In the male genitalia, two of four dissected specimens of the new species lack the proximal cornutus. This phenomenon was already observed in other genera of Noctuidae belonging to different subfamilies or tribes (e.g., Photedes Lederer, 1857, Conistra Hübner, [1821], Shargacucullia Ronkay &amp; Ronkay, 1992).</p><p>Diagnosis. The forewing length is 14.0–15.0 mm in males and 14.5 mm in the female. Turanica charyna sp. n. (Figs 3–7) can be externally distinguished from its only congener T. heraetica (Püngeler, 1902) (Figs 8–10) by the darker, ochreous brown with grey suffusion forewing ground colour (whereas it is ochreous in T. heraetica), and the more diffuse forewing markings, which are distinct and contrast in T. heraetica . The male genital capsule of the new species (Figs 29, 30) differs from T. heraetica (Figs 31, 32) in the distally broader valva with a slightly longer corona, the somewhat shorter penicular lobe, and the juxta shape: in T. charyna sp. n. it is evenly tapering dorsally and has a very short, denticleshaped medio-ventral protrusion whereas the juxta of T. heraetica is more medially constricted and has a well-protruding broadly triangular ventral section. Compared to T. heraetica, the vesica of T. charyna sp. n. is somewhat shorter, has a narrower distal section, and its proximal cornutus is situated more distally. In the female genitalia, the new species (Fig. 43) differs from T. heraetica (Fig. 44) in the markedly more apically dilated apophyses, the more heavily and densely setose 8 th abdominal segment, the broader antevaginal plate with a trapezoidal anterio-medial protrusion (whereas the antevaginal plate of T. heraetica is crescent-shaped), and the somewhat broader and more weakly sclerotised and rugose appendix bursae.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in Southeast Kazakhstan.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Charyn River, in the valley of which the new species is found. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C487CAD97B59734AA2F8B9FBDC9C6F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pseudohadena moldotoo sp. n. (Figs 13, 14) is most externally similar to the Transcaucasian P. pseudamoena (Boursin, 1943) (Fig. 16) but has longer antenna and markedly paler colouration of the body and both wings. Another similar species is P. leucochlora L. Ronkay, Varga &amp; Gyulai, 2002 (Fig. 15) described from Turkmenistan, from which the new species differs in the longer rami of the male antenna, the narrower forewing with a less elongate and more rounded apex, and the darker, greyish-ochreous colouration. In the male genital capsule, P. moldotoo sp. n. (Figs 33, 34) is distinguished from P. pseudamoena (Fig. 36) and P. leucochlora (Fig. 35) by the medially narrower valva with a somewhat shorter but apically broader cucullus. In the vesica of the new species, the medial diverticulum is somewhat longer and broader than in both similar congeners.</p><p>The female is unknown.</p><p>Distribution.

The forewing length is 18.0–19.5 mm in males and 21.0 mm in the female. Calamia zhetysu sp. n. (Figs 17–19) is externally similar to C. variabilis Gyulai, 2021 (Figs 20–22) recently described from Kyrgyzstan. Both species are polymorphic and differ only in the reniform stigma, which is somewhat paler in the new species. Compared to the sympatric C. tridens (Hufnagel, 1766) (Figs 23, 24), the green form of C. zhetysu sp. n. (Fig. 19) has a more elongate forewing and developed forewing markings. The male genitalia structures are extremely uniform in the genus Calamia, and C. zhetysu sp. n. (Figs 37, 38) is distinguished from C. variabilis (Figs 39, 40) and C. tridens (Figs 41, 42) in the somewhat longer cucullus with a longer corona, and the different shape of the juxta: in the new species, it has a markedly longer and broader ventral section than in C. variabilis, and, unlike in C. tridens, has a broader dorsal and a markedly longer ventral sections. Additionally, the uncus of C. zhetysu sp. n. is somewhat apically broader than in C. variabilis and has a slightly narrower proximal section than in C. tridens . The vesica of C. zhetysu sp. n. is similar to C. variabilis and has a considerably narrower main chamber than in C. tridens . The female genitalia of the three species are very similar and C. zhetysu sp. n. (Fig. 45) can be distinguished from the congeners in the laterally thicker antevaginal plate. In addition, in the new species, the ductus bursae is posteriorly slightly broader than in C. variabilis (Fig. 46) and anteriorly narrower than in C. tridens (Fig. 47), and the corpus bursae is shorter than in C. variabilis and narrower than in C. tridens .</p><p>Distribution and bionomics. The new species is currently known from two localities in Southeast Kazakhstan. It occurs on low and hot steppe slopes with rock outcrops (Fig. 49).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Kazakh ‘Жетісу’ (romanized: Jetısu) meaning Heptopotamia (Semirechye), a historical region in Central Asia corresponding mostly to the southeastern part of modern Kazakhstan. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.</p><p>Acknowledgements</p><p>The second author expresses his sincere thanks to Wolfram Mey (MfN, Berlin) for his kind help during the visits to the collection under his care.
