Huemer DNA barcode id KML Lep 0 0 484 (LMK). Description. Adult (Fig. 4). Male. Head brown with cream-coloured face; labial palpus cream, mottled brown; antenna dark brown, scapus and flagellum covered with cream scales on lower surface; thorax and tegula brown. Wingspan 16.0–17.0 mm; forewing light brown with extended dark brown and whitish mottling, whitish costal and tornal spots ill defined; costa from base to terminal area dark brown; fold with two oblique black-brown spots, separated by light brown, a dot-shaped black spot at 1 / 2 and an ill-defined angulated spot at 3 / 5; termen with some black scales, fringes concolorous with ground colour, fringe line present; hindwing light grey brown with concolorous fringes. Forelegs and middle legs brown with white scales, hindlegs white with long white bristles. The colour and wing markings may differ slightly in fresh specimens as the type-material is rather worn. Female unknown. Male genitalia (Figs 11, 19). Uncus with rounded apex, culcitula moderately large, gnathos a large hook; tegumen anteriorly widened, broadly and deeply emarginated anterior margin; pedunculi long, slender; valva long, slender, extending almost to apex of uncus, distally slightly inflated with pointed tip and long apical setae; sacculus slender, hardly inflated, with acute apex; primary process of vinculum long, moderately broad, needle shaped, about level with sacculus; secondary process of vinculum fused with primary process, extending from base to about 2 / 5 of primary process, broadly arched, sub-oval with outer margins slightly serrate; saccus long, moderately slender; phallus moderately long and slender, straight, without medial projection, coecum weakly inflated with two minute basal sclerites, apex with small hooklet. Female genitalia. Unknown. Diagnosis. Sattleria haemusi is externally very similar to other strictly allopatric species of the genus with a divided basal streak of the forewing, i.e., S. melaleucella and S. dzieduszyckii, but is smaller than the former and with more distinct black-brown markings on the forewings compared to the latter. Dissection of genitalia is necessary for safe identification. The male genitalia closely match those of S. dinarica (Figs 9, 17), S. triglavica (Figs 10, 18) and S. dzieduszyckii (Figs 12, 20), but differ by the evenly curved sub-oval shape of the secondary process of the vinculum, from the former two also by the broader primary process with stronger setae. Molecular data (Fig. 21). The intraspecific divergence of the barcode region is low with 0.15% (p-dist) (n= 2). The distance to the nearest neighbour S. cottiella is 3.69% (p-dist) (n= 5). Bionomics. Host-plants and early stages are unknown. The few adults known to date have been collected in August at light at elevations of about 2100 to 2200 m. Distribution. Known with certainty only from the Rila Mts. (Bulgaria) and the Šar Planina Mts. (Macedonia), but from biogeographical considerations, unverified records from Albania (Povolný 2001) probably also refer to this species. Etymology. The name is derived from the latin noun haemus = Balkans, referring to the distribution of the species. MAP 1.

The hindwings are pale grey as in <i>P. frigidana</i> and <i>P. cantabriana</i> sp. nov. The vesica easily distinguishes this species from all other members of the group: with large dorsal and ventral diverticula; <i>P. frigidana</i> has only one diverticulum (dorsal); the diverticula on the other three species are oriented more or less laterally. The shape of the valva resembles those of <i>P. frigidana</i>. The phallic process is slightly curved to the right and resembles that of <i>P. cantabriana</i> sp. nov. The female genitalia are generally similar to these of <i>P. schawerdae</i>, but the sclerotized area of the corpus bursae is larger, with three long folds on the right ventral side; the folds in <i>P. schawerdae</i> are short and more numerous (5–6).</p> Etymology <p>The specific name is a feminine adjective derived from the name of the Alps.</p> Material examined <p> <b>Holotype</b></p> <p> FRANCE: ♂, pinned, spread, well-preserved, three labels: // FRANKREICH Alpes Maritimes Tete Chaudon, 2200 m NE.

Vesica with subspherical proximal part and large part protruded from the right, bearing two large diverticula ending with cornuti. A furrow divides the two parts. Gonopore sunk in dorsal portion of furrow and surrounded by large sclerotized plate with uneven surface (distal part of ductus ejaculatorius). Right part of vesica protrudes in wider, conical, almost straight dorsal and narrower, cylindrical, curved ventral diverticulum. Cornuti aciculate and capitate, very robust, large, ventral one larger and slightly curved near apex. Proximal part of vesica bears a large conical ventral protrusion (diverticulum) with small processes.

The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, <i>P. schawerdae</i> from the Dinaric Mts is 4.01%.</p> Ecology <p>Preimaginal stages and larval host plant are unknown. The type material was collected in July at altitudes of about 2200 m a.s.l. According to Bassi & Scaramozzino (1989) the moths fly in two generations from April to July. However, material collected by these authors in the Italian Alps dates from mid- to late May and was collected at relatively low altitudes from 1200 to 1350 m a.s.l. From available data it thus seems more likely that the species is univoltine with a flight period from May to July, depending on climatic conditions and elevation. Habitat: the type material was collected in alpine grassland above the tree-line.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b> (Fig. 10)</p> <p> So far known only from the south-western Alps (France, Italy).
