Genitalia. rf: Uncus flat, wide, conspicuously incised. Valvae wide and unevenly arcuate. Saccus explicitly concave. Aedoeagus cylindrical and comparatively short, at one end conspicuously, clavately thickened ; internally with a thicker chitinous spine and a small chitinous formation of irregular shape. Sternite VIII wide, its arms thick, their length not exceeding half of entire length of sternum (Fig. 18). — 9 : Bursa copulatrix resembling a lemon; anteriorly padded with chitinous spines, posteriorly with only a few chitinous spines. Cervical part elongately sclerotized. Tergite VIII quadratic, both anterior and posterior apophyses rather long and robust. Papillae anales long and heavily chitinized (Fig. 16). Biology — First stages and foodplant unknown. All known specimens have been collected in July and Auguts. Distribution — Discovered in the Far East. Locus typicus: Lazo, Benevskoie, UssuriSpecific differences — As regards external morphology, the new species resembles Eupithecia likiangi VOJNITS, 1976, but its wings are wider and the apex of the fore wing rounded. In E. bohatschi STAUDINGER, 1897, the discal spots are equally conspicuous on both the fore and hind wings, and the location of the white field on the fore wing is different. By the configuration of the genitalia, the new species is easily separated from both of the above species and from several other species of the bohatschi group (VOJNITS 1976).

Remarks — LA female specimen derives from the island Sachalin; its genitalia slightly differ from those collected on the Asiatic mainland yet not to the extent of justifying
