Staudingeria brunneonervella was described from six males collected on 3 and 6.viii. 1965 in two localities in SE Mongolia (Suchebaator aimak). The studied specimens from type series are indistinguishable both externally and in the male genitalia ( Figs 74–77 ) from Ancylosis albicosta (Staudinger, 1870) . Type specimens of the latter have been examined recently ( Bidzilya et al . 2019 ). Hence, the following synonymy is proposed: Ancylosis brunneonervella Roesler, 1970 syn. nov. of Ancylosis albicosta (Staudinger, 1870) . Distribution . Libya , Romania , Ukraine , Russia (Middle and Lower Volga, S Urals), Kazakhstan , Turkey , Turkmenistan , Iran , Afghanistan ( Roesler 1973 ; Speidel 1996 ; Bidzilya et al . 2019 ; Sinev et al . 2019 ), Mongolia ( Roesler 1970 (as Staudingeria brunneonervella )).
