Vojnits, A. M.: Archieariinae, Rhodometrinae, Geometrinae II, Sterrhinae II and Ennominae III (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) from Mongolia
on the basis of EVEBMANN'S type-specimen preserved in the Leningrad Museum. The paper establishing the occurrence of Itame circumflexaria Ev. in Mongolia (VOJNITS 1974) preceded VIIDALEPP'S list cited above. ad 9. Itame fulvaria (VILLIERS, 1789) (Entom., 2: 329). — The species mentioned under this name in my preceding paper (VOJNITS 1974) is identical with VIIDALEPP'S (1975) I. brunneata (THTJNBERG, 1784). ad 11. Teplirina kaszabi VOJNITS, 1974 (Ann. Hist.-nat. Mus. Nat. Hung., 60: 285287). — The species identified at T. murinaria FARRICIUS, 1775, by VIIDALEPP (1975) assumably represent the species I described in my previous paper (VOJNITS 1974). ad 13. Plagodis pulveraria singularis VOJNITS, 1975 (Ann. Hist.-nat. Mus. Nat. Hung., 67: 184-185). — The populations representing the subspecies, described and discussed in detail in my previous paper (VOJNITS 1975), have been incorrectly assigned by VIIDALEPP (1975) to Anagoga pulveraria violacearia GRAESER, 1888. Also KARDAKOFF (1926), HERZ (1904) and WEHRLI ( 1939-1954) agreed in denying a subspecifie state to violacearia, it being, at most, a "Sommerform". Specimens of a violet hue occur in most localities mixed with "normal" exemplars. The Mongolian ones are, on the other band, different. ad 17. Gonodontis bidentata rava VOJNITS, 1975 (Ann. Hist.-nat. Mus. Nat. Hung., 67: 186-188). — According to my investigations, two subspecies of 67. bidentata CLERCK, 1759, occur in Mongolia. The recently described ssp. rava VOJNITS occurs in the aimaks Bulgan and Chövsgöl, whereas ssp. exsul TSCHETVERIKOV, 1904, ihabits other areas in Mongolia. The occurrence of this latter subspecies was recorded both by VIDALEPP (1975) and me (VOJNITS 1975), and I discussed in detail the systematical position of ssp. raw VOJNITS in the same paper. ad 21. Megametopon piperatum ALPHÉRAKY, 1892 (Rom. Mém. Lep., VI: 58-60).— VIIDALEPP (1975) published the species as new to the fauna of Mongolia; ha also gave a description and figure of the genitalia. The paper reporting the elaboration of the material deriving from KASZAB'S expeditions preceded it (VOJNITS 1975). The two communications, well complement each other, since the latter paper gave a detailed description of the external morphology of the species. ad 22. Spartopteryx kind er ma tin aria (STAUDINGER, 1871) (Cat. Lep. Euro., II: 163).— The species was published in VIIDALEPP'S (1975) work as/S. kindermannaria (EVERSMANN, 1881), probably an oversight. ad 23. Synopsia strictaria (LEDERER, 1853) (Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges Wien, 3: 378). — VIIDALEPP (1975) assigned the species to the genus Megaludnia WEHRLI. In my opinion (VOJNITS 1975), it is more correctly relegable to Synopsia HBN., in agreement with WEHRLI (1941). ad 25. Pleogynopteryx bituminaria LEDERER, 1853 (Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, 3r PI. 6, Fig. 1). — VIIDALEPP (1975) assigned the species to the genus Cleora CURT., and also mentioned amurensis WEHRLI, 1929, described from the Amur region. However, this name is not available, but superseded by raddensis WEHRLI ( = amurensis W T EHRLI, nom. praeocc). ad 26. Alcis maculata STAUDINGER, 1892 (D. ent. Z. Iris, 5: 377-378). — VIIDALEPP (1975) published the species as new to the fauna of Mongolia, but the paper containing a part of KASZAB'S material from Mongolia preceded it (VOJNITS 1975). ad 27. Boarmia roboraria isabellaria STAUDINGER, 1871 (Cat. Lep. Eur., III: 341). — VIIDALEPP (1975) recorded the Mongolian occurence of both S. roboraria DENIS et SCHIFFERMÜLLER, 1775, and isabellaria STGR. In the material I studied, only the latter taxon occurred (VOJNITS 1975). ad 29. Arichanna melanaria praeolivana WEHRLI, 1939 (InSEiTZ,A.:DieGross-Schmetterlinge der Erde, Spanner, 1934-1954, Supplement ad IV. : 256). — VIIDALEPP (1975) published the species as new to the fauna of Mongolia, but the paper dealing with the material of KASZAB'S expeditions preceded it (VOJNITS 1975). The former author listed four supposed "forms" from eastern localities: decolorata STAUDINGER, 1882; askoldinaria OBERTHÜR, 1880; hanseni HEDEMANN, 1881, and praeolivana WEHRLI, 1939. ad 31. Cabera pusaria LINNÉ, 1758 (Syst. Nat. X.,p. 522). —VIIDALEPP (1975) published data of the species as new to Mongolia, but the paper seriately dealing with the material deriving from KASZAB'S expeditions preceded it (VOJNITS 1975).
