: Kuldja. Specific differences. Near Eupithecia mitigata DIETZE. Externally distinguishable by the basic colour and the obsolete pattern. Differences concerning the male genitalia see in the diagnosis of the genitalia. Remarks. DIETZE (1913) described this form as Eupithecia innotata HUFN. ab. paupera; as a characteristic, he emphasized the blackish (grey) basic colour, the nearly absent pattern, the appearance of the discal spots. He mentioned four male and one female specimens, deriving from the Mts. Iuldus (Hi region) and Kuldja (Ferghana region). He also recorded a "transitional form", tending towards praesignata, captured at the Issyk-Kul. In essence, PROUT (1915) reiterated these observation in the SEITZ work. In my opinion, the specimens described by DIETZE as "ab. paupera" represent a distinct species, however, this name is not "protected" under the Code. Still, when I am now describing this species as new, I retain the "original" name, thereby referring to the circumstance that DIETZE, as far as information and knowledge of his time permitted, still elaborated correctly the material at his disposal.
