Methods. Used standard methods of data collection and analysis of the material. The material for this work were collected by the authors in numerous expeditions, among which should be noted particularly complex expedition of the Institute of applied ecology on the island Nordby, Chechen, seal, Cully. Also take into account the material given in the literature as faunal summaries (Kryzhanovsky, Medvedev, 1960, Baraud, 1968, Grigoryants, 1983, Nikolaev, 1987, Shokhin, 2002, 2007, Shokhin, Abdurakhmanov, Olejnik, 2012, and others), surveys of the fauna of the former USSR (Medvedev, 1949-1964, Kabakov, 2006), Europe (Baraud, 1992, 1993), and numerous taxonomic revisions.
