(Figs 2, 23, 37)
Atrovirensis annamita Gyulai, Ronkay &Wu, 2013, Fibigeriana supplement: 1: 125, Pl. 39:5–8; gen. fig. 3, 4. Type-locality: North Vietnam, Prov. Lao Cai. Holotype: HNHM.
Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 2). Wingspan 38–40 mm. The species differs from the related A. atrovirens, A. pedibus and A. parannamita by generally darker wing colouration. Male genitalia (Fig. 23). In the male genitalia, A. annamita differs from A. atrovirens by its thinner, apically less hooked uncus, shorter but broader, almost quadratic juxta, slenderer and somewhat longer harpe, more elongated neck of cucullus and by shape of cucullus, which is more tapered ventrally. The ventral diverticulum of the vesica bears a large cornutus which is not knife-like as in A. atrovirens but straight, claw-like apically, and larger, more comb-like, situated on the tip of the medial diverticulum. Female genitalia (Fig. 37). The female genitalia differ from its congeners by presence of the large, discoidal and partly heavily sclerotised posterior section of bursa copulatrix, conical-trapezoidal shape of antrum and relatively large, less conical papillae anales with finely arched outer margins.
Distribution. North Vietnam.

Atrovirensis sinica

description: The sinica species-group
Atrovirensis sinica and next five species (A. owadai, A. taiwani, A. furcatus, A. sp. cf. furcatus and A. sacculatus) represent the sinica species group. The taxa of this group have rather massive uncus, shorter than in atrovirens - group, more rounded and much smaller cucullus, much larger gap between cucullus and saccular lobe of valva, more elongate harpe, much longer medial diverticulum, and the apically double-lobed large cornutus. The female genitalia of the sinica species group could be characterised by relatively small sclerotised ovipositor with slightly lyriform and apically constricted papillae anales, small, shallow antrum, short ductus bursae and elongate corpus bursae.

Atrovirensis sinica

description: Atrovirensis sinica Kononenko, 2001
(Figs 7, 27)
Atrovirensis sinica Kononenko, 2001, Japan Heterocerists’ Journal 216: 302, figs 4, 11, 13, 15. Type-locality: China, Prov. Guangdong [Prov. Kuantung, Linping]. Holotype: ZFMK, Bonn.
References. Draudt, 1950: 90 (Trachea atrovirens Moore, misident.); Chen, 1982: 257, fig. 1848 (Trachea prasinatra Draudt, misident.); Gyulai et al. 2013: 125, Pl. 39: 18 (Atrovirensis sinica, part.).
Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 7). Wingspan 37–38 mm. Externally A. sinica is close to A. owadai and A. taiwani, but differs from its congeners by more developed green elements of wing pattern and presence of reddish-brown suffusion along subterminal line. Male genitalia (Fig. 7). In male genitalia it differs from related A. owadai by narrower valva, more rounded cucullus, thinner and longer harpe, shorter main diverticulum with more massive stick-like double-lobed cornutus and thinner dorsal cornutus armed with single three small joined cornuti and four joined cornuti in the base. The female of A. sinica described by Kononenko (2001) from North Vietnam by opinion Gyulai et al. (2013) belongs to A. owadai, however the sex matching of this species should be revised, because A. sinica and A. owadai occur sympatrically in the Guangdong Province of China.
Distribution. China (Prov. Guangdong).
Note. The species was probably misidentified by Draudt (1950) as " Trachea atrovirens " and also misidentified and illustrated by Chen (1982) as " Trachea prasinatra ".

Atrovirensis owadai Gyulai, Ronkay & Wu, 2013, Fibigeriana supplement: 1: 127, Pl. 39:13–16; gen. fig. 7, 8. Type-locality: China, Prov. Guangdong, Nanling. Holotype: male, NSMT.
References. Kononenko 2001 (Atrovirensis sinica, part, female).
Material examined. 1 female, Prov. Guangdong, Huizhou City, Mt. Nankunshan, 17.v.2003. M. Wang leg. Genit. prep. HHL-2913-2. Coll. SCAU, presently deposited in NEFU, Harbin. The specimen included to the typeseries of A. owadai as a paratype.
Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 7). Wingspan 36–38 mm. The species is externally similar to its sister-species, A. sinica and A. taiwani, but can be distinguish from them by broader wings with less pointed apex, more vivid greenish patterns and the absence of reddish-brown suffusion in subterminal area. Male genitalia (Fig. 28). In the male genitalia, A. owadai differs from A. sinica by more massive uncus, larger, more triangular shape of cucullus, shorter and thicker harpe; vesica with larger and broader diverticula, medial cornutus larger and thinner than in A.
sinica. Female genitalia (Fig. 41, 42). The female of this species described by Kononenko (2001) as A. sinica (Gyulai et al. 2013). It could be characterised by relatively small lyriform ovipositor, small, split-like antrum, very short ductus bursae covered with fine short setae and elongate corpus bursae.
Distribution. China (Prov. Guangdong).
Note. The paratypes specimens of A. owadai referred by Gyulai et al. (2013) as 1 male, 1 female, Prov. Guangdong, Mt. Nankunshan, 17.v.2003, leg. M. Wang; “1 male, from the same site, 18.v.2003, leg.

Atrovirensis pedibus Gyulai, Ronkay & Wu, 2013, Fibigeriana supplement: 1: 126, Pl. 39:9–12; gen. fig. 5, 6. Type-locality: China, Prov. Hubei. Holotype: HNHM.
Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 5). Wingspan 31–34 mm. This species is close to A. atrovirens and A. parannamita but differs by smaller size (31–34 mm), generally darker colouration and details of wing pattern. Male genitalia (Fig. 25). In the male genitalia, it differs from the related species by narrower valva with less tapered narrower and more rounded cucullus and more rounded lobe of sacculus. It well differs from all congeners by the shape and size of the large broad-based cornutus of the vesica, neck-like constricted in medial part with terminal section dilated, appearing as a paw-like asymmetrical extension with apical U-shaped submedial incision; the medial diverticulum of the vesica is the largest among the allied species, bearing six terminal cornuti on the wide basal plate. Female genitalia (Fig. 39). The female genitalia of A. pedibus differ conspicuously from those of A. atrovirens by their trapezoid, anteriorly broader and more sclerotised antrum, longer, tubular ductus bursae, the enlarged posterior section of corpus bursae and the presence of four short, ribbon-like signa. A. pedibus differs from the other related species by its about twice larger conical papillae anales, less rounded shape of antrum and much broader shape of corpus bursae.
Distribution. China (Prov. Hubei).
Note. Three paratypes of A. pedibus referred by Gyulai et al. (2013) as “3 females, Autonomous region Xizang (Tibet), Hanmi–Motuo, 2100 m, 18–28.vii.2005, leg. H. Huang, D.K. Zhou & L. Tang (coll. NEFU) have been examined by authors only by photographs of adults, without dissection. In fact these specimens belong to A. parannamita (genit. preps HHL-2927-2; HHL-2928-2; 2929-2) and included here to the type series of the former.

(Figs 6, 26, 40)
Beside the examined material on A. parannamita we found the taxon, with by our opinion is closely related, but somewhat different from both A. parannamita and A. pedibus. We avoid describing it as a new species before more material can be acquired to judge the morphological difference with A. parannamita and A. pedibus or the molecular study can prove its specific status. The data on examined specimens and diagnosis are given here.
Material examined. 1 male, China, Aut. Reg. Xizang, Linzhi, Hanmi, 2200 m, 20–28.vii.2013, Z.H. Pan leg., genit. prep. HHL- 2907-1, coll. NEFU, Harbin; 2 females with same locality, data and collector, genit. prep. HHL- 2925 and HHL-2926. Coll. NEFU, Harbin.
Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 6). Wingspan 40–42 mm. This species belongs to the atrovirens species-group, being closer related to A. parannamita and A. pedibus; it is larger in the size than A. pedibus with the wingspan 31–34 mm but somewhat smaller than A. parannamita (wingspan 41–45 mm). Externally examined specimens are very similar to A. parannamita, but slightly differs from it beside smaller size by darker background and prominent black spot in subbasal area along inner margin of wing and somewhat darker coloured hindwing. It differs from related A. pedibus by brighter colouration. Male genitalia. (Fig. 26). In the male genitalia this species close to A. parannamita, but differs from by slightly broader shape of cucullus and lateral extension of sacculus, and mainly by the armature of vesica, in which the main large broad-based diverticulum is smaller, less curved than in A. parannamita, somewhat broadened and slightly dentate apically, with small submedial excision, but not bifurcate apically, like in A. parannamita and A. pedibus; the ventral diverticulum bearing apically group of small basally joined cornuti. Female genitalia. (Fig. 40). The female genitalia of the examined specimens differ from A. parannamita (Fig. 38) by broader rounded antrum with quadrangular cup-like inner part, longer ductus bursae and longer and thinner corpus bursae. They are differ conspicuously from those of A. pedibus (Fig. 39) by their twice smaller papillae anales, broader, rounded antrum, and relatively long thin ductus bursae and narrower tube-like shape of corpus bursae.
Distribution. China (Prov. Xizang, Linzhi). The taxon is known only from the collecting site.

Beside the examined material on A. furcatus we found the taxon, with by our opinion is closely related, but somewhat different from A. furcatus. We avoid describing it as a new species before more material can be acquired to judge the morphological difference with A. furcatus or the molecular study can prove its specific status. The data on specimens and diagnosis are given here.
Diagnosis. Adult. (Figs 12, 13). Wingspan 43–45 mm. The taxon belongs to A. sinica group. It is externally similar to its sister-species A. furcatus and the other species of the group, but can be distinguished from them by somewhat larger size (wingspan 43–45 mm), darker colouration of the forewing, mossy-green colour of pale elements of wing pattern and narrower subterminal field. Male genitalia. (Fig. 31). The male genitalia of A. sp. cf. furcatus are very similar to those of A. furcatus, but differs by somewhat narrower valva, more triangular shaped cucullus, longer ventral extension of sacculus and by shape of harpe, which is thinner and longer than those in A. furcatus, knee-like curved in apical third, but not slightly furcate as in A. furcatus. Aedeagus with longer basal tube of vesica, narrower ventral extension armed with two tiny cornuti; medial diverticulum armed with stick-like cornutus shorter, but more massive compared with A. furcatus. Female genitalia. (Fig. 44). Female genitalia close to A. owadai (Fig. 41, 42) and A. furcatus (Fig. 43), but differ by very small antrum formed by two small semicircular setose plates; ductus bursae longer than in A. owadai and thicker than in A. furcatus.
Distribution. South East China (Prov. Guangdong). The taxon is known only from its collecting sites.
Note. The male and female of this taxon (male, genit. slide HHL-2918-1 and female, HHL-2909-2) were incorrectly included to the type-series of A. owadai as paratypes (Gyulai et al. 2013).

description: The yoshimotoi species-group
The yoshimotoi species-group is represented by single species, which differs from its congeners by wing pattern, resembling some species of Atrachea Warren, 1911, i.e. A. viridula (Staudinger, 1895). The male genitalia armature is similar to those of species of the sinica species-group; the main differences from species atrovirens and sinica species-groups are the structure and armature of vesica which has no distinct diverticulum armed in the basal part by small but strong, conical cornuti; other diverticula are vestigial, but indicated by short, broad based cornuti and the; the straight, distally flattened large cornutus is located distally. female genitalia differ by broader and stronger papillae anales and by relatively broader and longer sclerotised and ribbed antrum.

Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 9). Wingspan 36–38 mm. A. taiwani by shape of wing is similar to A. sinica, both species differ from the former by narrower forewing, straight costal margin and more acute apical angle of wing. The colouration and wing pattern are similar to A. owadai, but differ by broader green subbasal field, more oblique and broader subterminal field and reniform joined in basal part with subterminal field. Male genitalia (Fig. 29). The male genitalia of A. taiwani can be distinguished from A. sinica and A. owadai by the much broader juxta, the somewhat longer and more pointed harpe, the more elongated cucullus, the basally longer large cornutus of the vesica, and by the well-developed ventral diverticulum bearing a single tiny terminal cornutus.

Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 16). Wingspan 34–35 mm. A. yoshimotoi somewhat resembled A. euplexina by wing pattern, but differs by the shorter and more rounded shape of forewing. It is easily separable from the other congeners by its uniquely pale and extensive, lichen-green forewing basal and subterminal fields and orbicular and reniform stigmata, the yellowish-green suffused dark brown median field and the white bordered basal, ante- and postmedial lines. Male genitalia (Fig. 33). The male genitalia of A. yoshimotoi have similar outline of valvae with those of the species of the sinica species-group but can be distinguished by the narrower juxta with U-shaped and more sclerotized distal part, the thicker and shorter harpe and the more evenly rounded cucullus with more elongated neck. The aedeagus has no distinct diverticulum on vesica, which armed in the basal part by small but strong, conical cornuti, and the diverticula are vestigial, but indicated by short, broad based cornuti; the straight, distally flattened large cornutus is located distally. Female genitalia (Fig. 46). In the female genitalia of A. yoshimotoi, the antrum is strongly sclerotized, shortly T-shaped; the ductus bursae is broader in width with dense granules sclerotisation and with longitudinal wrinkles in its walls.
Distribution. China (Prov. Guangdong: Nanling).

Atrovirensis miraculosus

description: The miraculosus species-group
The miraculosus species - group with sole species externally differs from three other species-groups by shape of wing with straight costal margin and oblique outer margin, salad-green colour of pale elements of wing pattern forming together with dark background cryptic lichen-type wing pattern and by male genitalia with broad neck of cucullus, strong flattened harpe, and small lateral extension of sacculus. Aedeagus broad, rather short; the vesica bears tiny cornutus on apical diverticulum and two short flat spine-like cornuti on dorsal diverticulum. The female genitalia of the miraculosus group differ significantly by having more robust, large sclerotised ovipositor, cup-like antrum and relatively short and broad sac-like corpus bursae. By our opinion the miraculosus species - group represents the basal branch in the genus Atrovirensis.

The euplexina group represented by single species A. euplexina which externally resembles A. yoshimotoi having similar type of wing pattern; but differs by moss-green with dark ground wing colouration; in the male genitalia it has large strong juxta, well separated relatively small cucullus with distinct neck, heavily developed short strong flattened harpe and small, vestigial lateral extension of sacculus; in aedeagus vesica short, armed with cutter-like cornutus on apical diverticula and group of four strong flat subbasal cornuti. Female genitalia are more similar to those of A. miraculosus, but differ by more conical ovipositor, wider membranous antrum and short sclerotised and ribbed ductus bursae. Similarly to A. miraculosus, this species group could be considered as specialized basal branch in the genus Atrovirensis.

KYRGYZSTAN • 1 ♂; Ala-Archa, Kashkasu; 29 Sep. 2001; S. Ovchinnikov leg.; ZIN.
Remarks
In Middle Asia, Q. fulvicollis was hitherto known only from a male specimen from the Chatkal Mountain Range in Uzbekistan (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2018a). The identification of this specimen was tentative due to the form of its paramere (with very narrow middle portion and shorter and more irregular rows of peg setae), which was somewhat different from other Q. fulvicollis. Also, the locality of that specimen was rather remote from the main distribution area of the species. Based on the material examined here, we provide new records of Q. fulvicollis from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. All examined specimens can be identified as Q. fulvicollis based on the structure of the aedeagus. Apparently, Q. fulvicollis is a boreo-montane species confined to the northern part of the Holarctic and to the mountains in the south. Nevertheless, considering the slightly different shape of the paramere in the mentioned specimen from Uzbekistan and the isolated records of Q. fulvicollis from Middle Asia with respect to the main broad latitudinal range of this species, this case needs a more thorough molecular study.

description: Quedius (Raphirus) pseudoumbrinus Lohse, 1958
Remarks
According to the molecular data, partially supported by the shape of the paramere (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2021), the former single species Q. umbrinus Erichson, 1839 (for example, sensu Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2018a) is divided into three species, Q. volkeri Salnitska & Solodovnikov, 2021, Q. umbrinus and Q. pseudoumbrinus. The first species is a local endemic of the Western Caucasus, while Q. umbrinus and Q. pseudoumbrinus are widespread West Palaearctic species with largely overlapping distributions. Unfortunately, neither the material of the former ‘ Q. umbrinus ’ from Middle Asia reported in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2018a), nor the material from this region used in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2021) are of DNA-grade. Among the material from Middle Asia studied in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2021), only the male specimens from Chilik River of Kungey Alatau in Kazakhstan can be identified as Q. pseudoumbrinus based on the more parallel-sided, not apically rhomboid paramere. The shape of the paramere in males from the Dzhungar Mountains in Kazakhstan and from N of Issyk Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2021) does not allow their confident identification as either Q. umbrinus or Q. pseudoumbrinus. Based on the shape of the paramere, the material reported as ‘ Q. umbrinus ’ in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2018a) is likely to be Q. pseudoumbrinus (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2021), though this needs to be tested with molecular data. It is noteworthy that all material of ‘ Q. umbrinus ’ from Middle Asia from both of our abovementioned studies with precise bionomic data was collected at higher elevations in the mountains. Thus, the Middle Asian populations of the Q. umbrinus complex may be somewhat isolated from the main ranges of Q. umbrinus and Q. pseudoumbrinus. To properly shed light on the identity of ‘ Q. umbrinus ’ in Middle Asia in view of the data in Salnitska & Solodovnikov (2021), DNA-grade material is needed.

TAJIKISTAN • 1 ♂; “ Tajikistan N slope of Gissar Mnt range Kanchoch [river] 2500 m a.s.l. 11.7.1990 Kuzminih/ A.A. Klimenko collection [in Russian]”; ZIN.
Remarks
Presumably this is a new species, which is not described here for reasons given in the comments on Q. (Distichalius) gissaricus sp. nov. above. More material is needed to confirm its identity and, if appropriate, describe the new species.

Material examined
KAZAKHSTAN • 2 ♂♂; Tarbagatay Mts, Karakol River; 23 Aug. 1989; V.A. Kastcheev leg.; ZIN.
Remarks
Prior to this study, the northernmost record for the peculiar mutilatus group was presented by three specimens from the Dzhungarian Alatau (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2018b). However, at that time we considered that record as questionable, possibly based on mislabelling, because of its very distant location from the core distribution area for this group. The specimens examined here come from a locality even further northwards. Thus, it can be argued that the formerly questioned record from Dzhungarian Alatau was in fact not erroneous. These findings show that the distribution of the mutilatus group extends significantly northwards. Unfortunately, as in the case of the material from Dzhungarian Alatau (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2018b), both male specimens from the Tarbagatay Mountains reported here are damaged by dermestids and their aedeagi are lost. Based on the external morphology, both specimens clearly belong to the Q. mutilatus group, but a more precise identification at the moment is not possible.
