(Photos by Evgeny Koshkin). Diagnosis. It differs from the nominate subspecies by smaller size, lighter wing coloration, and poorly developed processes on the apex of the valva, which are smoothed and blunted ( Tshistjakov 1988 ). Distribution. Russia : Polar Urals, Taimyr ( Dubatolov 2010 ), Northern Yakutia (lower reaches of the Lena and Olenek Rivers) ( Tshistjakov 1988 ). Notes. The taxonomic status of Dodia albertae eudiopta needs to be clarified using of molecular genetic data. As some authors rightly point out ( Schmidt & Macaulay 2009 ; Šumpich et al . 2020 ), the size and coloration of the wings, as well as the shape of the apical part of the valva, vary greatly among specimens from populations in different regions of Siberia, the Far East, and North America ( Fig. 5D ).
