S HUNGARICI Torrms 75. Budapest, 1983 p. 229-246. Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) from Mongolia. Noctuidae Quadrifinae* by L. RONKAY, Budapest Abstract — Present paper contains records of 56 species, with descriptions of two new subs pecies, Drasteria pulverosa intermedia ssp. n. and Anumeta fractistrigata mongolica ssp. n. Further nine species are new to the fauna of Mongolia. With 24 figures and 2 photoplates. The following annotated list consists of data of Noctuidae Quadrifinae collected by DR. Z. KASZAB in Mongolia on his third to sixth expeditions. The material of the first and second expeditions was identified and published by SHELJUZHKO (1967). From the material of the third to sixth expeditions treated already by some specialists, notably DUFAY (1971) and WILTSHIRE (1969a) published new taxa from Mongolia. The greater part of the remaining material was studied by SHELJUZHKO and KOVÁCS in the same years. The list presented here contains data of unpublished material deposited in Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, the species, published in the previous articles were included in this list only if they provided new data. So the list contains 56 species with descriptions of two new subspecies, 9 other species being new to the Mongolian fauna; the genital apparates of some species are illustrated for the first time. The collecting localities with characterisation of illustrated for the first time. The collecting localities with characterisation of the habitats are given by DR. Z. KASZAB (1963-1968). List of spec ies ACONTIINAE Eublemma arcuinna ingrata (HERRICH-SCHÄFFER, 1845) — Cojbalsan aimak: 50 km SO von Cojbalsan. 700 m, 15.

The species occurs from Europe and North Africa to Korea and N-China, with a wid e distribution in Central and East Asia, it has not been reported from Mongolia. The taxonomic rank o f this subspecies is dubious because the species has a large individual variability.

The material from Mongolia is very similar to ssp. decolorata WAGNER, 1913, but uniformly smaller, so it is not impossible that they represent a distinct subspecies.
