Abstract:

"The genus Sphingonaepiopsis Wallengren, 1858, in the Palaearctic is reviewed. In addition to the two presently recognized species, Sphingonaepiopsis gorgoniades (Hübner, [1819]) and Sphingonaepiopsis kuldjaensis (Graeser, 1892), two further species are described on the basis of differences in the habitus and male genitalia: Sphingonaepiopsis asiatica sp. nov. and Sphingonaepiopsis gurkoi sp. nov."
