English Translation of Russian Common Names of Agricultural and Forest Insects and Mites

摘要

The translation, based on a list of Russian names of insects and mites by W. Laux and G. Schmidt and published in 1979, is designed to assist English-speaking entomologists and other biologists in identifying insect species from their Russian vernacular names as listed in Soviet Union journals. The translation consists of three lists: (1) species arranged taxonomically (orders, families, genera, and species); (2) scientific (Latin) binomials (genus and species) arranged alphabetically; and (3) translated common names in alphabetical sequence.
