The article analyzes the dynamics of gypsy moth distribution and abundance for the peri- od from 1963 to 2017. The quantitative estimates of the correlation between the changes in hydrothermal conditions and the development of the outbreaks of gypsy moths popula- tion boom are given. We have determined the climate-related preconditions for range ex- pansion of this pest of coniferous and deciduous trees in Buryatia, and established its lim- its. Until recently, the northern border of gypsy moth distribution in Buryatia approxi- mately was 520 northern latitudes. It has been noted that at the present moment (2017), the dispersion of gypsy moth to the north, up to the Barguzin depression is observed.
