weaker and smaller digitus and weaker sclerotized basal plate at ventral edge of the carina. The distinctive genital characters of the new species, compared with P. leucochlora, are the weaker digitus, the more elongated and thicker clasper, the medially more constricted juxta, the less tubular vesica with longer diverticulum, and the stronger cornutus. The comparison of P. (Jaxartia) zahedana and P. (J.) deserticola is given below in the description of the male genitalia of P. (J.) deserticola. Description - Wingspan 37-38 mm, length of fore wing 17 mm. Male. Head small, eyes large, globular, palpi short, porrect, laterally black, third segment very short, proboscis very short. Antenna widely bipectinate, with rows of long fasciculate cilia on each segment. Pubescence of head and thorax unicolorous, pinkish, mixed with a few blackish hairs in first half of thorax. Fore tibiae with four large, curved claw-like spines and a smaller one nearby them. Fore wing rather short, narrow and triangular with apex acute. Ground colour greenish-ochreous, noctuid pattern pinkish. Antemedial and postmedial crosslines reduced to traces of simple, sinuous lines; subterminal line represented by wedge-shaped darker spots running from costa to middle of wing. 3 Figs 1-3.
