Introduction
Genus Syncopacma Meyrick, 1925 was revised for the first time by Gozma´ny (1957) and Wolff (1958).
As a result, about 16 species were recognized to be valid in Europe. Subsequently, three new species were
described from Uzbekistan and Mongolia (Piskunov, 1979, 1987; Lvovsky, Piskunov, 1989). Chinese species
of the genus Syncopacma were reviewed by Li (1993), with description of five new taxa. Recently, some ad-
ditional new species were described from France (Nel, 1995, 1998), Uzbekistan (Bidzilya, 1996) and
Transbaikalia (Bidzilya et al., 1998). The European representatives of this genus were recently reviewed with
providing of corrections to generic assignment of some taxa (Karsholt, Riedl, 1996; Elsner et al., 1999;
Bidzilya, 2002).
Currently, the genus Syncopacma comprises at least 35 palaearctic species, about two-thirds of which
occur in Europe.
Many Syncopacma species are very similar externally that makes difficulties to its correct determination
and is resulted in numerous misidentifications, especially among old records. In spite of relatively large num-
ber of publications, many species remain undescribed even in Europe (Elsner et al., 1999). Status of some
previously described taxa (Caradja, 1920; Amsel, 1935) are unclear, female genitalia of some species are not
illustrated.
The type material are deposited in collection of Zoological Museum of Kyiv National Taras Shevchen-
ko University, Kyiv, Ukraine (ZMKU) and Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St.-Peters-
burg, Russian Federation (ZISP).

dorsal surface with small semi-spherical sclerotized plate at posterior margin. Ductus
bursae short and slender, antrum indistinct, weakly broadened. Corpus bursae large, sub-
oval, about length of ductus bursae. Signum absent.
D i f f e r e n t i a l d i a g no s i s. The new species is similar externally to many others
Syncopacma species with white subapical fascia. The male genitalia resemble those of
S. kutsherenkoi Bidzilya, 1998, but differ in the knee-shaped rather than sickle-shaped
transtilla lobes, which are distinctly smaller and not reaching the gnathos; both species
also differ in the shape of valva, which in S. kutsherenkoi is distinctly broadened in dis-
tal third, whereas those of S. altaica sp. n. is almost uniform width and has rough ven-
tral margin.
B i o l o g y. Host plant unknown. Adults fly in late June — early July in high-moun-
tains tundra.
D i s t r i b u t i o n. Altai.
E t ymo l o g y. Named after the type locality.
