Probably Helicoverpa armigera, quite common guest in the salat

thank you very much!

Next species from Kyrgyzstan. All of them were collected on more than 2500m in Tian Shan. Many thanks for you help with identification!

Thanks! In my opinion Cucullia might be also C. duplicata. What do you think about it? Tomorrow I will attach the photo comparing this specimen with C.xeranthemi (origin: Crimea).

Hi, thank you for suggestions. I'm going to check them. By the way - do you have some articles with good quality photos of central-Asian Noctuids?

hi, thank yoi for the reply. It's much bigger than viciae and the wing pattern is different. In my opinion it is not an European species.

Now it's time to do some order in material collected in 2018. After my visit in Kazakhstan I have some identification troubles with several moths. Maybe someone will have knowledge about these species? All of them were collected in late July and early August 2018 in Tien-Shan Mts and Issyk-Kul region. If it's necessary, I can provide complete data. Many thanks for your help.

p.s. at the request of admin, the topic is divided into several parts.

Thank you for explanation. For me it's now just H.hippophaes. If somebody is interested in material to DNA research, I can send legs to analyzing.
With bests

ok, in this link different forms are described, so probably this it it. Thank you very much!

• Only because the larva was similar to H.centralasiae. If H.hippophaes have different forms of caterpillar (also with regular cream-white macula), the answer is clear

Thanks! The caterpillar was looking for a place to pupate, so I don't know the host plant. So in your opinion this is the hybrid hippophaes x centralasiae?

Hi, I have a problem with identifying this moth. The caterpillar was collected in August 2018 and was similar to Hyles centralsiae but the adult's morphology is different. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks!
