Male hypopyg — Figs. 1 and 2. 3(4). Mesonotal praescutum brown striped. Wings without brownish-black clouds in the cells R2 and M. Male hypopyg — Fig. 1. Terra typica — Nakhichevan Autonomous SSR . . .. . . L. (A.) minima S a v. sp. n. 4(3). Mesonotal praescutum unstripped. Wings with brownish-black clouds in the cells R2 and M. Male hypopyg — Fig. 2.
