description: <i>Dodia albertae</i> Dyar Figs. 1, 4, 6, 8 <i>Dodia albertae</i> Dyar, 1901: 85. <i>Hypocrita atra</i> A. Bang-Haas, 1912: 109. <i>Hyperborea kozhantshikovi</i> Sheljuzhko, 1918: 104. <i>Dodia albertae eudiopta</i> Tshistjakov, 1988: 638, fig. 5; subspecies. <b>Type material.</b> <i>Dodia albertae</i> – Type locality: “Calgary, Alberta, [Canada], head of Pine Creek.” Male lectotype designated by Tshistjakov and Lafontaine (1984), USNM type No. 5747 [USNM, photograph examined]. <i>Hipocrita atra</i> – Type locality: “Arasagun-gol (Sajan)” according to original description, label on lectotype reads “Arasagun-go / Sajan” [Sayan Mountain range, Mongolia]. Male lectotype designated by Tshistjakov and Lafontaine (1984) [ZMHB, photograph examined]. Note – <i>Hipocrita</i> is an incorrect subsequent spelling of <i>Hypocrita</i> Hübner, [1807]. <i>Hyperborea kozhantshikovi</i> – Type locality: “in montes Dzhugdzhuz [Dzhugdzhur], ad flum. Dzhelinda” [Dzhugdzhur Mountains, Dzhelinda River, eastern Siberia; near the head of the Aldan River according to Tschistjakov (1988)]. Described from 1 male and 1 female syntype; male lectotype (and four paralectotypes) designated by Tshistjakov and Lafontaine (1984) [ZIN, genitalia slide no. 15,191; not examined]. Since only one male was included in the original type material, it is not clear which if any of the lectotype designations are valid. We follow Tschistjakov’s (1988) synonymy; he examined a genitalic preparation of the lectotype in his review of Palaearctic specimens of <i>D</i>. <i>albertae</i>, and treated <i>kozhantshikovi</i> as a synonym of <i>D</i>. <i>albertae albertae</i>. <i>Dodia albertae eudiopta</i> Tshistjakov, 1988 – Type locality: [Olenek River between lower Tomba and Alakit River, Russia]. Holotype male [ZIN; not examined]. The diagnosis and genitalic illustration of this taxon in the original description clearly show that it is more closely allied to <i>D</i>. <i>albertae</i> than to the new species described below. <b>Diagnosis.</b> See species key, and diagnosis of <i>D</i>. <i>tarandus</i>. <b>Distribution and biology.</b> <i>Dodia albertae</i> is widely distributed across the northern hemisphere in wet subarctic and subalpine tundra and boreal peat bog habitats (Fig. 9). In Eurasia it occurs from the Sayan Mountains eastward to eastern Siberia. In North America, it is distributed from the Yukon eastward to Labrador (Fig. 8).
