Wanke; in ZSM. Description. Wingspan ♂29–40 mm, ♀35–42 mm (forewing length ♂18–22 mm, ♀19–24 mm) (figs 73–83). Antennae bipectinate in both sexes. Frons flat, projecting about one quarter diameter of eye, smoothly scaled. Chaetosemata present as two small patches. Length of labial palpi about 1.0 times diameter of the eye, slightly exceeding frons. Proboscis absent. Ground colour of wings highly variable, varying from sandy grey-yellow and light brown to dark brown. Transverse lines faint or visible. Terminal line from light to dark brown, sometimes faint. Postmedial line of forewing, if present, curved between M1 and M2; antemedial line, if visible, curved outwards. Postmedial line of hindwing absent or slightly visible. Antemedial line often faint or slightly visible as a shadow. Underside of wings variable, from unicolorous to vaguely showing the pattern of the upper side. Discal spots present only on underside. In male genitalia (figs 120–122) uncus tapered and curved, basally broad (fig. 121). Gnathos well developed, strongly sclerotized, medially tongue-shaped. Saccus wide. Costa of valva narrow, strongly sclerotized, apically spinose, digitiform and slightly exceeding apex of valva. Both ampullae located in the distal half of valva, apically spinose; ampulla superior long, basally wide, medially narower; ampulla inferior well developed, of similar length like ampulla superior and narrower than the latter. Juxta anchor-shaped, stalk broad. Aedeagus broad (width-length ratio, 1:9), medially curved; cornutus half length of aedeagus. In female genitalia ovipositor broad, Apophyses anteriores one fifth length of apophyses posteriores (fig. 143). Sternite A9 conical. Lamella postvaginalis antero-posteriorly extended. Ductus bursae sclerotized. Corpus bursae membranous, pear-shaped, signum stellate. Note. Nychiodes eberti sp. nov. is highly variable in wing pattern, similar to the large variability in N. divergaria (see figs 52–83). Therefore, wing pattern and coloration are absolutely unreliable characters for a secure diagnosis of these two species and examination of male and female genitalia is mandatory. Diagnosis. In the distribution range of N. eberti sp. nov. the sympatrically occurring N. rayatica and N. divergaria can be confused when comparing wing pattern only (see figs 41, 42, 52–83). Furthermore, the wing pattern and coloration of N. eberti sp. nov. overlaps with that of N. convergata sp. nov., which is so far only known from Israel (figs 84, 85). Male genitalia of N. eberti sp. nov. with costa of valva characteristically narrow, digitiform at apex, slightly exceeding apex of valva (costa of valva apically very large and broad, clearly exceeding apex of valva in N. rayatica; costa of valva wide, not exceeding apex of valva in N. divergaria; costa of valva basally narrow, apically widely clubbed, clearly exceeding apex of valva in N. convergata sp. nov.) (see figs 105, 113–123). In N. eberti sp. nov. ampulla superior twice as broad as ampulla inferior, both ampullae not curved, located in the distal half of valva (ampulla superior conical, ampulla inferior strongly curved, both ampullae located at the centre of valva in N. rayatica; ampulla superior very long and broad, ampulla inferior highly variable, both ampullae located at the centre of valva in N. divergaria; ampulla superior digitiform, three times as broad as ampulla inferior, both ampullae located at the centre of valva in N. convergata sp. nov.) (see figs 105, 113–123). In N. eberti sp. nov. aedeagus thick and slightly curved, cornutus-aedeagus ratio 1/2 (aedeagus very small and short, cornutus-aedeagus ratio 1/ 2 in N. rayatica; aedeagus thick and strongly curved, cornutus-aedeagus ratio 2/ 3 in N. divergaria; aedeagus narrow and long; cornutus-aedeagus ratio 1/ 3 in N. convergata sp. nov.) (see figs 105b, 113 b–118b, 123b). Female genitalia of N. eberti sp. nov. with apophyses anteriores one fifth length of apophyses posteriores (strongly reduced apophyses anteriores, two strongly sclerotized spherical patches on sternite A 9 in N. divergaria; female of N. rayatica and N. convergata sp. nov. unknown) (see figs 141–143). Phenology. Flying from May to August. Biology. Unknown. Habitat. In altitudes from 50 up to 2500m. Distribution. Distributed in Turkey (map 3). DNA barcoding. Diverging by 3.1% (minimum pairwise distance) from the N. divergaria-subvirida complex. Nearest species (minimum pairwise distances): N. mirzayansi sp. nov. (3.1%) and N. convergata sp. nov. (3.4%) (fig. 145). Etymology. The name of this species is dedicated to Günter Ebert (born in 1935), former curator of the Lepidoptera collection in Karlsruhe State Museum of Natural History and editor in chief of the masterpiece "Die Schmetterlinge Baden-Württenbergs" in 10 volumes. During his many expeditions in Iran and Afghanistan, Günter Ebert collected the most important reference collection for these countries, deposited in SMNK (and parts in ZSM). All Nychiodes specimens, which were collected by Ebert are examined in this paper.Published as part of Wanke, Dominic, Hausmann, Axel, Krogmann, Lars, Petrányi, Gergely & Rajaei, Hossein, 2020, Taxonomic revision of the genus Nychiodes Lederer, 1853 (Geometridae: Ennominae: Boarmiini) with description of three new species-an integrative approach, pp. 1-61 in Zootaxa 4812 (1) on pages 34-36, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4812.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/394410

Taxonomic remark on the subspecies. Based on the sympatric occurrence of the forms, absence of clear and constant morphological characters and evidence from the molecular data, most subspecies (except Synopsia phasidaria afghana comb. nov.) are treated as synonym to Synopsia phasidaria phasidaria comb. nov.. All subspecies and forms of S. phasidaria have been described based on small series of specimens, mainly referring to a different wing pattern and differences in the male genitalia (e.g. shape of the uncus, the number of cornuti and differences in the shape of the harpe). Nonetheless, in S. phasidaria all these characters are highly variable even within a single population, which has been stated also by different previous authors (Brandt 1938, Wiltshire 1966) and thus are inadequate as diagnostic characters (see fig. 36). Furthermore, we observed two kinds of bipectinate antennae in females (short or long pectination) (figs 1 H–I, 2), even in the same populations. However, these specimens with different shape of antennae do not show any correlated diagnostic differences in the wing pattern, genitalia characters, and DNA barcodes (fig. 41). All evidence therefore support the synonymy of these subspecies and lead us to conclude that the structurally different female antennae are intraspecific variation. Diagnosis. Wings and body (figs 8–22). Wingspan ♂ 26–38 mm, ♀ 32–42 mm, female specimens rarely smaller (forewing length ♂ 15–20 mm, ♀ 17–23 mm). Wing pattern highly variable, ground colour of wings from bright beige or sandy yellow with some brown spots, to brown (sandy yellow with some brown and orange spots in S. phasidaria afghana; similar in S. centralis; beige to brown, spotted dark in S. sociaria). Transverse lines faint or slightly visible (brown in S. phasidaria afghana and S. centralis; black in S. sociaria) (figs 5–7, 23–26). Male genitalia (figs 29–33, 36). Uncus sclerotized, slightly bifurcate or tip only concave in the centre (sclerotized tip concave in S. centralis; sclerotized and strongly bifurcate in S. sociaria). Gnathos well developed, arms fused, forming a tongue-shaped upturned plate, variable in shape (similar in S. centralis; almost similar in S. phasidaria afghana and S. sociaria). Costa of valva with central projection usually bearing one to three spines (similar in S. phasidaria afghana; without central projection in S. centralis; central projection bearing one to two spines in S. sociaria). Harpe sickle-shaped (similar in S. phasidaria afghana; thumb-shaped in S. centralis; without any harpe in S. sociaria). Aedeagus thick, bearing a small amount of cornuti, from 4 to 8 (5–6 cornuti in S. phasidaria afghana; 8 cornuti in S. centralis; vesica with two groups of cornuti, with a total amount of up to 25 spines in S. sociaria) (figs 27–28, 34–36). Female genitalia (figs 38–40). Apophyses anteriores about half the length of apophyses posteriores (similar in S. sociaria). Ductus bursae sclerotized, short and wide, with longitudinal foldings (wide and sclerotized, hardly any longitudinal foldings in S. sociaria). Corpus bursae, posteriorly sclerotized, anteriorly membranous (membranous in S. sociaria). Signum irregularly star-shaped (similar in S. sociaria, see fig. 37b). Phenology. Investigated specimens collected from May to September, suggesting that this species has more than one generation per year. Biology. Larva feeding on Apiaceae and Fabaceae (e.g. Trifolium sp.) (Wehrli 1954). Habitat. In altitudes from 1100 up to 3750 m. Distribution. Anatolian-Iranian, from eastern Turkey and southern Armenia, to western, northern and southeastern Iran. In Afghanistan rarely recorded, occurrence so far restricted to the type locality of the subspecies S. phasidaria afghana (see fig. 42). Genetic data. BIN: BOLD:AAC8929 (n=25). Nearest species: S. sociaria at a distance of only 3.5 %, which underpins the close phylogenetic relationship and thus the synonymy of Synopsidia with Synopsia. Genetic distance of Synopsia (sensu lato) from species of Palearctic related genera is much larger, i.e. Hypoxystis (represented by pluviaria) (7.1 %), Chariaspilates (represented by formosaria) (8.8 %), Angerona (represented by prunaria) (8.9 %), Siona (represented by lineata) (8.9 %) (fig. 41).Published as part of Wanke, Dominic, Hausmann, Axel, Sihvonen, Pasi, Krogmann, Lars & Rajaei, Hossein, 2020, Integrative taxonomic review of the genus Synopsia Hübner, 1825 in the Middle East (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ennominae), pp. 27-50 in Zootaxa 4885 (1) on pages 32-35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4885.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/429633
Phaselia smettboi Werner & Hausmann & Kostjuk & Wanke & Rajaei 2023, sp. nov.
No full textP. smettboi sp. nov. vs. (P. joestleinae) External characters (27–32; 56–58). Forewing ground colour speckled with tiny light to dark grey-brown dots; antemedial line clearly zigzagged, all three teeth of similar length; subterminal line continuous, serrate with well-pronounced triangular spikes (ground colour with smooth dusty pattern; antemedial line irregularly zigzagged, costal tooth reduced to a barely visible curve; subterminal line interrupted in the middle, serrate with weakly pronounced triangular spikes). Male genitalia (figs 80–85; 107–108). Sacculus oval with many well-pronounced spines on the whole surface; aedeagus with a small claw-like cornutus (sacculus slightly oval, smoothly transitioning to valvula, without or with very small, fine spines on the sacculus; aedeagus with a strong, claw-like cornutus). Female genitalia (figs 125–127; 142–143). No diagnostic characters. Phenology. Possibly univoltine. Investigated specimens have been collected from early May to late July. Biology. Unknown. Habitat. Investigated specimens have been collected at altitudes from 150 m in Turkey (Bilecik) up to 1575 m in Turkey (Agri). Distribution. From Northwest Turkey over Southwest Russia and South Ural Mountains to West Kazakhstan (fig. 144). DNA barcoding. Genetic distances from morphologically most similar species: Phaselia serrularia (10.78%), P. pithana bona sp. (6.34%), P. phaeoleucaria stat. rev. (4.76%). Genetically closest species: P. phaeoleucaria stat. rev. (4.76%) and P. deliciosaria (4.93%) (fig. 145, Tab. 1). Etymology. The name smettboi originates from the famous 90s series ‘Pokémon’, which strongly influenced the childhood of the first author (MW) and that of her generation. Smettbo is the german name of a Pokémon (which is a small ‘pocket’ monster), that looks like a butterfly. With the slogan “Gotta Catch 'Em All”, the principle of Pokémon for finding all existing creatures, is a similar target in taxonomy.Published as part of Werner, Maria Johanna, Hausmann, Axel, Kostjuk, Igor, Wanke, Dominic & Rajaei, Hossein, 2023, Integrative taxonomic revision of the genus Phaselia Guenée, [1858] (Geometridae: Ennominae) in the Middle East and Central Asia, pp. 1-66 in Zootaxa 5326 (1) on pages 16-17, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5326.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/824381
