NOTES. The specific rank of M. gilva was restored recently from the subspecies of Meteima mediorufa (Bastelberger, 1911) (Beljaev, 2016) to whom it was subor-

dinated by Inoue (1987). M. gilva reliably differs from M. mediorufa on the forewings by lighter transverse lines, a smoothly arched the postmedian transverse line without pronounced protrusion between the veins of M 1 –Cu 2, a weaker darkening of the transverse lines when crossing with the veins of the wing, in the male genitalia ( Figs 5, 6 ) by a twice as long as the separate cornutus on the vesica and narrower dilation of the distal portion of the uncus, and in the female genitalia by a much broader antrum. Images of the genitalia of M. mediorufa see Inoue (1986,

figs. 50, 51; 1987, figs. 3, 4, 5) and Yazaki (2010, figs. 17, 18).
