The Elachistidae material collected during the joint Soviet-Finnish entomological expeditions to the Altai mountains, Baikal region and Tianshan mountains of the previous USSR is listed. Previous literature dealing with the Elachistidae in Central Asia is reviewed. A total of 40 species are dealt with, including descriptions of five new species: Stephensia jalmarella sp. n. (Altai), Elachista baikalica sp. n. (Baikal), E. talgarella sp. n. (southern Kazakhstan), E. esmeralda sp. n. (southern Kazakhstan) and E. filicornella sp. n. (southern Kazakhstan). The previously unknown females of E. bimaculata Parenti, 1981 and Biselachista zonulae Sruoga, 1992 are described.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Bythotrephes is described based on material collected in the mountain lakes of Tyva Republic (Southern Siberia, Russia). The representatives of the new species are especially close to those of B. longimanus having long tl I, straight caudal process, and only two pairs of claws on postabdomen and caudal process, respectively. At the same time, the new species is, on average, smaller with shorter caudal process and fairly long apical setae of second endopodital segment of the thoracic limbs of first pair (tl I). Supplemental data on morphology, taxonomy, and geographic distribution of other species of the genus, e.g., B. arcticus, B. cederströmii, B. brevimanus, and B. lilljeborgi, are presented. For B. cederströmii, in particular, females of first generation hatched from resting eggs are described for the first time. Classification of the genus is discussed and an updated key for species and a hybrid form is presented. The highest species richness of the genus, observed within the Scandinavian Peninsula and in the north of European Russia, may indicate the central region of primary speciation which generally coincides with the region of the last Quaternary maximum glaciation. The isolated occurrence of three species, B. longimanus, B. transcaucasicus, and B. centralasiaticus sp. nov. on the southern border of the genus’ range, in pre-Alpine and mountain lakes of Europe, Transcaucasia, and Southern Siberia (Tyva) and isolated localities of B. arcticus in Northern Kazakhstan, could also be due to the effect of glaciation(s). Regarding the origin of the genus Bythotrephes, it is hypothesized that it occurred in pre-Pleistocene time in the ancient Ponto-Caspian basin, experiencing large-scale transgressions, where the intensive radiation of ancestral Onychopoda probably took place.

The name Athaumasta was introduced by Hampson (1906) as replacement for Thaumasta Staudinger, 1871 (nec. Gistl). Athaumasta is a small Bryophilinae genus found in southern Siberia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russian Far East, Korea and China. By the male genitalia structure Athaumasta is very close to Victrix Staudinger and Bryophila Treitschke, but characteristic forewing pattern, strong pectinate of male antennae, narrow and dorso-lateral flattened uncus, and distally narrowed and apically pointed valvae are characteristic for the genus. The genus includes six described species, one of which has recently been described (Volynkin 2012), and many species are still undescribed. The species cortex Alphéraky, 1887 was incorrectly included to Athaumasta by Poole (1989), and transferred to the genus Parvispinia Babics, Kononenko & Saldaitis by Babics et al. (2012). The species miltina Püngeler, 1902 distributed in the Tien Shan mountain massif (Püngeler 1902; Lehmann & Bergmann 2005) has appearance very close to Athaumasta, but male antennae much less pectinate (Fig. 12). It was treated by Poole (1989) and Lehmann & Bergmann (2005) as a member of the genus Oederemia Hampson (= Victrix), but was not mentioned by Fibiger et al. (2009) in the checklist of Palaearctic taxa of the genus. The male genitalia of miltina (Fig. 22) differ from those of all other Athaumasta by the broad uncus, apically broadened and rounded valvae, and presence of a torn in cornutus in vesica, whereas in Athaumasta uncus is narrow, valvae are apically narrowed and pointed, cornutus is plate-like or absent. By the male genitalia structure, miltina resembles the genus Victrix, subgenus Rasihia Koҫak, but have broader uncus and strongly different appearance. Thus, the genus position of miltina is unclear. Here we treated miltina as a member of Athaumasta (sensu lato), but its genus position will be revised later in a further revision of Eurasiatic Bryophilinae.

Neanderthals were once widespread across Europe and western Asia. They also penetrated into the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia, but the geographical origin of these populations and the timing of their dispersal have remained elusive. Here we describe an archaeological assemblage from Chagyrskaya Cave, situated in the Altai foothills, where around 90,000 Middle Paleolithic artifacts and 74 Neanderthal remains have been recovered from deposits dating to between 59 and 49 thousand years ago (age range at 95.4% probability). Environmental reconstructions suggest that the Chagyrskaya hominins were adapted to the dry steppe and hunted bison. Their distinctive toolkit closely resembles Micoquian assemblages from central and eastern Europe, including the northern Caucasus, more than 3,000 kilometers to the west of Chagyrskaya Cave. At other Altai sites, evidence of earlier Neanderthal populations lacking associated Micoquian-like artifacts implies two or more Neanderthal incursions into this region. We identify eastern Europe as the most probable ancestral source region for the Chagyrskaya toolmakers, supported by DNA results linking the Neanderthal remains with populations in northern Croatia and the northern Caucasus, and providing a rare example of a long-distance, intercontinental population movement associated with a distinctive Paleolithic toolkit.
