Vojnits, A.: A revision of the "Eupithecia innotata group", I. (Lepidoptera, Geometridae)

Biology. First stages and foodplant unknown. Flight period also unrecorded. Distribution. Occurring in Central Asia. — Locus tyoicus : Iuldus, Hi. Specific differences. Compared with the other species of the group, the new species is chiefly characterized by the relatively short wing, the iron grey basic colour and the very marked and conspicuous pattern. Remarks. The specimen had been labelled as "fulgurata" by DIETZE, but, as far as I know, this name was never published. Holotype Ç: "Forma: fulgurata, corroborata. Form Juldus, Hi" "Zool. Mus.Berlin" "gen. prep. No. DR. A. VOJNITS NO. 13544 9"-—Holotype preserved in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität, Berlin. Slide: No. 13544 (9), gen. prep. A. VOJNITS. Eupithecia inexplicabilis sp. n. (Derivation of specific name: inexplacabilis = inexplicable) Eupithecia innotata HUFN. concoloris DIETZE in litt. Diagnosis. Fore wing length of the single known female specimen 12 mm. Fore wing considerably elongated, hind wing extraordinarily short. Basic colour yellowish brown, that of hind wing quite light. Discal spots—narrow and elongate on fore wing, bacilliform on hind wing—well discernible if not marked. Transverse stripes obsolescent. Underside of wings yellowish brown, pattern elements obsolescent. Cilia medium long, yellowish brown. Genitalia. 9 : Entire rotund bursa copulatrix padded with minute and very desely arranged chitinous spines. Both anterior and posterior apophyses short. Papillae anales oval (Fig. 7); rf unknown. Biology. First stages and foodplant unknown. Flight period of imagos unrecorded. Distribution. Occurring in Central Asia. — Locus typicus : Issyk-Kul. Specific differences. Configuration of bursa copulatrix unequivocally different from that of all related species. Remarks. The name "concoloris" written in DIETZE'S fist on the label has never been published according to my informations. The name itself must have originated in two phases: originally it must have been "concolor"

, then, assumably to distinguish it from an earlier denomination (Eupithecia satyrata HÜBNER forma concolor DIETZE, 1913 = juldusi BANG —

HAAS in litt.: Biologie d. Eupithecien, p. 85), the suffix "is" must later had been added. Holotype 9

Eupithecia costisignata DIETZE ab. privata DIETZE, 1913 (Biologie d. Eupithecien, 1913, p. 137, P1.75, Fig. 545). Eupithecia costisignata DIETZE (?spec?) privata DIETZE (PROUT, in: SEITZ, 1915, IV., p. 294). Eupithecia costisignata DIETZE (?) privata DIETZE (PROUT, L.

A taxon rather laconically treated in previous publications (DIETZE 1913; PROUT 1915, 1939). The meagre and obsolete pattern of the wings is characteristic. Fore wing fuscous. Ante- and postmedian more or less straight, evanescent towards costa. No discal spot present. Hind wing paler, with a yellowish sheen, transverse stripes discernible only near upper margin. Underside of wings uniform and pale yellowish brown, patternless, hind wing lighter; fore wing with an elongate discal spot. Cilia long, darker on fore wing, a lighter yellowish brown on hind wing. Genitalia. 9 : Bursa copulatrix slightly elongate, irregular in form. Anterior part padded with rather densely arranged minute chitinous spines, posterior half with a small, discrete chitinous
