Pseudolathra tichomirovae BOHAČ, 1988 (Map 1)

Pseudolathra (Allolathra) tichomirovae Bohač, 1988: 438 f.

Comment:

The original description is based on a male holotype and a female paratype from “Kyzil Kala by Kurga Tube” in Tajikistan (Bohač 1988).

Material examined:

Pakistan: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Pakistan, N.W.F.P., 7 km SE Peshawar, ca. 33°58'N 71°40'E, arable land, at light, 14.VII.2011, leg. Zubair (cAss) .

Diagnosis:

In external characters highly similar to P. unicolor and P. himalayana, but on average slightly larger and of darker coloration (head blackish-brown to blackish); reliably distinguished only by the male primary and secondary sexual characters. The distinctive aedeagus is illustrated by Bohač (1988).

Distribution and natural history:

This species was originally described from Tajikistan. The examined specimens represent the first record since the original description and a new country record from Pakistan (Map 1). They were collected with a light trap, together with 14 specimens of P. himalayana .
