            </p>
            <p> Note. The species was originally placed in the monotypic genus  Tancrea Püngeler, 1898 but Rönkä et al. (2016) synonymised  Tancrea along with six other genera with  Chelis Rambur, [1866] as a result of the phylogenetic analysis based on seven nuclear and one mitochondrial gene markers. </p>
            <p> Bionomics. Males are on wing from May to early July (Gorbunov 2011; Korb et al. 2017), and are active in daytime and evening twilight (Toropov et al. 2023). The female is brachypterous (Püngeler 1898). In East Kazakhstan, the single male individual was found in day time (at approximately 12:00) sitting on the ground in windy conditions (Fig. 2). The habitat in the Zaisan Depression is a clay semidesert, which is sparsely overgrown with species of the genera  Anabasis L.,  Artemisia L.,  Atriplex L.,  Krascheninnikovia Güldenst. ,  Agropyron Gaertn. ,  Cistanche Hoffmg. &amp; Link ,  Iris Tourn. ex L.,  Turgenia Hoffm. ,  Stipa L.,  Taraxacum Wigg. ,  Zygophyllum L.,  Allium L.,  Astragalus L.,  Tulipa L.,  Cousinia Cass. ,  Tragopogon L.,  Scorzonera L., etc. (Fig. 3). In Southeast and West Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, the species is found in sandy deserts and semi-deserts (Dubatolov 1991; Gorbunov 2011) (Fig. 4). The preimaginal stages and food plants are unknown. </p>
            <p>Distribution. The species is currently known from West, Southeast and East Kazakhstan and northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (found in the Aral Depression, valleys of Ili River and its tributaries, and Zaisan Depression) (Püngeler 1898; Dubatolov 1991, 2010; Gorbunov 2011, and present study), Kyrgyzstan (Fergana Range) (Korb et al. 2017), and Turkmenistan (Karakum Desert) (Dubatolov 2010). The new finding in the Kara- Irtysh River Valley is the northernmost known locality of the species (Fig. 14).</p>

            <p> Note. The lectotypes for  politina (male) and subspadiceana (female) were designated by Hreblay (1992), who also illustrated their genital structures as drawings. The photographs of the genitalia of both sexes of this species are illustrated for the first time in the present paper (Figs 9, 10). </p>
            <p> Bionomics. The moths are nocturnal and are on wing in October and April with imagoes of both sexes overwintering. The preimaginal stages and food plants are unknown. The species occurs in river valleys in the natural zones of semi-deserts and deserts, and in most places was observed in or near the thickets of turanga trees (  Populus L. sect. Turanga Bunge). The collecting place in the eastern Zaisan Depression, the dune Bozaygyrkum Sands, has a mosaic vegetation cover. Groups of trees of  Populus alba L. and  Betula microphylla Bunge are hidden in depressions between dunes, where rainwater is retained for a long time. Patches of turanga thickets (  Populus diversifolia Schrenk ) are located separately on leveled areas at the foot of the dunes, almost without admixture of other tree and shrub species. The dominance of  Calligonum rubicundum Bunge and  Hippophae rhamnoides L. is also mosaic. Shrub vegetation occupies the slopes of the dunes and in places forms continuous thickets.  Halimodendron halodendron (Pall.) Schneid. ,  Salix wilhelmsiana M. Bieb. ,  Ribes saxatile Pall. , and  Lonicera tatarica L. are confined to depressions between the dunes and some areas along the road where precipitation accumulates. </p>
            <p>Distribution. Uzbekistan (Staudinger 1888), Southeast and East Kazakhstan (Lehmann et al. 1998; present study). The new finding in the eastern Zaisan Depression is the north-easternmost known locality of the species.</p>
