756387A9FF80FFB8FF19824CE5B3FD53.taxon	discussion	Remarks. E. cinerea was not included in the catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Russia (Sinev et al. 2022), but it is actually known from Dagestan since its original description. Staudinger (1879) described this species based on several specimens. The author referred to specimens (from collection of J. Lederer), originating from Lebanon (Beirut) and Cyprus, and also to one specimen from Derbent (Dagestan). The range of E. cinerea needs clarification with very desirable revision of this taxon; also, morphological differences between E. cinerea and Eurhodope incompta (Zeller, 1847) are to be studied. In Dagestan, the species inhabits dry stony steppe (Figs 2, 4). In Turkestan Province of Kazakhstan, E. cinerea is a widely distributed and common species which occurs in mountain habitats and also in different types of semi-deserts.	en	Tsvetkov, Eugene (2023): New data on the fauna of pyraloid moths (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea) of Dagestan (Russia).

756387A9FF88FFB1FF1986E5E320FD36.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The status of Mecyna lutulentalis (Lederer, 1858) is questionable. This taxon may refer to a form of M. subsequalis, showing no genitalic differences from the latter species. Slamka (2013) supposed that lutulentalis is a subspecies of M. subsequalis. However, near the village Muni (Fig. 3), we collected several specimens of M. subsequalis and a specimen of typical appearance of M. lutulentalis (Fig. 8).	en	Tsvetkov, Eugene (2023): New data on the fauna of pyraloid moths (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea) of Dagestan (Russia).
