Description
Sophronia chilonella (Treitschke, 1833)
Figs 7–9
Material examined.
Russia, Altai Republic, Ulagan vill., Chulyshman valley, 51°01'03"N, 88°00'39"E, grassy steppe, rocks, 600 m, 4.–5.vii.2019, 1 ♂, (gen. prep. JŠ 24054), J. Šumpich leg. (NMPC).
Molecular data.
BIN: BOLD: AAJ 3742. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0.48 % (p-dist) (n = 7). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbor, an unidentified Sophronia species collected in Bulgaria (BOLD: ADF 5021), is 6.42 % (p-dist).
Distribution.
Palearctic region (from Spain to the Far East) (Elsner et al. 1999). This species has been recorded in most of the European regions of Russia; records from Russia’s Asian regions are restricted to the Altai Mts (this paper), Krasnoyarsk, Chabarovsky kray and Primorsky kray (Ponomarenko 2019).
Remark.
The wingspan of typical European specimens of S. chilonella is around 12 mm, while the Altai specimen is significantly larger (15 mm). However, its genitalia fully correspond to those of European specimens.
