Clepsis trifasciata sp. n. with notes on some Lepidoptera Tortricidae from Kirgizstan

Abstract

A new species of tortricid moth, Clepsis trifasciata sp. n., from Kadzhi- Sai, Issik-Kul province (Kirgizstan) is described. Externally the new species is characterised by its wing pattern, whilst the male genitalia is close to Clepsis violacea Razowski, 1966, which is widely distributed in the Mongolian steppe region, and to Clepsis laetitiae Soria, 1997, from Aranjuez (Central Spain). Moreover, some notes on some interesting tortricid moths which were collected in the mountainous localities of Kirgizstan are reported.
