Material examined. 1 ♀, Mt. Liupan (35°42′ N, 106°11′ E), Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, 2100 m, 29.vi.2008, coll.

Xinpu Wang et al.; 1 ♀, Gongliu County (43°28′ N, 82°13′ E), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 1206 m, 5.viii.2007, coll. Xinpu Wang et al.; 1 ♀, Xinyuan County (43°25′ N, 83°16′ E), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 1562 m, 7.viii.2007, coll. Xinpu Wang et al.

Host plant. Caragana arborescens Lam. ( Zagulajev 1989) .

Distribution. China (Ningxia, Xinjiang), Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Russia.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to Y. fascimaculata sp. nov. in the female genitalia, but can be distinguished by the Y-shaped lamella postvaginalis and the smooth ductus bursae ( Fig. 163 ). In Y. fascimaculata sp. nov., the lamella postvaginalis is V-shaped and the ductus bursae is granulous on the posterior 1/3 ( Fig. 165 ). The male genitalia of this species are characterized by having a stout phallus that is as long as the valva ( Fig. 113 ).

Remarks. This species is newly recorded for China, with the female genitalia described for the first time.
