03DD3C5FFFA4FFA6FF619325699FFC9C.taxon	description	Includes three species (Dodia albertae, D. verticalis, D. tarandus) characterized by a forewing pattern of transverse dark and light bands and lines. Male genitalia have a narrow valva with two slender processes at the apex. Apical diverticulum in the vesica with a crest-like row of few spines. All species are clearly in the same clade on the neighbor-joining tree of Dodia species based on sequences of COI fragment, evidence of their monophyly (Fig. 1).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFA5FFA7FF6191E66A46F90B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Externally similar to Dodia tarandus and D. verticalis. It differs from D. tarandus in the coloration of the basal and antemedial areas of the forewing, which are never paler than the outer half of the wing (Figs 2 E, F); male valva apex with two short, blunt or weakly pointed processes; juxta wider than long; everted vesica about as long as aedeagus (Fig. 5 D) (Schmidt & Macaulay 2009). It is distinguished from D. verticalis by oblique transverse light bands on the forewings. Among the Asian species of the genus Dodia, only D. zhenya sp. n. is somewhat similar to D. albertae, differing from it in the character of the wing pattern and the structure of the male genitalia (see diagnosis of D. zhenya sp. n.).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFA5FFA7FF6191E66A46F90B.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Holarctic boreal species. In Eurasia it is distributed in the Asian part of Russia, where it is found in the Polar Urals, Siberia (Southern Taymyr, Altai, Transbaikalye, Yakutia) and the Far East (north of the Amur Oblast’, northern and central parts of the Khabarovsk Krai, Magadan Oblast’) (Tshistjakov & Lafontaine 1984; Tshistjakov 1988; Dubatolov 2010; Šumpich et al. 2020). Finds from northern Mongolia are also known (Tshistjakov 1988). In North America it is widespread from Alaska and the Yukon eastward to Labrador and central Quebec (Tshistjakov & Lafontaine 1984; Tshistjakov 1988; Schmidt & Macaulay 2009).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFA5FFA7FF6191E66A46F90B.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. Inhabits a wide range of boreal habitats, such as mountain larch forests, sphagnum bogs, screes in the upper part of the forest belt, wet subarctic and subalpine tundra. Flight period from mid-June to mid-July. Moths are active both day and nighttime. In the southeastern part of the species’ range in Asia (Dusse-Alin Range), males were mostly active at night and well attracted to different light sources; females flew only during the day. The life cycle is probably two years. In the Dusse-Alin Range, adults are recorded only in even years. Larval biology and host plants are not known. The female lays several dozen golden-orange, shiny eggs in a single layer. Under laboratory conditions, the emerging larvae were offered Taraxacum leaves, which they reluctantly ate, and by the end of the first instar, all had died. Taxonomic notes. Considering the high variability in size, wing coloration and structure of the apical part of the valva throughout the range of the species, it does not seem expedient to distinguish the subspecies Dodia albertae atra, which some authors have given for Siberia and the Far East (Dubatolov 2010, 2019). Minimal differences (about 0 – 0.2 %) in p-distance in the mtDNA barcoding region (COI) between specimens from different localities in the Far East and North America also support this (BOLD; Table 2). Therefore, we agree with the position of the researchers who consider D. a. atra Bang-Haas, 1912 as a synonym of D. a. albertae Dyar, 1901 (Tshistjakov & Lafontaine 1984; Tshistjakov 1988; Schmidt & Macaulay 2009).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

Notes. The taxonomic status of Dodia albertae eudiopta needs to be clarified using of molecular genetic data. As some authors rightly point out (Schmidt & Macaulay 2009; Šumpich et al. 2020), the size and coloration of the wings, as well as the shape of the apical part of the valva, vary greatly among specimens from populations in different regions of Siberia, the Far East, and North America (Fig. 5 D).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

The male genitalia have broad valves with lobed apical processes. Previously, these taxa were considered to be subspecies of a single species, D. kononenkoi Tshistjakov & Lafontaine, 1984. All species have similar ecological features, inhabiting rocky screes in the upper part of the forest belt and mountain tundra. In the future, more complete molecular genetic data should be used to determine whether these species are monophyletic.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

In male genitalia, apical processes broad, rounded, equal in size or the lower one larger. Notch between processes narrow, rather deep. Uncus is shorter and broader than in D. transbaikalensis and D. sikhotensis (Figs 3 A, B). The aedeagus is thickened distally. The vesica is simple, elongated, and usually has two clusters of spicular cornuti at the base and at the apex (see Fig. 9 in Tshistjakov & Lafontaine 1984, and Fig. 12 in Rekelj & Česanek 2009). A male from the Suntar-Khayata Range has two clusters of cornuti near the apex of the vesica (Fig. 3 B). Genetic data.

The Dodia kononenkoi type series includes specimens from two continents. However, it is inappropriate to distinguish a possible separate North American subspecies, given the high similarity in habitus and genital structure, and the minimal differences in COI gene sequences. The southern limit of the species distribution in the Russian Far East needs to be clarified. The indication of Dodia kononenkoi for the Myaochan Range from the Gorny village in the Lower Amur Basin (Dubatolov 2009) (Fig. 6), based on a low-resolution photos of a single female initially identified as « Dodia spec. » and D. albertae in Ivinskis & Saldaitis (2001, 2004), needs further verification.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFA9FFA8FF6193C26D38FEC9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In habitus Dodia transbaikalensis is almost indistinguishable from D. kononenkoi and D. sikhotensis. In general, the ground color of the wings is slightly lighter than that of D. kononenkoi, sometimes with a slightly expressed dark dusting at the base of the forewing, along the discal vein and along the outer margin (Fig 2 G). The moths are usually larger than D. kononenkoi. In the male genitalia, the processes of the apex of the valva are large, angular, widely spaced, with a wide and shallow notch between them. The size of the upper process varies, being smaller than or equal to the lower process. Costal margin of valva with broad rounded prominence. Aedeagus broadened towards apex. Vesica short, very broad, encircled by a long band of densely placed spicular cornuti (Figs 3 D, E). Genetic data. Despite strong external similarities with D. kononenkoi, the two species have significant differences in COI p-distance, 4.47 – 4.65 % (according to records, including private data, in BOLD). From the Tunkinsky Range sample collected in 2011, we were able to obtain a short fragment of the COI gene sequence of 234 bp due to the old age of the material. This fragment shows 99.44 – 100 % similarity with BOLD’s private data on D. transbaikalensis and strong differences with D. kononenkoi.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFA9FFA8FF6193C26D38FEC9.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. Inhabits the upper part of the forest belt and mountain tundra at altitudes of 1600 – 2300 m. Flight period from mid-June to mid-August. Larval biology and host plants are unknown. Notes. This taxon was described as a subspecies of Dodia kononenkoi, then Dubatolov (2010) gave it species status. Considering the differences in the structure of the male genitalia and the large COI p-distance between them, the species status of D. transbaikalensis is not in doubt. Mention of two specimens from which D. kononenkoi transbaikalensis Tshistjakov, 1988 was described is included in Dubatolov’s article (1990), where they are referred to as « D. kononenkoi Tshist. et Lafont. ». A drawing of the genitalia of a male from Khamar-Daban, which became the holotype of D. kononenkoi transbaikalensis, is also given there. Details of the genitalia structure are consistent with our specimens from the Tunkinskie Goltsy Range. In the figure of the aedeagus, even with the vesica not everted, the characteristic features of this taxon are recognizable. The holotype is kept in ZISP (Dubatolov 1996), not in the Biological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now known as the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, SB RAS), as stated in the original description. It is also noted that the paratype from the Yablonevyi Range (Saranakan Mountain) is kept in the FSCEATB collection. We did not find it there. The distribution of Dodia transbaikalensis needs to be clarified. It remains to be determined whether or not this species is sympatric with the externally similar D. kononenkoi in Transbaikalia.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFAAFFA8FF61901E6BDBF896.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dodia sikhotensis has almost uniformly colored brownish-gray wings and body, which are usually slightly lighter than those of D. kononenkoi and D. transbaikalensis. Some specimens may have shadows on the forewings that are slightly different from the ground color (Figs 2 K, L). Upper distal process of valva very broad, several times wider than lower one; lower process is small, triangular in shape. As in D. transbaikalensis, the notch between the processes is wide and shallow. Aedeagus thick, almost straight, widened at apex. Vesica short, broad, sac-shaped, with small apical diverticulum. At the base and apex of the vesica there are two elongated perpendicular patches of densely placed spicular cornuti. Several small cornuti are located on the apical diverticulum and between the patches (Figs 3 F, G).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFAAFFA8FF61901E6BDBF896.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. Occurs in spruce forests at the upper limit of the forest belt, dwarf pine forests (Pinus pumila (Parl.) Regel) and mountain tundra up to 1700 m altitude in the southern part of the Sikhote-Alin range. In the north, in the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve, moths are collected in mountain coniferous broadleaf forests. Flight period from late June to early August. Adults are active both at night and during the day. Larval biology and host plants are unknown (Tshistjakov 1988, 1994). Notes. This taxon was described as a subspecies of the Holarctic species Dodia kononenkoi. Subsequently, in Dubatolov’s paper it was proposed to provisionally consider it as a species before studying the everted vesica: « the specific status is provisional only: unfortunately, while preparation of the description the vesica was not everted and it is impossible to study its structure » (Dubatolov 2010). The structure of the genitalia (including the vesica) and the isolation from other populations confirm the species status of D. sikhotensis. Molecular genetic studies of this taxon are needed for definitive conclusions. Currently, two male paratypes of Dodia kononenkoi sikhotensis Tshistjakov, 1988, collected in Tsamo-Dynza Mountain, are kept in the FSCEATB collection without appropriate labels (Fig. 2 L). In the original description of this taxon, Tsamo-Dynza Mountain is given as Golets Mountain, to which it was renamed in 1972. These two males were provided by me with red labels with the text « PARATYPUS ♂ / Dodia kononenkoi sikhotensis Tshistjakov, 1988 / E. S. Koshkin des., 2024 ».

03DD3C5FFFABFFAEFF6194436C16FEB1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The original description states that the moths are distinguished from the nominate subspecies by « more intense dusting of dark, almost black scales and relatively narrow, almost twice as long as wide, forewings » (Tshistjakov 1988). In fact, the expression of these features in Magadan specimens varies greatly. Some moths are indistinguishable in coloration and forewing shape from those collected from different localities in Siberia and the southern Far East (Figs 2 A, B, C). Compared to the nominate subspecies, the apical part of the valva is narrower, and the processes are longer and narrower and almost equal in size.

I have provided these specimens with red labels with the text « PARATYPUS ♂ / Dodia diaphana arctica Tshistjakov, 1988 / E. S. Koshkin des., 2024 ». The status of this taxon needs to be clarified. BOLD has a COI sequence of a specimen of D. d. arctica from the Magadan Oblast’ (BOLD sequence ID TIPSY 574 - 12), which differs greatly from specimens from the mountains of Southern Siberia and the south of the Far East (7 % p-distance). If this is not a mistake and further molecular genetic studies confirm these differences, this should indicate the species status of D. d. arctica Tshistjakov, 1988.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

The new species has light-colored wings with a distinctive pattern of transverse dark bands and spots on the forewings, which differ from other species whose wings have either uniform coloration (Dodia kononenkoi, D. sikhotensis, D. transbaikalensis, D. maja, D. diaphana) or weakly expressed elements of pattern (D. sazonovi). Dodia zhenya sp. n. differs from D. albertae and D. tarandus by light ground color of wings with a specific dark pattern, including a well-developed discal spot on the forewing, and the absence of a subapical pale dash. In D. albertae and D. tarandus the ground color of the forewings is dark, with light diffuse wavy transverse bands and dusting of light scales; the apex of the forewing with pale dash, and the discal spot is almost not developed. The new species differs from D. verticalis by the pattern of the forewing: the presence of a broad dark band along the outer margin, the shape of the other dark transverse bands, and the developed discal spot. The apex of the valva of D. zhenya resembles D. maja, but the upper process is more distinct, and the lower one is more rounded. Vesica has a structure partially similar to D. albertae. It has a similar apical diverticulum with a crest-like row of 10 – 12 spines and a sack-shaped broad dorsal diverticulum from which a long finger-like process extends almost perpendicularly to the side. This finger-like process of the diverticulum is absent in any other species of the genus Dodia. The vesica short, about 1 / 2 the length of the aedeagus.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFADFFB3FF6191E76D7AFDB5.taxon	description	Description. Adult. Male (Figs 4 A – G). Wingspan 23.5 – 27.5 mm (26.5 mm in holotype; average 25.8 mm, n = 43). Forewing length 12 – 14.5 mm (14 mm in holotype; average 13.4 mm). Head small and rounded, gray-brown. Eyes small, round and widely spaced. Antennae short, filiform, ventrally ciliated, covered with grayish brown scales. Palpi very short. Proboscis reduced. Thorax and abdomen slender, pale gray. Forewing broad, translucent, covered with light gray hair-like and dark paddle-shaped scales. Forewings pale gray with dark pattern. Outer margin with wide brown band, always pierced by light streak between veins CuA 2 and 1 A + 2 A. Discal spot large, rectangular, brown. From its lower edge runs thin, wavy, discontinuous brown band. Same bands in medial and subbasal fields. Basal field with dark strokes. The degree of expression of the dark elements of the pattern significantly varies in different specimens. Hindwing uniformly light gray, slightly darker at margins. Cilia light gray on fore and hindwings. Male genitalia (Figs 5 A, B, C). Uncus broad at the base and constricted toward the apex. Costal margin of valva nearly straight. The apex of the valva is divided into two short processes, with a small notch between them. The lower process is broad and rounded; the upper process is several times shorter and thinner than the lower one. Juxta oval, wider than long. Aedeagus is short, slightly widened at the base and curved medially. Vesica is short, about half the length of the aedeagus, sac-shaped, with two diverticula. The apical diverticulum is rounded, with a crest-like row of 10 – 12 spines. The base of the dorsal diverticulum is broad, with a long, finger-like process extending from it in an almost perpendicular direction to the side. Female. Unknown. Genetic data. According to the mtDNA barcoding region (COI), Dodia zhenya sp. n. is closest to D. transbaikalensis, differing from it by 2.8 – 3.4 % p-distance according to private data in BOLD (voucher specimens of D. transbaikalensis MTah 263 and Mtah 469). The barcode of the new species differs from that of D. sazonovi and D. maja by 3.2 – 4.1 % p-distance, and by 4.3 – 6.8 % from other species of the genus Dodia. Intrapopulation barcode ranges of the new species are up to 0.65 % (Fig. 1; Table 2). Dodia zhenya sp. n. is distinguished from other Dodia species by six unique positions on COI: 32 (A), 64 (C), 206 (C), 505 (C), 508 (G), and 598 (G). They are identical in all but one specimen (GenBank accession PP 473478) has 508 (A), as do other species of the genus. This sample also has a C at position 595, which differentiates it from other Dodia specimens, including the four specimens of the new species (they have a T at this position). The other Dodia species have different nucleotides at these positions: 32 (G), 64 (T), 206 (T), 505 (T), 508 (A), and 598 (A).	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFADFFB3FF6191E76D7AFDB5.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. The population of Dodia zhenya sp. n. is local in the northern part of the Bureinsky Range, although it is quite numerous. The moths inhabit rocky slopes (kurums) with southern and southwestern exposure along an unused mountain road, in mountain tundra and dwarf pine (Pinus pumila (Parl.) Regel) forests at altitudes of 1350 – 1600 m (Fig. 4 H). Males fly fast and are active only in sunny weather from 11.00 to 18.00. In flight the moths are almost white. At night, the moths were not attracted to light sources. A single male in the Dusse-Alin Range was collected together with males of two other species of this genus (D. albertae Dyar, 1901 and D. diaphana (Eversmann, 1848) at night on a light source in a mountain larch forest at an altitude of about 900 m. It is very likely that this specimen of D. zhenya sp. n. was blown down from the nearby slopes with mountain tundra. Its attraction to the light source is coincidental, as this night was very stuffy before the storm. Therefore, many species of butterflies and moths with diurnal activity were attracted to the lamp that night. Special searches for the D. zhenya sp. n. populations in the Dusse-Alin Mountains have not yet been successful. Adults fly from late June to mid-July. The preimaginal stages and larval host plants are unknown. Females have not been found despite active searching. They may be brachypterous and unable to fly.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.

03DD3C5FFFADFFB3FF6191E76D7AFDB5.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Currently, Dodia zhenya sp. n. is known only from the northern part of the Bureinsky and Dusse-Alin mountain ranges in the central part of the Khingan-Bureya Highlands (Russia, Far East, Khabarovsk Krai) (Fig. 6). It is possible that this species will be found in other high mountain systems of the Amur Basin in the future.	en	Koshkin, Evgeny S.
