3.1. Typenmaterial

Puplesis & Diškus (2003: 180) beschrieben die Art nach einem einzigen Falter: “TAJIKISTAN: about 170 km SE Dushanbe, Tavil'dara (= Tovil Dora), on Betula turkestanica, sample No. 4234, 13.vii.1991 (Puplesis & Diškus) 1♂ [holotype, genitalia slide No. AD 0375] (VPU)”. Einen zweiten Falter (♀) schlossen die Autoren aus der Typenserie aus: “Single females of S. pamirbetulae sp. n. and S. betulifoliae sp. n. have been reared together and associated with males by external features. Females are excluded from type series as we cannot be absolutely certain of their correct association.”
