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 View Figures 76–79 ) 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 View Figures 11–20 , 21). The female genitalia are described here for the first time.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 131 View Figures 130, 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).
