The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0.78% (n=11). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, an unidentified species of Scrobipalpa from Canada (BIN: BOLD:AAG9134), is 5.81%. Distribution. Russia : Cheliabinsk , Orenburg and Volgograd regions ( Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 114 ), Altai (new record), Tuva , Buryatia (new record); Kazakhstan (Povolný 2002: 7); Kyrgyzstan (new record); Mongolia (new record). Remarks. Euscrobipalpa truncata was described from a single male collected in the Alma-Ata Nature Reserve, SE Kazakhstan . Scrobipalpa abstrusa was described from a series of both sexes collected in the Amurskii village of the Cheliabinsk district , Russia . Our examination of the remounted “unrolled” slide of the male genitalia of the holotype of S. truncata ( Figs 92–94 ) justifies its conspecificity with the holotype of S. abstrusa and other specimens from Siberia. Hence, the following synonymy is proposed: Scrobipalpa abstrusa Huemer & Karsholt, 2010 syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa truncata (Povolný, 2002) .
