Holotype, male, Russia, North-Eastern Yakutia, Verkhnekolymsky District, Arga-Tas Range, uppers of Tuora-Bygyttakh river, H− 1100−1300 m, 20−28.vi. 2022, leg. Y. Bakhaev (Zoological Institute, Saint-Petersburg, Russia). Paratypes. 76 males, 19 females, the same locality and data (Zoological Institute, Saint-Petersburg, Russia; private collection of Roman V. Yakovlev, Barnaul and Yuri I. Bakhaev, Lipetsk). Description. Male. Wingspan of holotype 43 mm, paratypes – 34−46 mm. Antennae coal-black, shorter than half of fore wing in length. Head, thorax and abdomen covered with coal-black scales. Fore wing white from above, with dense sputtering of black scales basally, black scales sputtering also along costal margin from root to apex of wing, clearly expressed black stroke in centre of discal cell, black cuneal or round spot at top of discal cell, series of two-three (partially fused) black strokes between radial veins postdiscally, series of two-four small black strokes between radial cells postdiscally (closer to outer margin of wing), outer margin of wing (from apex to Cu 1) semi-transparent, with sputtering of black scales, fringe white. Fore wing from underside with completely the same pattern as on wing from upside. Hind wing from upside white, with vast black portion, occupying area from anal margin and wing base to middle of discal area and portion along Cu 2 vein, postdiscal area in cell Sc+R− Rs and cell M 1 −M 2 with tiny dark spots translucent from underside; in some males, black spot on wing upside only in cell Sc+R− Rs, very thin rim along wing margin from Rs to М 2 (rarely, M 3) (in almost half of specimens, rim torn into separate strokes), fringe white. Hind wing from underside with more contract pattern than from upside: postdiscally in cell Sc+R− Rs and cell M 1 −M 2 well developed small black spots (often developed in cells M ...
