A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS LOPHOTERGES HAMPSON. l 906FROM IRAN L. MARI ANNAE SP. N. LEPIDOPTER A. NOCTU IDAE.
INTRODUCTIONA councii meet ing of the SEL Societas Europaeae Lepidopterologica) held in l992 at the ho me of Dr SIGBERT WAGENER, Bochoit, Germany, provided theauthor with the opportunity to look at his large collection of Lepidoptera. The
Noctu idae were of particular interest as many of them were collected frona localities in Tui key and Iran. Among them was a stiori series of a LOPhotergeS species si ona Iran. Dr LASZLO RONKAY. who is currently revising this genus, was ShΟwnthe specimens, and he immediate ly confirmed that it was an undescribed species representing the most easterly member of the L. milliere L. hse Gammeri species
