ARCHIEARIINAE (BREPHINAE) 1. Leucobrephos mongolicum sp. n. (Fig. 1) Diagnosis. Alar expanse of the single known male specimen 25 mm. Fore wing rather narrow, apex pointed, tornus obtuse. Hind wing wide, projecting, margin angular. Basic colour of fore wing dark grey, basal and median fields with a whitish, marginal field with a brownish irroration. Antemedian broken in an acute angle, broad; postmedian similarly wide, but paler in colour, dentately projecting into terminal field, and backed (terminad) by a yellowish white stripe. Terminal field with a narrow, dark brown band. Basal and median fields of hind wing indistinctly overlapping; dark greyish basic colour with a slight brownish hue darkest in basal field, then dark scales gradually lessening in number, wing there sprinkled yellowish white and fading into slightly greyish but still yellowish white postmedian stripe. Postmedian also multiply arcuate and/or angulate. Terminal field evenly fuscous. Underside of wings with a distinct pattern, dark fuscous, with a yellowish irroration, stripes light yellowish sprinkled with grey. Cilia short, light whitish yellow, with brown or fuscous subterminal lines. Genitalia,^: Stout, strongly sclerotized and rather simple. Uncus large, apically obtuse, slightly curved. Valvae narrow, comparatively short, medially slightly constricted, terminally spatulate. Vinculum wide, obtusely rounded. Anellus bilaterally alate, posteriorad with an obtusely pointed, tail-like appendage. Aedoeagus long, thin, curved or doubly angulate, tapering and rounded (Fig. 1). — Ç : unknown. Bionomics. First stages and foodplaiit unknown. The single known specimen was collected in May. Distribution. The new species was found in Mongolia. — Locus typicus: Aduëin (Chentej aimak). Holotype, rf "Mongolia Chentej aimak Aduëin" "15. V. 1966, leg. A. Bold" "Chentej aimak: Aduëin am 15. V. 1966, leg. A. BOLD" "Gen.prep. No. 10. 577 rf DR. A. VOJNITS Budapest, TTM". Holotype deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Remarks. The new species stands nearest to Leucobrephos ussuriensis MOLTRACHT comb. n. The main distinguishing characters are as follows: the basic colour of L. ussuriensis might be termed brown as a whole, whereas L. mongolicum sp. n. is definitely grey or greyish. The decurrence of the antemedian stripe is different: more sharply broken in L. mongolicum sp. n. In the new species, both, the
