Abstract

This work summarizes current knowledge about the occurrence of Sophronia Hübner, [1825] species in the Altai Mountains. Previously, two species of the genus have been recorded, both two from the Russian Altai. Sophronia huiagaaisp. nov. is described from the southern Altai Mts in Mongolia. No Sophronia species is known from the Chinese and Kazakh parts of the mountains. Photographs of moths and genitalia of both sexes are provided for S. huiagaaisp. nov.S. chilonella (Treitschke, 1833) is recorded from the Altai Mts for the first time.
