Abstract

Two new species of the genus Isochlora Staudinger, 1882 are described: I. hreblayi Volynkin, Tóth, Titov & Saldaitis, sp. n. (western Mongolia) and I. kozlovi Volynkin, Titov, Matov & Saldaitis, sp. n. (Qinghai Province, China). The type species of the genus-group names Chamyla Staudinger, 1900 and Grumia Alphéraky, 1892 (I. arctomys Alphéraky, 1897 and I. flora (Alphéraky, 1892), respectively) are examined, and their synonymy with Isochlora is revised. The synonymy of Chamyla idia Staudinger, 1900 with Isochlora arctomys Alphéraky, 1897 is revised as junior synonymies. Lectotypes are designated for Isochlora arctomys Alphéraky, 1897, Chamyla idia Staudinger, 1900 and Grumia flora Alphéraky, 1892. Isochlora intricans (Alphéraky, 1882) is reported from Kazakhstan for the first time. Adults as well as male and female genitalia are illustrated.
