A survey of Eupithecia Curtis, 1825 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae) in Mongolia with descriptions of two new species Author Mironov, Vladimir Author Galsworthy, Anthony text Zootaxa 2014 3774 2 101 130 journal article 46297 10.11646/zootaxa.3774.2.1 a4d9996a-80ca-476d-9aab-9a3e42459181 1175-5326 231500 1A4B2949-1948-4C08-9599-D89A904FB51A * Eupithecia bastelbergeri Dietze, 1910 ( Fig. 15 ) Eup[ithecia] bastelbergeri Dietze, 1910 , Biologie der Eupithecien 1 : pl. 73, fig. 360. Syntypes 2♀ (coll. K. Dietze in MNHU; examined), Turkestan [ Kyrgyzstan ]: Naryn; Karagai-tau. E[upithecia] bastelbergeri korvaci Prout, 1938, in Seitz, The Macrolepidoptera of the World, 4 (Suppl.): 188. Syntypes 3♀ (BMNH; examined), [ Turkey ]: Kurdistan, Malatya. A generally small species (but of variable size) in the “ haworthiata ” group. Very small specimens from Kurdistan ( Turkey ) were described as subsp. korvaci Prout, 1938, but similar specimens have also been collected in Turkmenistan . In our opinion, korvaci is not a good subspecies but simply a small form, since normal-sized specimens are also found in Turkmenistan along with very small specimens. E. bastelbergeri flies from mid-June to early August, and perhaps early September. Larvae were found on Clematis orientalis L. ( Ranunculaceae ) in October ( Tajikistan : Degtjareva, 1973 ). It is likely that eggs are laid in the seed-balls of this foodplant because the females have elongate and heavily sclerotized papillae anales. This species occurs in Turkey , Caucasus (Daghestan), Turkmenistan (Kopet-Dagh Mts.), Uzbekistan , S. Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan . A new species for the fauna of Mongolia . The male and female genitalia of this species were first described and illustrated in Viidalepp (1988). Material examined. 1♂ , W. Mongolia , Khovd aimag, Uenchin-Gol Valley, 50 km N of Uench vill., 1500 m , 6.vii.2007 , V.V. Anikin leg., Mironov slide no. 884♂ ( ZISP ).
