ausführliche Kommentare bleiben. Ich sage

Ahlbergia arquata Johnson, 1992
(JOHNSON, 1992: 27 - 28; figs. 14, 15, 64)
war aus «Andijan, E.Turkestan [now
Usbekistan …] beschrieben, U.S.R.» (nach
Holotypus) (wird Holotypus in Muséum
national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris)
bewahrt. Ist laut der Originalbeschreibung,
stammen die typisierten Exemplare dieser
Art aus der Gegend «Andijan» und früher als
wurden in die Kollektion STEMPFFER
bewahrt. Wie die Erweiterung zum
Aufenthalt der Arten «E.Turkestan»
zugeschrieben ist. Doch ist E.Turkestan und
es existiert der Bezirk Südlichen Gissares,
und hier gibt es den besiedelten Punkt mit
der Benennung Andishan.
Originalbeschreibung:
«Diagnosis.
Most similar to sister species A. leei but
very large (FW circa 13.0 mm), with upper
surface indescent blue brighter than on any
other congener and under surface ground
coloration extremely light, alternating white
and gray, causing hindwing banded elements
to be extremely outstanding. Known
distribution restricted far westward from
congeners – in the Tadzhik, Kirghiz and Tien
Shan mountain regions. Male genitalia with
extremely shouldered bilobes and a long,
abruptly tapered caudal extension; female
genitalia with ductus bursae extremely short
(expanse nearly equal to the lamellal
breadth) and widely convoluted ventral
surfaces on the lamella postvaginalis.
Description.
Male: Head, thorax, abdomen, legs,
pupal and frons typical of the genus. Upper
Surface of the Wings: Ground colors fuscous
but suffused brightly with blue nearly of the
postmedial areas. Forewing with scent brand
in distal area of discal cell. Margins
generally gray and slightly crenate with
hindwing anal lobe pronounced. Under
Surface of the Wings: Ground colors of
forewings generally dark brown with
somewhat lighter brown distal of a
pronounced black postmedian line.
Hindwings with basal disc blackish brown,
vivdly contrasting a lighter auburn brown
ground in medial to postmedial areas and
with emphatic gray-white basad of the basal
disc and in the distal postmedial areas.
Because of the light grey grounds, the dark
brown motted crescent-like bands of the
distal hindwing areas are emphatic. The anal
lobe is fringed with a bright gray hue and a
prominent white marking between veins SC
+ R1 and RS. Length of Forewing: 12,8 mm
(holotype).
Female: Head, thorax, legs, adbomen,
palpi and frons typical of the genus. Upper
Surface of the Wings: Area from wing bases
to submargins bright light blue with brown
marginal borders (1-2 mm). No scent brand
distal in discal area. Marginal line obscured
by the dark fuscious suffusion. Under
Surface of the Wings: As on males but with
gray suffusion basal in the basal disc and in
the postmedial areas more intense and with
profuse gray fringe along anal area. Length
of Forewing: 13.0 mm (allotype).
Male Genitalia (...): Valvae caudal of
the saccus clear, of moderate width and
widely shouldered; consequent caudal
extension very elongate (at least twice caudal
expanse of the bilobed area) and irregularly
edged. Valvae, in lateral views, narrowly
tapered and with a rounded bilobed area.
Cornuti wide and disclike, sharply serrate at
terminal edge.
Female Genitalia (...): Breadth of the
lamellae equalling or exceeding length of
ductus bursae; lamella postvaginalis
convoluted into three marked layers along
ventrum. Signa broad-based with one robust
and elongate spine aside a shorter diminutive
one».
