Description

Ancylosis rhodochrella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1852)

Figs 58, 65

Myelois rhodochrella Herrich-Schäffer, 1852 — Systematische Bearbeitung der Schmetterlinge von Europa, pl. 21, fig. 151 (vol. 4, 1852), p. 147 (vol. 6, 1855). TL: Amasia, Turkey.

Type material examined. Holotype of rhodochrella: ♀, “ Amasia, coll Lederer” | “GP 1791 FS 2017” [František Slamka] (MfN).

Additional material examined. Spain: 1 ♀, Mardin (SMNK). Russia: 8 ♂, 1 ♀, Orenburg reg., Akbulak distr., Pokrovka vill., 16.vi.2019; 1 ♂, Volgograd reg., Kletsk distr., Savushkin 3 km W, 2.vi.2016 (all ET). Georgia: 1 ♂, Caucasus Tiflis E. Koenig; 1 ♀, Eldar, po Iop Sitnah. u., Tifl. g. Mlokospv. 25.v.96; 1 ♀, Eldar, coll. Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich; 1 ex (abdomen missing), Nasar lebi, coll. Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich. Turkey: 1 ♀, Pont, coll. Wocke; 2 ♂, 1 ♀, Pontus; 1 ♂, Pont, coll. Erschov (all ZIN); 1 ♀, Asia minor, Tuz Gölli, Nordufer, 20.vii.1970 (Friedel) (gen. slide 94/19, O. Bidzilya) (SMNK).

Remarks. Myelois rhodochrella was described based on single female from Amasia (Turkey). Two specimens (male and female) from Amasia bear the labels “coll. Lederer” (coll. MfN), but they are not designated as “types”. We suggest a holotype is a female in accordance to Herrich-Schäffer’s description. The Roesler’s designation (1973: 424) a male from Lambese [Algeria] as type of M. rhodochrella is incorrect. The species was recently re-diagnosed and the genitalia of both sexes were illustrated (Bidzilya et al. 2019: 451, figs 22, 31a, 32b, 45, 71).

Distribution. The species is known with certainty from Spain, Algeria, Russia (Volgograd and Orenburg regions), Georgia (first record), Turkey and Iran (Roesler 1973).
