摘要

A new Ypsolophidae species from Russia (Sarepta) and Kazakhstan (Saisan), Ypsolopha colleaguella sp. n. is described and illustrated. The range of the species and the characteristic features distinguishing it from similar species of the same genus arespecified. The genus Ypsolopha Latreille, 1796 is the most abundantly represented in the family Ypsolophidae (AGASSiz 1985, AGASSiz, FRIESE 1996). Up to now more than 120 species distributed mainly in the Holarctic Region have been described (DUGDALE etal. 1999). In the Palaearctic Region the genus Ypsolopha is represented by about 70 species (ZAGULAJEV 1981, PARK 1983). Nearly all these species are similar in external appearance, as well as in the shape of the male and female genitalia, which are very specific of this genus (MORIUTI 1964,1977, ZAGULAJEV 1981).
