Description

Phragmataecia castaneae (Hübner, 1790)

(Figs 1, 16)

Material examined. Very long series of adults collected from Western Europe to Central Asia and southwestern Siberia.

Male genitalia and diagnosis. Uncus elongated with pointed apex; gnathos reduced; valva narrow, semilanceolate, broadly rounded distally; juxta somewhat hexagonal with short lateral tubercle like extensions; saccus relatively wide, broadly rounded distally; phallus longer than valva, slender, slightly c-shaped; vesica without cornuti. The species differs from Ph. albida by darker forewings with spotted pattern, longer uncus, broader distal margin of valva, wider and shorter saccus.

Distribution. Wide in Palearctic: from North Africa and Europe, trough Middle East and Central Asia to western China (Yakovlev 2011; Yakovlev et al. 2015a, b; Yakovlev & Witt 2016b).
