Eupithecia uliata Staudinger 1897

Description

Eupithecia uliata Staudinger, 1897

Eupithecia uliata Staudinger, 1897, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitung, Iris (1896) 9 (2): 281. Lectotype ♀ (designated by Mironov et al., 2011; coll. O. Staudinger in MNHU, examined), [Mongolia]: Uliassutai [= Uliastay or Javhlant].

Eupithecia recens Dietze, 1904, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitung, Iris [1903] 16 (2): 349, taf. 3, fig. 26. Syntype (s) 3 (coll. K. Dietze in MNHU, examined), Central Asia [China]: Kuku-Noor (near lake); [Russia]: Sidimi (synonymised in Mironov & Galsworthy, 2013).

Eup[ithecia] recens var. creta Dietze, 1908, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitung, Iris 21 (2): 172, taf. 2, fig. 29. Syntype (s) ♂ (coll. K. Dietze in MNHU, examined), [Central Asia].

Eupithecia extrinseca Vojnits & de Laever, 1978, Acta zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 24 (1–2): 247, fig. 24. Holotype ♀ (ZFMK, examined), [China]: South Shensi, Tapaishan in Tsinling, 3000 m (synonymised in Mironov & Galsworthy, 2013).

Misidentification: Eupithecia repentina: sensu Mironov, 1990 (for Mongolia) (nec Vojnits & de Laever, 1978).

This species has long been known as E. recens Dietze. The male and female genitalia of this species were described and illustrated by de Laever (1960) under this name. However a study by the authors of the worn type specimen of E. uliata and its genitalia in the collection of MNHU, Berlin (Fig. 18) reveals that it belongs to the same species. The name E. uliata has precedence. Mongolia (aimags): Khuvsgul, Tuv.
