Description. ( Figs 22–23 View FIGURES 16–25 ) Wingspan 27–37 mm. Apex of forewing pointed. Ground colour of the wings warm ochre-brown to light ochre (Cappadocia), wavy transverse line darker; the area between postmedial line and subterminal line light-brown. Hindwings light ochre to light ochre-brown; transverse lines indistinct, invisible towards the wing base. Wing surface with a strong lustre. Termen undulating; subterminal line present; terminal line continuously medium brown. Wing underside uniform light brown, on forewing postmedial line only present at the upper two third, absent or very weak towards inner margin. On hindwing underside the postmedial line being usually weaker, sometimes absent. Discal spot hardly visible on forewing, weak or absent on hindwing. Terminal line very thin on both wings. Fringes slightly darker than the ground colour. In male, the patch of androconial hairscales on underside of hindwing dorsum grey-brown, more concentrated towards tornus. High variable in all pattern.
Male genitalia. ( Figs 34 View FIGURES 31–34 , 39 View FIGURES 35–39 ) Uncus triangular, apically rounded. Valva membranous, lobe-like, apically rounded. Sacculus projection digitiform, more or less straight, reaching to half of the length of valva, its apex rounded. Juxta trapezoid, distally with two lateral fine projections and an elongated medial bifurcated lobe. Labides well developed, reaching to the mid of uncus, apically thin, clubbed and covered with hairs. Saccus broadly rounded. Aedeagus cylindrical, straight. Vesica covered with tiny dotted microcornuti, apically with a pair of long needleshaped, stout cornuti (sometimes only a single cornutus), basally with a patch of short cornuti.
Female genitalia. ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 40–47 ) Ovipositor large, wide. Posterior apophyses three times longer than anterior apophyses. Antrum and lamella antevaginalis membranouse. Ductus bursae wide, short. Corpus bursae largely elongated, with two distinguishable parts: posteriorly well sclerotized, covered with a ridge of tiny spines along the corpus bursae and small patch of spines close to membranous part; anteriorly membranous without any spine.
Diagnosis. Based on its size and wing pattern the new species could be confused only with H. montivagata . The background of wings of H. loebeli have a warm-brown to light orange hue (grey-brown to grey ochre in H. montivagata ). The andoconial hairscales on dorsum hindwing of male in H. loebeli are grey ochre elongated from basal to tornus of hindwing (dark brown with more concentration towards tornus in H. montivagata ). On the male genitalia, H. loebeli has an uncus with clearly long apical part, apically rounded; juxta short, its apical lobe triangular; vesica with one or two long needle-shaped cornuti at its apical part and a patch of tiny spines an its basal part in H. loebeli (uncus short, trapezoid; juxta long, its apical lobe elongated and shallowly bifurcated; the patch of tiny spines at basal part of vesica is absent in H. montivagata ). In H. loebeli the sacculus part of valva clearly longer than in H. montivagata (this character is only visible in natural position and will be changed in embedded structure; see Figs 38–39 View FIGURES 35–39 ). In female genitalia, H. loebeli has a less sclerotized ductus bursae; posterior apophyses three times longer than anterior apophyses (ductus bursae strongly sclerotized; posterior apophyses twice longer than anterior apophyses in montivagata ).
Genetics. Show barcode sharing with both H. hyrcana and H. montivagata , all three species could be diagnosed based on male and female genitalia (see discussion section).
Distribution. So far only known from Asia Minor ( Turkey). Occurrence in Armenia and western parts of Azerbaijan is most likely by zoogeographic reasons.
Habitat. The species inhabits a wide range of habitats. H. loebeli was recorded in dry xeromontane high mountain steppes, in warm and herb-rich steppes of Inner Anatolia (Cappadocia) and edges and clearings of broadleaved forest of north-east Turkey (prov. Erzurum) as well ( Fig. 76, 77 View FIGURES 71–77 ). The hostplant seems to be facilitated by grazing of human livestock.
Phenology. According to the data the imaginal period lasts from mid-May to the end of August. The very early records from mid-May from the Nemrut Dagh (worn specimen!) and Cappadocia indicate the presence of two regular generations in sites with favourable climate, whereas a single brood occurs in cold, high montane and northern areas. This hypothesis could be confirmed by rearing experiments under laboratory conditions (J. Gelbrecht, pers. communication).
Biology. Life cycle like in the genus description. Hostplants are probably local Berberis species.
Immature stages. Not examined.
