Type material. Holotype ( Figs 13 View Figures 11–16 , 33 View Figures 33–36 ): male, “ 27.IX.2013, | Kyrgyzstan, | Moldo-Too Range , | 6.5 km E of Kyzyl-Korgon, | 41°42'53''N | 74°16'34''E, | 1550m, local collector leg.” / “Slide | AV9636 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” ( CAV). GoogleMaps

Paratypes. KYRGYZSTAN: 9 males , same data as in holotype, gen. slide No.: AV9123 ♂ ( CAV) .

Diagnosis. The forewing length is 18.0–19.5 mm in males. Pseudohadena moldotoo sp. n. ( Figs 13, 14 View Figures 11–16 ) is most externally similar to the Transcaucasian P. pseudamoena (Boursin, 1943) ( Fig. 16 View Figures 11–16 ) but has longer antenna and markedly paler colouration of the body and both wings. Another similar species is P. leucochlora L. Ronkay, Varga & Gyulai, 2002 ( Fig. 15 View Figures 11–16 ) described from Turkmenistan, from which the new species differs in the longer rami of the male antenna, the narrower forewing with a less elongate and more rounded apex, and the darker, greyish-ochreous colouration. In the male genital capsule, P. moldotoo sp. n. ( Figs 33, 34 View Figures 33–36 ) is distinguished from P. pseudamoena ( Fig. 36 View Figures 33–36 ) and P. leucochlora ( Fig. 35 View Figures 33–36 ) by the medially narrower valva with a somewhat shorter but apically broader cucullus. In the vesica of the new species, the medial diverticulum is somewhat longer and broader than in both similar congeners.

The female is unknown.

Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in the inner Tien Shan Mountains (central Kyrgyzstan).

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Moldo Too Range, where the new species is found. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.
