Abstract: | The taxa of the Lygephila
lubrica (Freyer, 1846) species complex are revised. The genital features of all known taxa are described and illustrated, with special reference to the structure of the vesica. Genitalia of Lygephila
lubrica from different places in Russia, Central Asia and China are studied, illustrated and compared with different Mongolian populations. Lygephila
kazachkaratavika, described as a subspecies, is raised to a species level, stat. n. Neotypes of Lygephila
lubrosa (Staudinger, 1901), Lygephila
lubrosa
kazachkaratavika Stshetkin YuL & Stshetkin YuYu, 1994 1997] and Lygephila
lubrosa
orbonaria Stshetkin YuL & Stshetkin YuYu, 1994 1997] are designated. The female genitalia of the type of Lygephila
lupina (Graeser, 1890) is described and illustrated for the first time, and Lygephila
mirabilis (Bryk, 1948) treated here as a junior subjective synonym, syn. n. |
