( Figs. 9 – 11, 12 , 19 ) Material examined . Holotype : male, China , Aut. Reg. Xizang , Linzhi 80 km to Motuo 24.viii.2011 ( Z.H. Pan ) . Paratypes : 2 females with same label, genit. prep. HHL-2449-2; 1 male , China , Aut. Reg. Xizang , Hanmi-Motuo , 2100m , 18 – 27.viii.2005 (Huang, Zhou, Tang), genit. prep. HHL-1056-1 . Diagnosis. The species can be easily recognized by the characteristic wing pattern with brown with and green antemedial field, distinct white antemedial line, and distinct orbicular; dark-brown outer part of medial field and characteristic shape of subterminal line, which is angled by straight angle in costal and medial parts. No species of the Noctuidae of Chinese-Himalayan fauna is similar to X. mysterica . FIGURES 1–8. Imagines. 1. Anacronicta caliginea , female, Russia, Primorye; 2. A. nitida , male, Japan; 3.
