Zygaena huguenini is a species of moth in the Zygaenidae family. It is found in the Pamir mountains. In Seitz it is described - a large heavy-built Zygaena from the Pamir. Instead of the 3 pair of spots the forewing bears a large patch occupying the whole marginal area; the 1. and 2. pair of spots of the forewing are separated by a black transverse band, the spots of each pair however being united.[1][2]
