Scrobipalpa chitensis (Povolný) View in CoL : Ponomarenko 2008: 4.

Type material examined. Holotype of E. chitensis ♂, [ Russia] Zabaikalie , Chita region, Kyra env., 4.vii.1997, on light, A. Bidzilya, I. Kostjuk, O. Kostjuk (gen. slide Bdz. 48, D. Povolný, remounted by OB) ( ZMKU).

Material examined. 2 ♂, 2 ♀, Russia, S-Buryatia, 51°11-13’N, 106°10-12’E, 700 m, Hamar-Daban Mts , Murtoi river , Gusinoe Ozero vill. 6 km NW, forest steppe, 19.vi.2002 (Nupponen) (gen. slide 157/ 16♂, 173/ 21♀, OB) ; 1 ♂, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 155/16, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28346) ; 1 ♂, same data as for preceding (gen. slide 213/19, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28341) ; 1 ♀, same data as for preceding but 20.vi.2002 (gen. slide 140/21, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28320) ; 1 ♀, same data as for preceding but 27.v.2006 (gen. slide 141/21, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28321) (all NUPP) ; 1 ♂, [Russia] SE Transbaikalia, Borzya, 30.viii.1998 (Golovushkin) (gen. slide 282/08, OB) ( ZMKU) .

Remarks. Euscrobipalpa chitensis was described from a single male ( Fig. 22 View Figures 21–30 ) collected in the environs of Kyra village, Zabaikalskiy krai, Russia. The species is very similar to S. bidzilyai (for the differences see under that species). Here we describe the female genitalia of S. chitensis for the first time.

Female genitalia ( Figs132,133 View Figures 132–135 ). Papillae anales subovate,covered with long setae at base; apophyses posteriores 4 times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII about as broad as long, sternum VIII densely covered with microspines, subgenital plates 1/3 width of sternum VIII, parallel-sided, lobes of ventromedial depression broad, rounded and separated by triangular incision anteromedially, not extending beyond anterior margin of sternum VIII; apophyses anteriores as long as segment VIII and 2–2.5 times length of ductus bursae; ductus bursae moderately broad, of even width except narrowed posterior portion; corpus bursae rounded, 1/3 length of ductus bursae; signum with large, subtriangular basal plate and straight or weakly curved acute process directed anteriorly.

Molecular data. BIN: BOLD:AEC6928. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0 % (n=4). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, S. bidzilyai ( Povolný, 2001) (BIN: BOLD:AEC6545), is 3.04% (p-dist) ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ).

Distribution. Russia: Buryatia (new record), Zabaikalskiy kraі ( Povolný 2001: 188); China: Shaanxi, Ningxia ( Li & Bidzilya 2019: 122).
