Taxonomic notes. A variable species with narrow and acute forewings, often faint markings, with tiny and narrow orbicular spot, and broad light greyish submarginal line (especially in males) and with a rather characteristic diffuse, whitish-ochreous longitudinal “wash” on the forewings (Plate 3, Figs. 15–16).
In the male genitalia uncus with strongly expressed bilateral hook, very long bilateral lobes of the tegumen, high, extended and convex costal extension of valva and with regular, diamond-shaped juxta (Plate 7, Fig. 36 a,b). In female genitalia with deep V-shaped incision of the antrum with strongly sclerotised “arms” (Plate 11, Fig. 53).
Biological notes. This species was previously known only from the western part of the Hindukush Mts (Koh-i- Baba). Its habitat is a typical high mountain semi-desert with thorny cushion vegetation (Eva Vartian, pers. comm.).
