C2679A094176F569F7AA7EFBFBECC652.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. V. muscula differs clearly from the other species of the genus in the poorly modified blurred pattern of the fore wing (in the other species, the reticulated patters is distinctively expressed on the fore wing). Externally, the species is most close to the south-Iranian species V. senganensis (Daniel, 1949), from which it differs in the male genital structure: the shorter membranous distal ends of the valves, the smaller juxta and the shorter phallus.	en	Yakovlev, R.

C2679A094175F568F7AA7F3AFCE4C138.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. The new species is named after the prominent British entomo- logist, Indian Forestry administrator, Thomas Reid Davys Bell (1863 – 1948). He gave his entire collection of insects to the NHMUK. It had 3000 specimens of butterflies, 12000 moths, 1900 Coleoptera, 1720 Hymenoptera and 20 Orthoptera. Most of Bell’s specimens originated from southern Pakistan and south-western India. lotype (NHMUK); 2, 3 – specimens from Baigacum (ZISP); 4 – V. belli sp. n., holotype (NHMUK); 5 – V. gallagheri sp. n., holotype (NHMUK).	en	Yakovlev, R.
