Abstract
The paper presents data of ecological Lepidoptera groups in the nests of the sand martin (Riparia riparia (Linnaeus, 1758)) on the Saratov region territory. The material was collected in R. riparia colonies within five districts of the Saratov region in different 2019–2021 seasons. Three clusters were identified for 13 Lepidoptera species belonging to 10 families during our statistical data analysis. One cluster covers typical inhabitants of burrows and is represented by a single species, Infurcitinea rumelicella (Rebel, 1903). Atypical species comprise the remaining two clusters. All the presented species, namely: Acompsia cinerella (Clerck, 1759), Niditinea fuscella (Linnaeus, 1758), Brachmia dimidiella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Epermenia ochreomaculella (Milliére, 1854), Caloptilia fidella (Reutti, 1853), Laodamia faecella (Zeller, 1839), Polypogon tentacularia (Linnaeus, 1758), Borkhausenia fuscescens (Haworth, 1828), Acleris forsskaleana (Linnaeus, 1758), Cochylidia implicitana (Wocke, 1856), Loxostege sticticalis (Linnaeus, 1758) are not typical for the nests of the sand martin. Our conducted observations of the species composition showed its being extremely poor relative to representatives of the nest-dwelling fauna, which is associated with the nest inaccessibility of burrowing birds, which R. riparia belongs too.
