Eup[ithecia] absinthiata sp.?/f. lunata Dietze, 1910, Biologie der Eupithecien 1: taf. 71, fig. 190; ibidem (1913), 2: 88. Holotype ♂ (designated by Mironov, 2009; coll. K. Dietze in MNHU, examined), [China]: Ili, Juldus [Yining region] (synonymised in Mironov & Galsworthy, 2013). This very variable and widespread Holarctic species has only been reported for Mongolia (Ulassutai) by Staudinger (1897). Specimens of this species from southern Kazakhstan and Mongolia are very similar externally to specimens described from north western China as E. absinthiata f. lunata Dietze, 1910 (Fig. 19). In our opinion, the male genitalia which are labelled as belonging to the holotype of E. lunata (Vojnits slide no. 1183♂) either derive from a gummed abdomen or were mislabelled by Vojnits, and belong to a different species, E. leptogrammata Staudinger (= melanochroa ... : Published as part of Mironov, Vladimir & Galsworthy, Anthony, 2014, A survey of Eupithecia Curtis, 1825 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae) in Mongolia with descriptions of two new species, pp. 101-130 in Zootaxa 3774 (2) on page 115, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3774.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/231500 ...
