Bidzilya prep. no. 444/16; 1 ♀, Kherson reg., Arabatskaya strelka, Schastlivtsevo, 2.viii.2016, leg. O. Bidzilya, Genitalia slide: O.

Remarks
O. kasmirica resembles externally O. nubilalis (Hübner, 1796) and O. scapulalis (Walker, 1859) but differs from both related species in narrower and more serrated light fascia on the hindwing (Figs 15, 16). Additionally, O. kasmirica can be distinguished from O. scapulalis by the hindtibia which is not thick and hairy in the male (Slamka 2013[1]). The male genitalia of O. kasmirica differ from those of O. scapulalis and O. nubilalis in the bilobed rather than trilobed uncus and the sacculus bears more spines (Figs 17, 19). The female genitalia of O. kasmirica are characterized by a narrow and not wrinkled sternum VIII in contrast to distinctly wrinkled and rather broad sternum VIII in related species (Figs 18, 20). In summary, O. kasmirica can easily be distinguished by the genitalia of both sexes, whereas the separation of two related European species, O. nubilalis and O. scapulalis, remains rather problematic (Slamka 2013[1]: 59).
Distribution
Ukraine, Russia (South Ural, Southern Siberia), Western Kazakhstan (Uralsk), Turkmenistan (ssp. eurasiatica Mutuura & Munroe, 1970), Pakistan, India (ssp. kasmirica) (Slamka 2013[1]). In Ukraine it was known from Dnepropetrovsk region (Kosakevich 1978[2]). It is also found in Crimea (Budashkin 2004[3]).
