Drasteria antiqua antiqua ( Staudinger, 1889)

( Map 23 View MAP 23 ) ( Figs. 172–174 View FIGURES 166–186 (imago), 256, 257 (male genitalia), 289 (female genitalia))

Staudinger, 1889: 56 ( Leucanitis Tenera var. Antiqua ). Type locality: “südlich vom Issyk-Kul in Sandsteppen” (by original description); “Issyk-Kul m.” (by the lectotype designation); “Chinese Kashgaria” (after correction, see below).

Type material: Lectotype male (selected by L. Ronkay, designated here in accordance with ICZN Art. 74) ( Figs. 172–174 View FIGURES 166–186 ), labelled: “Issyk-Kul m. | 88 Rckbl” (brown paper, handwritten), “Origin.” (pink paper, printed), “Zool. Mus. | Berlin ” (white paper, printed), “ex coll. 1/2 | Staudinger” (white paper, printed with handwritten numbers), “4289 ♂ | gen.prep.No. | det. L. Ronkay” (white paper, printed with handwritten numbers), “ Lectotypus | Drasteria | antiqua Stgr. | des. L. Ronkay ‘93” (white paper with red borders, handwritten) ( ZMHU). Paralectotype: 1 male ( ZMHU).

Poole, 1989: 327; Lehmann, Bergmann, 2005: 20 [Issyk Kul depression, Central and western part (Naryn), Terskey Ala-Too].

Type locality correction. In the original description the type locality mentioned very clearly as the place southwards Issyk-Kul Lake with sand steppes. In the mountains south of Issyk-Kul such places are not present and the nearest place with sand steppes located in the mentioned direction and were this species was confirmed is Kashgaria (eastern limit of Takla-Makan desert). The type series collector, H. Rückbeil, collected in this area several times (1887, 1888, 1890) ( Staudinger & Rebel, 1901); the types dated [18]88, collected by Rückbeil and thus the type locality must be corrected to “Chinese Kashgaria”.

Habitat. Dry midlands, deserts and semideserts. Elevation: 200–1000 m.

Distribution. Little known species. Southern Mongolia, North-Eastern China on the northern border of Takla- Makan desert. The records from Kyrgyzstan (historical specimens and the paper of Lehmann & Bergmann (2005)) are highly likely erroneous and origin from the species original description where the locality Issyk-Kul was mentioned.
