Protomiltogramma jaxartiana ( Rohdendorf, 1927 ) * ( Figs 19–21 ) Material examined. Xinjiang, Altay , Kalamaili— 1 ♂ : 26.VI.2015 , MZ leg.; 23 ♂♂ , 5 ♀♀ : 26‒30.VI.2015 , MZ leg.; 2 ♂♂ : 1.VII.2015 , MZ leg. Distribution. China ( Neimenggu , Xinjiang ). Northwest Asia, Southwest Asia, Central Asia, Mongolia , East Asia . Remarks. Protomiltogramma jaxartiana differs from all congeners by its abdominal pattern of extensive gray microtomentum with tergites 3 and 4 having a distinct median black spot and a broad, black hind margin laterally, and tergite 5 with gray microtomentum in at least anterior half ( Fig. 19 ). The other species of Protomiltogramma Townsend known from China — P. fasciata ( Meigen, 1824 ) , P. yunnanica ( Chao & Zhang, 1988 ) , and P. yunnanensis ( Fan, 1981 ) —as well as those known from Sri Lanka (2 spp.; Verves 1979 ), Thailand (2 spp.; Kurahashi & Chaiwong 2007 ), Malaysia (2 spp.; Kurahashi & Leh 2008 ), New Caledonia ( Johnston et al . 2019 ), and the easternmost Palaearctic ( 1 sp. ; Rohdendorf 1935 ; Kurahashi & Kakinuma 2015 ; Kurahashi et al . 2017 ) have an abdominal pattern without a well-defined median spot (e.g., Zhang et al . 2015 , fig. 15A, F; Verves & Khrokalo 2020b , fig. 12D–E) and they can hardly be confused with P. jaxartiana . We compared the specimens from Kalamaili with a male from Iran ( North Khorasan , Sevaldi, 37°43’07’’N 57°45’44’’E , 21.VI.2016 , Iran Expedition III, deposited in NCUT), and the Kalamaili material presents an overall slightly paler microtomentum on the thorax and a larger distance from the tip of postpedical to the vibrissa. The length of the postpedical is often of considerable diagnostic value in Protomiltogramma , but male terminalia of our material ( Fig. 18 ) showed a close match with those of P. jaxartiana illustrated by Verves (1990: 529 , fig. 8δ) as well as with the terminalia of the male from Iran (K. Szpila leg.) ( Fig. 20 ).
