Isochlora balinti Babics, Csővári & L. Ronkay, 2008
( Figs 1–9 View Figures 1–4 View Figures 5–8 View Figure 9 )
Isochlora balinti Babics, Csővári & L. Ronkay, 2008 , Folia Entomologica Hungarica , 69: 2, figs 1–4, 9 (Type locality: “ Kyrgyzstan, Yssyk- Köl region GoogleMaps , Inner Tien Shan mts, Terskey- Ala-Too mts, 10 km SW of Barskoon-pass, 3820 m, N41°50’32, E77°43’54”).
Type material examined. Photographs of the holotype ( Figs 1 View Figures 1–4 , 5 View Figures 5–8 ): male, “ Kyrgyzstan, Yssyk- Köl region, Inner Tien Shan mts, Terskey-Ala-Too mts, 10 km SW of Barskoon-pass, 3820 m, N41°50’32, E77°43’54, 17.VII.2007, leg. J. Babics & T GoogleMaps . Csővári ” / red label “ HOLOTYPE Isochlora balinti Babics, Csővári & L. Ronkay, 2008 ” / “coll. HNHM, Isochlora (Chamyla) sp. n. slide No. RL 9299mm L. Ronkay, 2007” ( HNHM); photographs of the paratype ( Figs 2 View Figures 1–4 , 6 View Figures 5–8 ): male, the same data as the holotype, gen. slide No.: JB 292m (prepared by Babics) ( HNHM) GoogleMaps .
Additional material examined. 2 males, 02.VII.2015, SE Kazakhstan, Almaty Region, Transili Alatau Mts, 3.5 km S of Chimbulak ski resort, Tuyuksu gorge, 43°05’51’’ N 77°04’31.7’’ E, mountain tundra, P. V. Egorov leg. , gen. slides Nos.: AV2275 and AV2277 (prepared by Volynkin) ( CAV).
Remark. The freshly collected specimens ( Figs 3, 4 View Figures 1–4 ) have an intense green suffusion on the forewings while the type specimens of I. balinti ( Figs 1, 2 View Figures 1–4 ) almost lack a green suffusion probably due to degrading of the green pigment caused by using a conserving chemical (paradichlore) during the transporting of the material collected.
Distribution and Bionomics. The species is currently known only from two localities in the Tien Shan mountain massif ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ). The species inhabits rocky mountain tundra at altitudes above 3500m ( Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ). Preimaginal stages are unknown.
