4. Discussion

In total, based on published and new data, 53 species of Gyrophaenina are known from Far Eastern Russia (see Table 1): Agaricochara (one species), Encephalus (one species), Gyrophaena (49 species in two subgenera) and Sternotropa (two species). Gyrophaena (s.str.) bihamata , G. (s.str.) fasciata , G. (s.str.) nana and G. (s.str.) taiwaspinosa were recorded by different authors, and some these records need to be confirmed in the future.

The sectoral distribution of Gyrophaenina found in Far Eastern Russia is quite diverse ( Table 1). At the present level of study, their distributional ranges can be organized into three groups.

a) About a quarter of the species are widely distributed in the Palaearctic (15 species) or even Holarctic (two species) regions. Two more species ( G. (s.str.) pseudonitidula and G. (s.str.) gonggamontis ) are widely distributed in the eastern Palaearctic region. Species of this group are known from many localities east of Baikal Lake, and half of them ( Figs 273 , 294 , 300 , 305, 306, 311 ) reach only to downstream of Amur River. Only four species of this complex have been found in the Kuril islands.

b) Considerably better (almost two thirds of the species recorded) are the complex of species, distributional ranges of which are limited to East Asia. Twenty two species were found in Lower Amur region and Maritime Province, most of them (except G. (s.str.) frolovi sp. nov., G. (s.str.) fusicornis , G. (s.str.) kerzhneri sp. nov., G. (s.str.) melanoceta sp. nov., G. (s.str.) plutenkoi , and G. (s.str.) rebrievi sp. nov.) are known from adjacent territories: China, Korean Peninsula, Japanese Archipelago and Taiwan. Most species of this group (25 of 33) are found in the Kuril Islands.

c) Finally, almost a third (14) of the species found in the Kuril Islands were not recorded for the Maritime Province, although two are known from Taiwan ( G. (s.str.) deprehendens , G. (s.str.) taiwanova ), and G. (s.str.) torta from China.

It is obvious that the fauna of Gyrophaenina of the Kuril Islands is significantly different from that of the mainland. First of all, it is surprisingly rich: more than half of the species (30 of 53) recorded from Far Eastern Russia were found in the Kuril Islands. Besides that, the subtribe in the Kuril Islands is represented by three genera, two of which are not yet recorded from the Maritime Province. Second, there is a very small proportion between species of Gyrophaenina of the Kuril Islands: only 10%, while the widespread species in the continental fauna make up almost half.

The richness of the fauna of Gyrophaenina of Kunashir is even more noticeable in comparison with the fauna of adjacent countries. If we consider the degree of the study of Gyrophaenina of adjacent countries based on published ( Hashizume 2022, Hashizume et al. 2023, Kim & Ahn 2014a, 2015 b, Schülke & Smetana 2015, Newton 2022) and new data, 28 species in four genera are known from Japan ( Agaricochara (one species), Brachida Mulsant et Rey, 1871 (two species), Gyrophaena (23 species) and Pseudoligota Cameron, 1920 (two species)), 35 species from North and South Korea ( Agaricomorpha Ashe, 1984 (one species), Brachida Mulsant & Rey, 1871 (three species), Gyrophaena (30 species) and Phanerota Casey, 1906 (one species)), 15 species of Gyrophaena from north-eastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Beijing provinces), and only two species of Gyrophaena from Mongolia. In comparison, one species of Encephalus and 25 species of Gyrophaena were recorded from eastern and western Siberia ( Schülke & Smetana 2015).

Thus, the fauna of Gyrophaenina of relatively small (1490 km 2) Kunashir Island (3 genera and 30 species) is comparable in diversity with that of much larger regions: the Japanese Archipelago and Korean Peninsula. The reason for this diversity is logically analyzed based on our data to avoid errors associated with uneven knowledge of the faunas. Two assumptions are most obvious and should be tested first: the diversity and availability of the food, and the influence of critical climatic factors: temperature and humidity.

Adults and larvae of Gyrophaenina can be found mostly in polypores or persistent gilled mushrooms. In the present study, bionomical data about association with specific mushrooms were recorded only for 29 species of Gyrophaena . Agaricochara verrucosa sp. nov., G. (s.str.) ainuorum sp. n ov. and G. (s.str.) volkeri sp. nov. were collected by window traps.The bionomical data for other species are unknown. The mycobiota of Kunashir ( Bulakh & Bukharova 2018) is quite diverse: there are 105 species of Polyporales and 254 species of Agaricales . In the protected areas of the Far East are found 69 to 299 species of Polyporales , and the variety of Agaricales reaches 673 species ( Bulakh & Erofeeva 2021, Bukharova et al. 2023, Bukharova & Erofeeva 2014, Bukharova & Zmitrovich 2014, Bukharova & Kochunova 2022, Erofeeva et al. 2022, Erofeeva 2021, Kochunova & Erofeeva 2022). Thus, the diversity of Gyrophaenina is not explained by the variety of food substrates.

Climatic characteristics of latitudinal sectors from Baikal to the Kuril Archipelago are summarized in Table 2. The correlation analysis (non-parametric coefficients of Spearman Rs and Kendall Tau) showed a strong 0.97468 and 0.94868, respectively) and significant (p<=0.033) relationship of number of Gyrophaenina found with only one parameter: amount of precipitation. Indeed, Kunashir (Yuzhno-Kurilsk weather station) has an average annual rainfall of 1274 mm (from 910 to 1817 mm) over last 77 years. In Maritime Province, the average annual rainfall is one and a half times less and ranges from 832 to 881 mm (data on http://thermograph.ru/ and http://www. pogodaiklimat.ru/history).

This, on the one hand, is the expected dependency—the small size of the bodies of species of Gyrophaenina increases the risk of moisture loss. On the other hand, we do not assume that humidity is the only relevant factor. But in each of the width sectors of the region we are comparing, the extent of the remaining climatic parameters practically equalizes the intersectoral differences and humidity comes to the fore ( Fig. 342 ).

Due to the proximity of the Soya Current, Kunashir is the most heat-provided island of the Kuril Archipelago ( Razjigaeva et al. 2011). This feature is combined with a highly uneven distribution of heat and precipitation over areas of the island. The main reason for this is the conditioning effect relative to the warm Sea of Okhotsk (west coast of the island) and the cool Pacific Ocean (east coast). As a result, the west and east coasts differ greatly in the number of sunny days, the amount of precipitation and therefore the temperature regime. The influence of the Pacific Ocean also affects the high-altitude zones: on the eastern slopes of the mountains, the vegetation belt boundary is 50-150 metres lower (Kolomyts 2018). Climate variability is exacerbated by localized volcanic activity, primarily by the distribution of thermal and solfatary fields.

As a result, the fauna of beetles varies markedly between different parts of the island ( Sundukov & Makarov 2019, Ryndevich et al. 2021) including the presence of local endemics ( Kurbatov 1992; Pütz & Wiesner 1995; Makarov & Sundukov 2014, 2021).

Currently, findings of many species of Gyrophaenina on the island are still isolated, which limits the discussion. Nevertheless, it is possible to formulate in advance the most general features of the distribution of this group. First, like most beetles, Gyrophaeinina are more diverse in the southern part of the island: 26 species were collected south of the Kuril isthmus, and 19 to the north of it. The second aspect was less expected: in the northern part of the island, most species are found on the Pacific coast (12 of 19), but in the southern part on the coast of Sea of Okhotsk (25 of 26). It is however interesting that the forest on the coast of Sea of Okhotsk is significantly more diverse in floristic composition both in the northern and southern parts of Kunashir Island (Barkalov & Eremchenko 2003).
