Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The taxonomy of the genus Cteipolia Staudinger, 1896 is discussed, the revised check-list of the genus subdivided into species-groups is provided. Two new species are described: Cteipolia aloyani Saldaitis, Dûda, Volynkin & Benedek, sp. n. (SW Armenia) and Cteipolia belyalovi Volynkin, Titov, Saldaitis & Benedek, sp. n. (SE Kazakhstan: Altyn-Emel Range). The hitherto unknown female of Cteipolia mimetica (L. Ronkay, 1995) from Southeast Kazakhstan is illustrated and diagnosed. Adults as well as female and male genitalia of the species considered are illustrated.
