Oiketicoides schakuhensis ( Heylaerts, 1885)

( Figs 6 View FIGURES 3–12. 3 , 35 View FIGURES 33–41. 33 )

Amicta lutea var. schakuhensis Heylaerts, 1885: 178 , holotype in MfN (examined). Type locality: Iran, Shakuh .

Material examined: 45 ♁ Iran, Elburs, vic. Shemshak , 12–13.viii.1977, 3000 m, leg. W. Thomas ; 7 ♁ ditto, 10–11.viii.1978; 20 Iran, vic. Kendevan , 14–18.viii.1977, 2500–3000 m, leg. W. Thomas ; 8 ♁ ditto, 8–15.viii.1978, leg. W. Thomas ; 5 ♁ Iran, vic. Ab-Ali , 10.viii.1978, ca. 2500 m, leg. W. Thomas.

Redescription. Head. Frons and vertex long brown hairy. Eyes large, EI 0.67. Antennae of half forewing length with 26–28 pecten.

Thorax. Wings. Covered with long dark brownish hair-like scales mixed with shorter bifurcated ones. Wingspan 27–29 mm, forewing length 12–13 mm. Forewings stretched, costal margin slightly concave in the basal third. Termen distinctly oblique, apex roundish. Light brown, hindwings with the same colour. FI 2.17. Forewing venation with 10 veins from dc, r3+r4 long-stalked and m2+m3 short-stalked.

Abdomen distinctly protruding the anal margin of the hindwings.

Male genitalia. GP 4032, 4033, 4034 ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 33–41. 33 ). Long and slender in general appearance, slightly similar to O. inquinata . Tegumen distinctly pointed, broadly folded laterally. When closed, valvae not protruding the distal end of the tegumen. Valvae slender, clasper of the sacculus sclerotized and covered with 7–8 short thorns. Cucullus is very short, and directed downwardly. Vinculum narrow, the lobes laterally hardly pronounced. Saccus long, of nearly valvae length. Phallus slightly bent, hammer-shaped, two-lobed distally with a ventral inversion.

Larval case. Unknown. Female. Unknown.

Distribution. Only known from the Elburs region in Iran. Following the data of Kozhanshikov (1956) also known in Turkmenistan. Sauter & Hättenschwiler (1991) also mention the species for the fauna of Russia, but this is definitely not the case. Both authors have never seen true O. schakuhensis from any parts of the former Soviet Union.
