Figs 11-13. Female genitalia of Leucochlaena species. 11 = L. fallax reticularis ssp. n., paratype, Turkey, 12 = L. fallax fallax, Sarepta, 13 =L. hoerhammeri, Turkey Underside of forewing brownish, lighter and brighter in female. Stigmata and crosslines represented by light shadows. Hindwings greyish-brown (males) or bright, pale yellow­ish with fine greyish-brown scales (females). Discal spot pale but present (males) or ab­sent (females), shadows of crossline and marginal suffusion often visible; cilia as on upper side. Male genitalia (Figs 6-9): uncus short, relatively broad, tegumen low, wide, penicu­lar lobes well-developed. Fultura inferior subdeltoidal with high apical plate, vinculum strong, U-shaped. Valvae elongated, narrow with almost parallel margins, cucullus short with apex rounded; corona long, weak. Sacculus short, wide, clavus a rounded, setose plate. Harpe strong, basal bar long, narrow, apical part characteristically deeply bifurcate with arms more or less equal. Aedeagus short, cylindrical, curved, vesica short, semiglo­bular, with a subapical cornuti field consisting of short, strong spines. Female genitalia (Fig. 11): ovipositor short, weak, rather broad, gonapophyses very short. Ostium bursae a narrow, sclerotized ribbon, ductus bursae short, broad, flattened and strongly sclerotized. Cervix bursae small, membranous, finely wrinkled. Corpus bur­sae sacculiform, caudally tapering, with a gelatinous lateral part, fundus weakly mem­branous, globular; without signa. Specific differences. The new subspecies of L. fallax (Staudinger, 1870) is sympa­tic with L. hoerhammeri (Wagner, 1931) therefore the former view about their allopatric
