Figs 37 , 57

Dasypolia (s. l.) nivalis Hreblay & Ronkay, 1995: 376, figs 30, 56, 57, 79 (type locality: “ China, Tibet, 4 km S of Karru-Ochen Tso, 85°50'E, 28°32’N, 4850 m ”).

Type material examined.

Holotype (Figs 37 , 57 ): ♂, “ CHINA. TIBET | 4 km S of Karru-Ochen | Tso. 85°50’E, 28°32’N | 4850 m. 30. IX. 1994 | Leg. Márton Hreblay | & Tibor Csővári ” / red framed label “ HOLOTYPUS | Dasypolia nivalis | Hreblay et Ronkay ” / pink label “ gen. prep. HREBLAY | N: 6883 ♂ ” ( MH / HNHM) .

Note.

In the original description, Hreblay and Ronkay (1995) listed a D. ( Tatsipolia ) female specimen as paratype of D. nivalis and illustrated its genitalia. However, as it originates from a non-type locality, its conspecificity to the holotype is doubtful.

Diagnosis.

The forewing length is 13.0 mm in the male holotype. The species is morphologically similar to D. ultramontana sp. nov. and a detailed comparison is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter species.

Distribution.

The species is currently known only from its type locality in Xizang, China.
