Eugahania yanoi Tachikawa, 1956 View in CoL

Eugahania yanoi Tachikawa, 1956: 162 View in CoL . Eugahania mongolica Hoffer, 1970 View in CoL , syn. nov.

Type material examined. Eugahania yanoi : HOLOTYPE: ♀, one fore wing as separate slide, Shikoku , Mt Takanawa, 22.x.1954, T. Yano lgt. ( ELKU).

Distribution. Japan: Shikoku (TACHIKAWA 1956). Mongolia, Russia ( NOYES 2016).

Comments. Eugahania yanoi was treated as a synonym of E. fumipennis by HOFFER (1956) and later TACHIKAWA (1963) accepted this synonymy. SHARKOV (1984) later studied the type of E. yanoi and considered it as a valid species. We agree with Sharkov and after a careful analysis of the original desctiption of E. mongolica we are confident that E. mongolica and E. yanoi are conspecific.
