81. Autotrichia heterogynoides (Wehrli, 1927)

(adult Fig. 10S ; male gen. Figs 26E–26H )

Autotrichia heterogynoides Wehrli, 1927: 92 ; Viidalepp, 1979: 788; Mironov et al., 2008: 199 (region 26 “?”).

Orthotrichia heterogynoides: Viidalepp, 1996: 84 .

Ortotrichia [sic!] heterogynoides: Gordeeva & Gordeev, 2007: 143 .

Material examined. Buryatia: Mondy , 2400 m, 23.VI.2002, 1♂, V . Kovtunovitch [ ISEA]; s. loc., 19.VII.2013, 1♂ [ IM] .

Distribution. Endemic to mountains of Southern Siberia. Altai, Tuva, Buryatia. Outside Russia in Mongolia.

Hostplants: unknown.

Note. The specimens mentioned above were collected close to the type locality of the A. heterogynoides, Munku-Sardyk Mountain. However , they conspicuously differ from each other in the shape of valvula, harpe and saccus ( Figs 26E, 26G ). Appearance of their genitalia has also some differences from the illustration of the genitalia “ Orthotrichia heteroginoides Whrl. ” provided by Vasilenko (2002: 557). Moreover, the curved shape of cornutus in these specomens corresponds to that in Pleotrichia Vasilenko, 2005 . The diagnostic features of related species, i.e. A. karanguica Vasilenko, 2003 , A. lysimeles (Prout, 1924) and P. kurenica Vasilenko, 2005 discussed earlier ( Vasilenko 2001, 2002, 2005) evidently requires a reexamination. Due to the scanty material I assigned the Buryatian representatives of this genus with heterogynoides described from the neighbouring location.
