( Figs 20, 21 View Figures 16–30 , 56, 57 View Figures 54–57 )
Type material. Holotype ( Figs 20 View Figures 16–30 , 56 View Figures 54–57 ): male, ― 17.V.2012, W Mongolia, Hovd aimak, Mongolian Altai Mts., Hundijn-Gol river valley ( Bodonchijn-Gol river basin), h= 1800 m, 46˚07.473‘ N, 92˚30.752‘ E, Yakovlev R. V. leg.‖, GenBank voucher MN023153 , slide AV4924 ♂ (Coll. NHMUK).
Paratype. 1 male, same data as in the holotype, GenBank voucher MN023152 , slide AV1445 ♂ Volynkin (Coll. CAV) .
Diagnosis. Forewing length 14–15 mm in males (15 mm in the holotype). Athaumasta etugen is a closest relative of A. arida . Externally, A. etugen ( Figs 20, 21 View Figures 16–30 ) differs from Mongolian specimens of A. arida ( Fig. 19 View Figures 16–30 ) by the broader forewing with less oblique tornus. The male genitalia of A. etugen ( Figs 56, 57 View Figures 54–57 ) differ clearly from those of A. arida ( Figs 54, 55 View Figures 54–57 ) by the much broader harpe with convex outer margin, the more convex ventral margin of valva, the longer broad section of vesica and the larger cornutus.
Female unknown.
Molecular data. COI 5‘ sequences of both specimens of A. etugen were compared with nine specimens of A. arida from three localities (including one sympatric specimen) and specimens of A. expressa , A. kuchinichi , A. argillacea and A. tarbagata as well. The infraspecific variation of COI 5‘ sequences of A. etugen is 0.00%. The distance between specimens of A. etugen and A. arida is 1.39–2.03%. It is worth to note that the distance between specimens of A. etugen and the Mongolian specimens of A. arida (including the sympatric one) is higher (2.01–2.03%) that that between A. etugen and the specimens of A. arida from the Russian Altai (1.39–1.42%). The distance between specimens of A. etugen and A. expressa is 4.27–4.77%; that between A. etugen and A. kuchinichi is 4.27%; that between A. etugen and A. argillacea is 3.46%; that between A. etugen and A. tarbagata is 4.10–4.44%. The COI 5‘ sequences of A. arida are characterized by the combination of three character states unique for the genus, 100(C), 205(C) and 472(G), and one character state unique for the species-group, 292(T) ( Table 3).
Distribution. Athaumasta etugen is known so far only from its type locality in West Mongolia. In its type locality, A. etugen is sympatric with A. arida . The species inhabits stony semi-deserts at medium altitudes (1800 m) ( Fig. 79 View Figure 79 ).
Etymology. ―Etugen‖ is the goddess of the earth in Mongolian mythology.
