Photo #10953: Polymixis trisignata

The color of hind wings can vary much from very light to dark grey, and females are colored even darker. I didn't boil females. leuconota is not a synonym to latesco, just before these moths from Ukraine were named such. Now the puzzling thig is what's actually in Ukraine? latesco and/or trisignata. :)

No, just wide-open. I went by the color of the hind wings when identifying, P.latesco has light ones (at least, by Klyuchko book "Noctuidae of Ukraine", where leuconota also mentioned as a synonym to latesco), and my item does dark ones (I'll upload tomorrow its wide-open photo; I saw dark hind wings at other websites of trisignata). I might have out-of-date info. Besides, latesco seems to be a transcaspian species, and trisignata is a south-eastern European one which lives also in Ukraine. Alexandr, if you are agree, I'll send you the item for identifying. You're most probably right. Just hind wings are not enough, that should be surely boiled!

Sergey, this item is boiled or not?

Alexandr, I moved comments to the species there, at the species photo page.

Yes, I meant the photo, sorry. In fact, that's rather more complicated, three species, trisignata, latesco, leuconota are "genitalia" ones. Lately some experts began to consider doubtful the very latesco species or its European residency.

Alexandr, you mean the photo?

May be Polymixis latesco, these are "genitalia" species, I boiled mine.
