The clearwing moth fauna of the Altai Mountains, Russia is reviewed. Two new species Synanthedon altaica sp. nov. and Bembecia aktashica sp. nov. are described and illustrated. Synanthedon polaris (Staudinger, 1877) is recorded as new for the region. New information on the bionomics and distribution of Dipchasphecia altaica O. Gorbunov, 1991 is provided.

In this paper I place the type species Eublepharis ruficincta Felder et Felder, 1874 presently assigned to the genus Leuthneria Dalla Torre, 1925 to the genus Melittia Hübner, 1819 ["1816"]. The adults and the male genitalia Melittia ruficincta (Felder et Felder, 1874) comb. rev. are described and illustrated. The taxonomy of the genera Eublepharis Felder et Felder, 1874 and Leuthneria Dalla Torre, 1925 is discussed. Both genera are synonymized under the genus Melittia Hübner, 1819 ["1816"]. New distribution records from Ethiopia and Kenya for Melittia ruficincta are presented.
