Xu Zhang and Jinmei Lv (gen. slide L06110) (all NKU).
Material examined. 1 ♂, Russia, SW-Buryatia, 51°47-48’N, 100°55-58’E, 700 m, E-Sayan Mts, 1450 m, Mondy vill., 2 km E, forest steppe, 13.vi.2002 (Nupponen) (TLMF Lep 28358); 1 ♂, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 299/16, OB) (TLMF Lep 28359); 1 ♂, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 263/16, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28357); 1 ♂, same data as for preceding but 15.vi.2002 (gen. slide 223/19, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28298); 1 ♀, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 404/16, OB) (all NUPP); 1 ♂, Chita region, Sokhondinskiy zapovednik, Agutsakan, 1200 m, at light, 7.vii.1997 (Bidzilya, I.

Remark. Scrobipalpa punctulata was described from eight males and one female collected in Henan and Shanxi Provinces in China (Li & Bidzilya 2019). The abdomen of the single female from the type series has been lost, so that its genitalia have not been described. The male genitalia of specimens from Siberia (Fig. 79) match in all details the type specimens of S. punctulata from China. However, adults of the latter have darker, blackish grey rather than light grey hindwing (Figs 20, 21). The female genitalia are described here for the first time.
Female genitalia (Fig. 131). Papillae anales subtriangular, sparsely covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores four times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII as broad as long; posterior margin of sternum VIII broadly emarginated, anterior margin straight, strongly edged; subgenital plates distinctly broadened posteriorly and almost connected at 3/4 length, smoothly sclerotised, with several transverse folds at base of apophyses anteriores; ventromedial depression smooth, medially merged, broadly rounded anteriorly, not extending beyond anterior margin of sternum VIII, separated anteriorly by short triangular incision; apophyses anteriores straight, as long as segment VIII; colliculum narrow, ring-shaped; ductus bursae gradually broadened, with indistinct transition to narrow, elongate corpus bursae, signum stout, distal hook broad at base, with short teeth in basal portion.
Molecular data. BIN: BOLD:AEC9426. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0% (n=3). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, S. fontanensis Varenne & Nel, 2017 (BIN: BOLD:ADJ0760), is 6.6%.
Distribution. Russia (new record): Buryatia, Zabaikalskiy krai; China: Henan, Shanxi (Li & Bidzilya 2019: 105).
