Female genitalia ( Fig. 73 ). Genital preparation № OG– 024-2018.

INDIVIDUAL VARIABILITY. Both males ( Figs 1–8 ) and females ( Figs 9–16 ) vary in the number of orange, yellow-orange, yellow or pale yellow scales on the head, thorax, legs and abdomen. Scales on distal margin of tergites 2, 4, 6 and 7 in males and 1, 4 and 6 in females vary from white to pale yellow with bright golden hue. The colouration of the flying and not very fresh specimens is much paler and with less number of orange or orange-yellow scales on the thorax and abdomen. In addition, such specimens are deprived of a large number of yellow-orange to orange scales masking the background colouration of the forewings. Individual size is variable as follows. Males: alar expanse 19.0–22.0 mm, body length 11.0–12.0 mm, forewing 8.3–9.6 mm, antenna 5.6–5.9 mm. Females: alar expanse 17.0–22.0 mm, body length 10.2–12.9 mm, forewing 7.6–9.8 mm, antenna 6.0– 6.3 mm.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. Ch. oxybeliformis , Ch. djakonovi and Ch. ophimontana form a separate and compact group. Phylogenetically this group is very closely related to Ch. annellata species-group, but, unlike it, the species of Ch. oxybeliformis species-group differ quite well from each other in the colour of various parts of the body and wings. Characteristic features of this subgroup are their trophic specialization (their caterpillars feed on the roots of Phlomis herba-venti ), allopatric distribution, and, as the Ch. annellata species-group as a whole, almost complete absence of morphological differences in the genitalia of both males and females.

Ch. oxybeliformis differs from Ch. djakonovi (type locality: Russia, Crimea, Kara Dag) by the colouration of the frons (grey-brown with greenish-bronze sheen and a broad white stripe laterally in male and white to pale yellow-orange with golden-purple hue and a few dark gray-brown scales medially in female of Ch. oxybeliformis , vs. dark brown to black with anthracite sheen and a narrow white stripe laterally in Ch. djakonovi ) and noticeably fewer black scales on the vertex, and by the colouration of the forewing (costal and anal margins, CuA-stem and apical area dark brown with bronze-violet sheen, but densely covered with orange to yellow-orange scales masking background colouration in Ch. oxybeliformis , vs. costal and anal margins, CuA-stem and apical area dark brown with bronze-violet sheen with a few yellow-orange to yellow-orange and light brown scales in Ch. djakonovi ). In general, Ch. djakonovi is darker, with more black scales on the legs and abdomen and bright scales are more yellow (cp. Figs 1–16 with figs 19 and 20 in Gorbunov, 2013).

From Ch. ophimontana (type locality: Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, A a i Buzqov) Ch. oxybeliformis can be distinguished by the colouration of the vertex (vertex orange with an admixture of black scales with greenish sheen medially in male and orange with a few black scales in female of Ch. oxybeliformis vs. black with a few orange scales anteriorly in Ch. ophimontana ). In addition, in Ch. ophimontana all bright scales on the thorax, legs, wings and abdomen not orange or yellow-orange, but lemon-yellow.

From all other species of the Ch. annellata species-group, including those that can be found in habitats of Ch. oxybeliformis or nearby, namely Ch. annellata , Ch. dumonti and Ch. efetovi sp.n., Ch. oxybeliformis is clearly distinguished by the bright orange or orange-yellow colouration of thorax, legs, wings and abdomen (scales on the thorax, legs, wings and abdomen, yellow or yellow-orange in all these species compared).

BIONOMICS. The larval host-plant is Phlomis herba-venti ssp. pungens (Willd.) Maire ex DeFilipps ( Lamiaceae ). The larva lives in the root where it bores a tunnel about 5–9 cm long. It lives during a year and pupates in a cocoon in the upper part of the tunnel. Moths on the wings from the mid June to the mid July. They can be found sitting on ( Figs 77– 78 ) or flying between the host-plants. I have never managed to attract males to artificial sex attractant lures.

HABITAT. Various types of herbaceous steppes with the obligatory presence of the host plant.

DISTRIBUTION. Currently, this species is known to occur in the steppe zone from the left bank of the Dnieper River in the west to north-western Kazakhstan in the east, to the north of the Volgograd region in the north and the Crimean steppe in the south.
