Eupithecia innotata HUFN. var. parallelaria BOHATSCH PROUT, L. B. Eupithecia, in: SEITZ IV, 1915, p. 294). Eupithecia parallelaria BOHATSCH (PRÔUT, L.

Eupithecia parallelaria BOHATSCH (VHDALEPP, J. : Ént. Obozr., 1978, 57: 755). Diagnosis. See BOHATSCH (1893); also very large-sized specimens occur, with 24-25 mm long fore wings.

: also resembling innotata (Fig. 16). Biology. Larva, pupa and foodplant unknown; description of egg see DRAUDT (1905). Most flight period data are rather early, mainly from April. Distribution. Known since long from Central Asia; PROUT (1939) gives also a wider range, but these data need checking. I have seen a specimen from "Palestine". Remarks. BOHATSCH (1893) described the form as a variety of Eupithecia unedonata MAB., and unequivocally delimited also its geographic range. STAUDINGER named the same form as magnaria (in litt.) ,but as already BOHATSCH pointed out the name was preoccupied by MiLLiÉRE. ALPHÉRAKI (in litt.) found the same form in Kuldja and considered it a variety of E. innotata HUFN. From that time, it was treated as a taxon belonging either to innotata or to unedonata. According to DRAUDT (1905), it is referable to innotata by the sculpture of the eggs; in this he was followed also by DIETZE (1913). PETERSEN (1909) studied the female genitalia and found no difference between the taxa. His opinion was rather peculiar: "Auch die v. parallelaria BOHATSCH ( Ç DIETZE) kann ich weder von unedonata noch von innotata unterscheiden, so dass meiner Meinung nach beide nur als Lokalvarietäten von
