Dodia kononenkoi
species group
Provisionally established for three species (
Dodia kononenkoi
,
D. transbaikalensis
and
D. sikhotensis
) with almost uniform brownish-gray coloration of wings and body. The male genitalia have broad valves with lobed apical processes. Previously, these taxa were considered to be subspecies of a single species,
D. kononenkoi
Tshistjakov & Lafontaine, 1984
. All species have similar ecological features, inhabiting rocky screes in the upper part of the forest belt and mountain tundra. In the future, more complete molecular genetic data should be used to determine whether these species are monophyletic.
