Abbild., 4 : 568). — The species, rare in Europe and the Caucasus area and more frequent in the Far East (Siberia, Japan, Korea), was first shown from Mongolia by VIIDALEPP (1975). In his opinion, the form eversmanniaria H.-S. occurs in Mongolia. Collection data. — Central aimak: Ulan-Baator, Zaisan im Bogdo ul, 1450-1500 m, 13. VI. 1964 (Nr. 126), 1 of. 6. Schistostege nubilaria HÜBNER, 1799 (Sammlg. Eur. Schmett. Geom., 2: 512). — This species, ranging in East Europe, Southern Russia, the Ural, Kasahstan, Siberia, the Tuva area, the Caucasus and Mongolia, is recorded also in VIIDALEPP'S (1975) paper. The large series deriving from KASZAB'S expeditions permits a microsystematical treatment of the species, to be made in the next future. In the present paper, 1 call attention only to the conspicuous greyish hue of the exemplars collected in Chentej-aimak.

Lithostege mesoleucata PÜNGELER, 1899 (D. ent. Z. Iris, 12: 105). — The species, described from the Hi region, was first shown from Mongolia by VIIDALEPP (1975). According to him, mesoleucata is a characteristic species of the Central Asiatic steppes. VIIDALEPP also published the figure of the male genitalia, now to be supplemented by the female genitalia on the basis of KASZAB'S material (Fig. 2).

Iris, 10: 72). — The fore wings of typical specimens of the subspecies described from the Amur region are light ochreous, the white transverse stripes partially evanescent, the veins especially in the median field covered by dark sclaes. Hind wing definitely greyish. A number of light-coloured exemplars also occur in the Mongolian series, but they are never like the species described hereunder, rather they are worn exemplars.
