The genitalia of the Armenian specimens figured by Vardikian (1970: 68; 1971: 45; 1985: 45, 99) seem to be identical with the new species. Dissected specimens from the Taurus Mts (S Turkey) and from Cyprus clearly belong to Idaea textaria (locus typicus: Antiochia, S Turkey). Idaea laszloi sp. n. has to be inserted in the system of Sterneck (1940) into the 12th group after Idaea textaria. Etymology — The species is dedicated to Gy. M. László, Budapest, a specialist of Palaearctic Geometridae. Brachyglossina chaspia turkmenica Viidalepp, 1992, comb. n. Material examined — 21 males and females; 400-1600 m; M4-B5, Chuli, Firyuza, Ipay-Kala. Hereto the taxa B. turkmenica Viidalepp, 1992, talvei Viidalepp, 1988 and vartianae Wiltshire, 1966, have always been combined with the genus Idaea Treitschke, 1825. Nevertheless, the genitalia of both sexes, the external morphology (e.g. the reduced proboscis), wing colour and pattern are very similar to Brachyglossina chaspia Brandt, 1938. Therefore these taxa are transferred to Brachyglossina and downgraded as a subspecies of Brachyglossina chaspia: Brachyglossina chaspia vartianae Wiltshire, 1966, comb, n., stat. n.; Brachyglossina chaspia talvei Viidalepp, 1988, comb, n., stat. n., Brachyglossina chaspia turkmenica Viidalepp, 1992, comb. n. Brachyglossina chaspia talvei and vartianae seem to be very closely related to each other, since the male genital apparatuses are identical. B. c. turkmenica differs from both by the bright orange wing colour, which is more whitish of talvei and vartianae. The aedeagus of B. c. turkmenica has four cornuti, only exceptionally three. B. c. vartianae and B. c. talvei have only two cornuti in the aedeagus. There is no further remarkable differences in male genitalia. One couple of Brachyglossina chaspia from the original material of Brandt has been also examined: the wing pattern, which is much vaguer in the nominate subspecies, seem to be the only constant differential feature to B. c. turkmenica. Aedeagus with three cornuti. There is no constant difference in the female genitalia features. Further studies on more extensive material are necessary to verify the variability of the nominate subspecies. Pseudocinglis eurata (Prout, 1913) (Figs 2, 7-8) Material examined — Firyuza (9 males and females; 400-800 m; E6; B-E8) Hitherto only the holotype (d) was known (deposited in the "Zoological Museum of Humboldt University, Berlin". Its morphology has been extensively discussed by Hausmann (1994: 206f). The diagnosis completed as follows: habitus - wing colour white while in Pseudocinglis benigna Brandt, 1941 sandy coloured). Forewing with three distinct costal spots (in P. benigna vague), marginal area of female forewings brighter than in the female of P. benigna. On the Turkmenian specimens the black spot of the arttemedian line at the inner margin of the forewing is absent (in P. b. nigromaculata Hausmann, 1994 distinct). The underside of wings white, lustrous; median shadow, postmedian line, marginal area and costal spots strongly marked, veins darker. The underside of wings in P. benigna and its subspecies sandy coloured, slightly lustrous, pattern weakly contrasted only.
