( Figs. 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 4 , 5 View FIGURES 5 – 7 )
Catocala toropovi Saldaitis, Kons & Borth, 2014 , Zootaxa 3866 (4): 544, figs 1, 2, 7, 8, 12-26, 41, 44, 47, 50, 54 (Type locality:
“ Kazakhstan, Ili river, Barakhudzir”).
Material examined: in addition to the 24 specimens in the type series (see Saldaitis et al. 2014), we examined the following specimens: 2 females ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ), 8.VIII.2007, China, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 29 tuan [county], Korla city, Jiangping Zhang leg. (in the collections of Anton Volynkin [Barnaul, Russia] and Shihezi University, Shihezi, Xinjiang, China); 1 male, Kazakhstan SE, Bakanas vill., Ili riv. env., 15-20.VIII. [19]94, leg. [A.] Saldaitis (in the collection of Katsumi Ishizuka, Saitama, Japan).
Diagnosis of female. Detailed comparisons of males of C. toropovi to C. repudiata ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ) and C. optima ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ) are presented in Saldaitis et al. (2014). In C. toropovi , there appears to be no obvious sexual differences in the forewing ground color, which varies from pale ochreous brown to dark brown ( Figs. 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ). In the female genitalia, C. toropovi has a round postvaginal plate ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ), which in C. repudiata is rectangular with a slightly wavy posterior margin ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ), and in C. optima is rectangular with a concave posterior margin ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ). In addition, in C. toropovi the ostium appears broader than in C. repudiata and C. optima ; the ductus bursae is longer and somewhat broader; and the 7th abdominal tergite is somewhat narrower than in C. repudiata and C. optima , and has rounded rather than pointed posterior edges ( Figs. 5-7 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ).
Description of female genitalia ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ). Papillae anales long and narrow. Apophyses anteriores and posteriors long and narrow; apophyses anteriores shorter than posteriores. Postvaginal plate broad and round; antevaginal plate (7th abdominal sternite) broad, conical, with deep and narrow concavity. Ostium bursae long, narrow, strongly sclerotized, dorso-ventrally flattened. Ductus bursae moderately long, narrow, strongly sclerotized, dorso-ventrally flattened, its anterior end connected with corpus bursae and membranous and narrow. Corpus bursae membranous, its posterior section ovate, anterior section globular; appendix bursae small, conical, postero-laterally positioned.
Distribution. C. toropovi is distributed in the Tien Shan mountain massif and its spurs. At present, it is known from the northern Tien Shan region in South-East Kazakhstan (Ili and Charyn rivers) and the southwestern Tien Shan region in Xinjiang (vicinity of Korla city).
