A poorly-known noctuid species Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) is recorded from North-East Kazakhstan. This is one of the few records of the species since its description, and the first from Kazakhstan. The adults, male and female genitalia and habitat of the species are illustrated, the check-list of species of the genus Pseudohadena Alphéraky, 1889 of Kazakhstan is presented.
Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Kazakhstan, new record.
INTRODUCTION
The Palaearctic genus Pseudohadena Alpheraky, 1889 belongs to the family Noctuidae Latreille, 1809, subfamily Xyleninae Guenee, 1837, tribe Xylenini, subtribe Pseudohadenina Guenee, 1837 (Fibiger & Hacker, 2007). The genus was erected by Alpheraky (1889) for Hadena armata Alpheraky, 1887, its representatives are distributed in Central Asia, Near East and North Africa. Earlier, the genus Pseudohadena treated widely (Ronkay & Varga, 1989; 1993; Yela & Ronkay, 1992), but it was re-described and revised by Ronkay et al. (1995). In this paper many species previously included to Pseudohadena were assigned to other newly described genera Eremohadena Ronkay, Varga & Fabian, 1995 and Graphantha Ronkay, Varga & Fabian, 1995. Later, one more related genus Orohadena Ronkay, Varga & Gyulai, 2002 was described and Graphantha was synonymized with Rhiza Staudinger, 1889 (Ronkay et al., 2002; Fibiger & Hacker, 2007). At present, the genus Pseudohadena includes 20 described species and subdivided into 3 subgenera: Pseudohadena, Pseudopseustis Hampson, 1910 and Jaxartia Püngeler, 1914 (Ronkay et al., 1995; Ronkay et al., 2002). Many species of the genus were described in last three decades (Varga & Ronkay, 1991; Ronkay et al., 1995; Ronkay et al., 2002; Ebert & Hacker, 2002; Shirvani et al., 2007; Pekarsky, 2012).
Pseudohadena argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) was described from steppes of southern part of West Siberia (Varga & Ronkay, 1991) and was known only from the type locality (SW of Novosibirsk Region, vicinity of Lake Krotovaya Lyaga), to the present time.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
The moths were collected using ultraviolet and mercury light-traps. The genitalia were dissected and mounted in euparal on glass sides. Photos of the genitalia where made using the microscope Zeiss Stemi 2000-C and the camera Zeiss AxioCam Erc 5c, and processed in Adobe Photoshop CS4® software. Photos of imago where taken using the camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II / EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. Acronyms of collections are as follows: STP - private collection of Sergey Titov (Pavlodar, Kazakhstan); SZMN - Siberian Zoological Museum, Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Pseudohadena (Pseudohadena) argyllostigma (Varga & Ronkay, 1991)
Type material examined: holotype male, "USSR, W Siberia, Prov. Novosibirsk, Krotovaia Lyaga, 13 km NW Karasuk, 6-7.IX.1981, leg. Dubatolov" (handwritten) / "Holotypus Pseudopseustis argyllostigma Ronkay & Varga, det. L. Ronkay/90" / "gen. prep. No. 3693 male, det. L. Ronkay" (Coll. SZMN); paratype female, same data as the holotype, but gen. prep. No. 3680 female L. Ronkay (Coll. SZMN). New material examined: 6 males, 1 female, "11.IX.2015, N.E. Kazakhstan, Pavlodar Region, Ekibastuz District, village Karazhar, steppe, delta of Olenty, Lake Auliekol, N 52°11.958', E 74°43.486', h = 125 m. At light. Titov S.V. leg." Slides AV1604 Volynkin (male) AV1769 Volynkin (female). (Coll. STP). 1 male, same locality and collector, but 19.IX.2015 (Coll. STP).
Determination of the collected specimens was made in comparison with the type specimens. The adults and the genitalia (Figs 2, 3, 5, 7) have no differences from the type ones (Figs 4, 6). In Kazakhstan the species inhabits shores of steppe lakes with saline soils and vegetation with dominance of Salsola, Achnatherum and Selitraria species (Fig. 8). P. argyllostigma is a representative of the autumnal phenological complex, the specimens were collected in middle September together with Oxytripia orbiculosa (Esper, 1799), Hydraecia osseola Staudinger, 1882, Sidemia spilogramma (Rambur, 1871), Rhizedra lutosa (Hübner, [1803]), Xylena vetusta (Hübner, [1813]), X. exsoleta (Linnaeus, 1758), Eugnorisma miniago (Freyer, 1839), etc.
The collecting site located on the northeastern limits of the Kazakhstan Uplands, near their border with the West Siberian Plain. This is the first report for Kazakhstan and the second known locality of the species increasing the species' range of more than 270 km to the south-east (Fig. 1). P. argyllostigma is a ninth species of the genus known from Kazakhstan. The catalogue of Pseudogadena taxa of Kazakhstan is given below.
