Abstract/Summary
|
-
Scotopteryx kuznetzovi (Wardikian, 1957), a rare and habitually remarkable Larentiine species described from
Armenia, is recorded for the first time from Iran and Turkey. Males from both countries are illustrated, the females being still unknown. A redescription is given and diagnostic characters are presented. External features and genitalia are mainly compared with those of S. vicinaria hyrcanaria (Staudinger, 1892), described from northern Iran, and other taxa of the vicinaria species group which all have genitalia very similar to
S. kuznetzovi. The taxonomic position of the lat-
ter is briefly discussed.
