Vojnits, A.: Data to the Eupithecia fauna of Asia (Lepidoptera, Geometridae)

Biology — First stages and foodplant unknown. All known specimens have been collected in July. Distribution — Known from Western Pakistan. Locus typicus: Swat, Kalam, 2000 m. Specific differences — Externally, the new species resembles the greyish exemplars of Catarina suboxydata STGR., but differs essentially by the very light hind wings. The configuration of the genitalia is utterly different; those of the males approach Eupithecia exquisita VOJNITS, but this latter differs again externally.
