas was carried out using Sørensen equation.
The results indicate that there are significant differences between these areas. Similarity in species composition nonetheless, is the highest among Fayoum & El- Arish areas (70.0%), followed by Fayoum & Kharga Oasis (64.0%). The least similar areas were Al-Arish & Kharga Oasis (57.00%). Al- Arish has the highest number of characteristic species (41 species) forming 42.27% of the total number of the recorded characteristic species, while Fayoum has the least number of characteristic species( 20 species) comprising 20.62% of the total. New Vally has 36 species representing 37.11%. Eleven new-recorded species were collected during this study, one belonging to family Elachistidae “Leucoptera scitella Zeller”; five belonging to family Noctuidae “Acontia hortensis Smith; Clytei syriaca (Bugnion); Agrotis sordzeana Brondt; Nola harouni Wiltshire; Eulocastra diaphora Staudinger”; one belonging to family Pieridae “Colias hyale L.” and four belonging to family Pyralidae “Staudngeria yerburii Bulter; Hypotia colchicalis H.-Sch.; Parastenia daradis (Chretien) and Synaphe marbidalis Guenée”.
