A new subspecies of Bryopolia tsvetaevi Varga et Ronkay from the Hissar Mountains Z. Varga and P. Gyulai A new subspecies of Bryopolia tsvetaevi Varga et Ronkay from the Hissar Mountains - Description of Bryopolia tsvetaevi hissaricola ssp. n. from the Hissar Mts in Tadjikistan. With 12 figures. INTRODUCTION In the second part of the series of descriptions of new taxa from the Central Asiatic countries of the former Soviet Union we describe a subspecies of Bryopolia tsvetaevi Varga et Ronkay, 1990 which was not included into our former revision of this genus due to lack of a sufficient material. Bryopolia tsvetaevi hissaricola ssp. n. Holotype: male, Tadjikistan, "Gissar" (=Hissar) Mts, Anzob pass, 3400 m, 25.07.1994., leg. Lukhtanov (coll. P. Gyulai, Miskolc). Paratypes: 5 males and 14 females with the same data as the holotype (coll. P. Gyulai, Miskolc), 1 male and 1 female dto. (coll. HNHM), 1 male and 1 female dto. (coll. G. Ronkay, Budapest), 1 male and 2 females dto. (coll. Z. Varga, ZIUD) and further 2 males and 3 females enumerated in the original description of B. tsvetaevi Varga & Ronkay from the following locality: "Tadzhikistan, Dushanbe-Zidi, Hissarski hrebet, 2900-3300 m, Anzob pass, 05.07.1982, leg. Cerny" (coll. Peks, Schwanfeld, Germany). The subspecific relegation of the specimens, enumerated in the original description (see: Varga et al. 1990) from Uzbekistan and Kirghisia, needs further revision. Slides: males 3389, 3390, 6949 (Varga), 654 (Gyulai), female 6950 (Varga). Etymology: inhabiting the Hissar Mts. Diagnosis. Slightly larger, markings more irrorate than the nominate subspecies. Male genitalia: uncus broader, more lyriform; female genitalia: ductus bursae and apex bursae more sclerotized and rugulose, on sternites VIII protuberance larger. Description: Slightly larger in average than the nominotypic subspecies. Length of forewings: 19 mm (holotype), 18-20 mm (paratype males), 19.5-21 mm (paratype females). Wingspan: 32 mm (holotype male), 28-33 mm (paratype males), 32-36.5 (paratype females). Antennae shortly bipectinate and ciliate (males) or filiform (females). Head and thorax dark grey with finely dispersed silvery and ochraceous hairs. Abdomen dull ochraceous grey with whitish-ochraceous tuft. Forewings ochraceous, densely
