discal spot strong, dark grey. - Male genitalia (Figs 30-31): uncus strong, flattened, with large lateral lobes ("sailed uncus"), tegumen low, broad, penicular lobes small, rounded. Fultura inferior a cordiform plate with double-peaked apical part, vinculum very short. Valva strong, distal part tapering but relatively broad, cucullus slightly upturned. Sacculus large, rounded, sclerotized, pulvillus a small, rounded, setose protuberance. Harpe strong, proximal part regularly curved, distal part narrow, flattened, apex slightly dilated and rounded. Aedeagus narrow cylindrical, medially slightly curved, carina with granuloscly sclerotized bars. Vesica simple, tubular, membranous, recurved dorsally at proximal third. Diagnosis. The two species of the gansoni-mimetica line resemble sacelli in their small, blackish orbicular stigma without larger outer annulus and the rather short, narrow forewings, but regularly easily separable by the lack of the sharp black streak of submedian fold fused regularly with orbicular stigma in sacelli. One of the paratypes of mimetica has the black streak as long and strong as the typical specimens of sacelli, therefore a study of the genitalia (e.g. the uncus!) is necessary for correct identification. The synapomorphy of this line is the characteristic, broad, flattened uncus bearing rounded lateral lobes ("sailed uncus"), this feature can be recognized without dissecting the specimens but only brushing the hairs and scales of the caudal edge of the last tergite. The specific differences of the siblings of this line are given under D. (C.) mimetica. Distribution. The species is known from the type locality only. Remarks. The species is dedicated to Mr. V. A. GANSON. Figs 26-29. Male genitalia of Dasypolia (Cteïpolia) mimetica sp. n., Kazakhstan, Issyk, 26-27 = holotype, slide No. 4901 RONKAY, 28-29 = paratype, slide No. 4902 RONKAY
