Family Geometridae

Dyschloropsis impararia (Guenée, 1858) – 7♂, 1♀, Lün, Orog (IMI); Staudinger 1897; Alberti 1971; Vojnits 1976; 1977; Viidalepp 1975.

Alcis repandata (Linnaeus, 1758) – 2♀, Orog ( IMI) ( Fig. 10 )

The collected females differs externally from the typical A. repandata , thougth the DNA-barcode obtained from the Mongolian specimen (SUB8742139 Org2 MW376200) is completely identical to the barcodes of A. repandata from Norway (for example, specimens LON4537-16; LON4521-16; LON2486-15; LON2484- 15), Germany (specimens GWORL353-09; GWORB782-07; GWOR4056-09; GWOR4080-09), Italy (GWOSH464-10) and France (LENOA1127-11). The study of the genitals in the Mongolian specimens did not reveal any significant differences from A. repandata , however due to the weak differentiation of sex structures in the females of this species group, this can not be regarded as a reliable feature. It is necessary to examine the males. In a series of publications ( Viidalepp 1975; Vojnits 1975, 1977) this species is mentioned as A. maculata (Staudinger 1892 non Moore, 1868); Enkhtur et al. 2020.
