Adelidae (Lepidoptera) - Contribution to the knowledge of biology and key to the identification of the European species.
Agriphila alpina Błeszyński, 1957 stat. nov., was rediscovered after more than 100 years in the only known area in the world, the South Tyrolean Dolomites. The species was so far considered as alpine subspecies of the circumpolar Agriphila biarmicus (TengsTröm, 1865), but taking into account molecular data of the DNA barcode region and morphologica...
The taxon Nematopogon adansoniella (de Villers, 1789), originally described from the southwestern Alps, is re-evaluated. Based on DNA barcode examinations and morphological characters Nematopogon prolai Hartig, 1941 from the Apennines (central Italy) is recognized as a separate species and a lectotype is designated. Another cryptic species is Nemat...
Antispila treitschkiella (Fischer von Röslerstamm, 1843) and A. petryi Martini, 1899, sp. rev. were regarded as synonymous since 1978, but are shown to be two clearly separated species with different hostplants, life histories, DNA barcodes and morphology. Antispila treitschkiella feeds on Cornus mas L., is bivoltine, and has, by following its orna...
