Abstract :We used 140 passive flight interception window traps for survey of alleculines in tugai forests of the Almaty region in Kazakhstan. Traps were set on Fraxinus sogdiana insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bunge, 1854);, Populus diversifolia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Schrenk, 1842);, P. pruinosa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Schrenk, 1845);, and Elaeagnus angustifolia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus, 1753);, which are the main tree species of tugai forests. Two species of alleculines were captured: Mycetochara flavipes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabricius, 1792); and Steneryx dejeani insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Faldermann, 1836);. Mycetochara flavipes significantly prefers areas of the tugai forests with dominancy of Elaeagnus angustifolia. Faunistic data for both species are given. Mycetochara flavipes was recorded as a new species and genus for the territory of Kazakhstan.
