Abstract

The taxonomic status of Bryophila dolopis Hampson, 1908 is discussed. Based on morphological and molecular data we prove that this taxon is a good species. The description and diagnosis of this species are given. Distribution ranges of two closely related species, B. dolopis and B. felina (Eversmann, 1852), are described: B. dolopis is distributed in Southern Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Iran and China; B felina is distributed in Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Transcaucasia, in western part of Asia Minor and in Lebanon.
