Dodia sazonovi Dubatolov, 1990: 148 View in CoL , fig. 2l. Holotype ♂ (ISEA). Type locality: [USSR, South Siberia], Altai, vicinity of Aktash , 2500–2700 m.

Material examined. 2 ♂, Russia, S. Siberia, Republic of Altai, Kuray Mt. R., NE Aktash vill., 1650–3000 m, 07–12.VI.2022, leg. Anatoly Filippov, Evgeny Filippov ( EKC) .

Diagnosis. Dodia sazonovi differs from other species of the genus in its small size, narrow wings, and more robust thorax and abdomen. The wings are translucent, dark gray; the pattern varies from its almost complete absence to a marked development of light spots and bands, especially in the postmedial and submarginal areas. The tip of the male’s abdomen is yellowish ( Fig. 2H View FIGURE 2 ). Females are brachypterous. In the male genitalia, the costal margin of the valva is sharply curved, the apex of the valva is strongly bifurcated, its upper process is shorter and narrower than the lower one. The everted vesica is simple, short, oblong, with a longitudinal row of about ten tooth-shaped cornuti at the base ( Fig. 3C View FIGURE 3 ).

Distribution. Russia, Southern Siberia: Altai Mountains (Kuraisky Range) and Republic of Tuva (West TannuOla and Tsagan-Shibetu mountains) ( Dubatolov 1990; Ivinskis & Saldaitis 2004; Rekelj & Česanek 2009).

Ecology. The most mountainous species of the genus Dodia , inhabits mountain tundra at altitudes of 1650– 3000 m. Males are active during the day. Females are unable to fly. Females rest under flat stones near cocoons, oviposition is usually two, up to 50 eggs in the first, in the second less. Larval host plant is Dryas ( Rosaceae ). Larvae have also been successfully reared on Taraxacum ( Asteraceae ). Larva gray or flesh-coloured with black warts on each segment. Sides with four warts with short wiry hairs. Dorsum with an axial yellowish line, paramedian warts with long setae (two rows). Larvae hibernate. They probably do not eat in the spring and pupate shortly after the snow melts ( Murzin 2003). Flight period from early June to mid-July.
