Introduction
The Gelechiidae include species that are pests of agriculture and forestry as well as species of biological and
ecological interest. A checklist of gelechiid species is critical for providing the current valid names for use by
USDA-APHIS and state agencies for regulating pest species, by professional and amateur lepidopterists
conducting faunal surveys, and by researchers involved in systematics, community ecology, and other
biological studies. The most recent checklist of Gelechiidae in America north of Mexico included 631 species
in 91 genera based on literature published through 1978 (Hodges, 1983). Pohl (2006) provided an on-line
checklist that included 855 species in 94 genera. This revised checklist includes 886 species in 92 genera.
Since the last checklist (Hodges, 1983), 253 new species have been added. Of them, 159 species were
described in Dichomeridinae (Hodges, 1986) and Chionodes (Hodges, 1999), and 82 species were described
in Gnoroschemini (Povolný, 1985, 1998a,b,c,d, 1999a,b, 2000, 2003; Powell & Povolný, 2001). The
descriptions of these new species and others, along with numerous new synonyms, new combinations, various
nomenclatorial changes, and additions of species previously known only from the Palearctic Region have
necessitated the need for a new checklist of Gelechiidae in America north of Mexico. Beyond these additions
and changes, the genus Tayg e t e has been transferred to Autostichidae (Landry, 2002), and Ymeldia is
transferred here to Oecophoridae. New nomenclatorial changes made in this checklist are based on notes of
the second author (RWH) from his examinations of types and personal communication with Klaus Sattler
(2009).
Four species previously known only from the Palearctic Region are reported here as new records for the
Nearctic Region, all of which were collected by J.-F. Landry in Canada. Altenia perspersella (Wocke): Yukon
Territory, Whitehorse, Gray Mtn summit, 1400-1500 m, 60.6748°N, 134.9036°W, 14 Jul 2006 (with G. Pohl).
Carpatolechia fugitivella (Zeller): Quebec, Aylmer, 48 rue du Couvent, 80 m, 45.3967°N, 75.849°W, 13 Jun
2001, 16–20 Jul 2004, 13–25 Jun 2005, 26 Jun 2006, 12 Jun–1 Jul 2007. Carpatolechia notatella: Ste-
Agathe, lac Brûlé, 80 m, 46.0881°N, 74.2788°W, 3 Jul 2004. Carpatolechia proximella (Hübner): Quebec,
Aylmer, 48 rue du Couvent, 80 m, 45.3967°N, 75.849°W; Gatineau Park, Luskville Falls picnic area,
45.5333°N, 75.9955°W, 10 Jun 2005; Rougement, 14 Jun 2004; Ste-Agathe, lac Brûlé, 80 m, 46.0881°N,
74.2788°W, 26 Jun 2001, 25 Jun4 Jul 2003, 26 Jun4 Jul 2004, 11 Jul 2005.
This checklist is based on that of Hodges (1983) and references published since 1978, all of which have
been examined. The arrangement of genera follows the 1983 checklist as closely as possible, but the
subfamilies have been divided into six tribes, following the arrangement in the checklist of the Lepidoptera of
Europe (Karsholt and Razowski, 1996). Of these tribes Litini (sensu Teleiodini) (Ponomarenko, 2005) has
been recently defined by Lee and Brown (2008), and Gnoromoschemini has been defined in a series of papers
by Povolný (1964, 1991, 2002a,b). Species in each genus are organized alphabetically. The spelling of some
species names has been changed for gender agreement. Changes from the most recent checklist (Hodges,
1983) are indicated by superscripts that refer to references cited.

... The genitalia morphology of the former two (Clarke 1965;Povolný 1990) agrees with the original genus description (Povolný 1987), whereas the latter species, originally described as Scrobipalpulopsis lycii Powell & Povolný, 2001, was referred as "an isolated taxon with distant relations to other members of the genus" due to a very deep and broad medial excision on the vinculum (Powell and Povolný 2001). As part of the checklist of the fauna of Gelechiidae of America north of Mexico, Scrobipalpulopsis was synonymized with Scrobipalpula and the two Nearctic representatives of the former [lycii and lutescella (Clarke, 1934)] were transferred to the latter (Lee et al. 2009). ...
... The association of Scrobipalpulopsis with a representative of Solanaceae was recorded by Powell and Povolný (2001). However, this record was based on lycii, a species currently included in Scrobipalpula (Lee et al. 2009). Host plant records can be useful to guide surveys to characterize distribution ranges of littleknown species of phytophagous insects. ...

Genitalia morphology of a new gnorimoschemine micromoth (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae, Gelechiinae, Gnorimoschemini) discovered in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, fits the original description of Scrobipalpulopsis Povolný, 1987, a genus previously synonymized with Scrobipalpula Povolný, 1964. The generic assignment of the new species was assessed using a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial DNA sequences. The new species, the type species of Scrobipalpulopsis and another species recently transferred from this genus to Scrobipalpula were grouped in a monophyletic cluster distantly related to that of Scrobipalpula . Furthermore, an ancestral state reconstruction analysis suggested that the presence of two pairs of processes on the vinculum in the male genitalia represents a synapomorphy for the cluster of three species. Accordingly, the revalidation of Scrobipalpulopsis gen. rev. (type species Phthorimaea stirodes Meyrick, 1931) and the reinstated combination Scrobipalpulopsis lutescella (Clarke, 1934) comb. rev. are proposed. The micromoth Scrobipalpulopsis aguilaensis sp. nov. , whose larvae feed on inflorescences of the Chilean endemic Glandularia gynobasis (Verbenaceae), is described and illustrated. Genetic divergence with congenerics was found to be 2.5–4.4% (K2P). This discovery represents the first record of Scrobipalpulopsis from the Atacama Desert.

We present an annotated catalogue of the Lepidoptera family Gelechiidae of India, comprising 351 species in 80 genera, encompassing seven subfamilies. The Indian fauna represents 7.47% of global gelechiid species diversity (i.e., 4,700 species in 500 genera). Among the seven subfamilies, Dichomeridinae is the best represented (122 species in four genera), followed by Gelechiinae (76 species in 38 genera), Anacampsinae (70 species in 16 genera), Thiotrichinae (49 species in five genera), Anomologinae (26 species in nine genera), Apatetrinae (seven species in seven genera), and Physoptilinae (single species). Information on type locality, type repository, synonyms, geographical distribution, hosts, natural enemies, and references to illustrations are provided. We also reviewed the history of descriptive work on the Gelechiidae of India, and resolved ambiguities regarding the current status of some species.

Eleven species of the genus Filatima from China are treated in the present paper. Four species, F. magnanella Oh & Li, sp. nov., F. nanjiangica Oh & Li, sp. nov., F. taxkorgana Oh & Li, sp. nov. and F. yanchiensis Oh & Li, sp. nov. are described as new. Three species, F. asiatica Sattler, 1961, F. angustipennis Sattler, 1961, and F. multicornuta Bidzilya & Nupponen, 2018, are newly recorded from China; F. pagicola (Meyrick, 1936) is redescribed, with female recorded for the first time. Images of adults and genitalia are illustrated except F. sciocrypta, and a key to all the known species in China is provided.

Five new synonyms are established: S. punctata (Povolný, 1996) syn. nov. of S. zaitzevi Piskunov, 1990; S. abstrusa Huemer & Karsholt, 2010 syn. nov. of S. truncata (Povolný, 2002); S. pinosa (Povolný, 2001) syn. nov. of S. ferruginosa (Povolný, 2001); S. kyrana (Povolný, 2001) syn. nov. of S. similis Povolný, 1973 and S. zouhari Povolný, 1984 syn. nov. of S. rebeli (Preissecker, 1915). Scrobipalpa sibirica Bidzilya, 2009 sp. rev., stat. nov. is taken out from synonymy with S. occulta (Povolný, 2002) and S. japonica Povolný, 1977 sp. rev., stat. nov. is taken out from synonymy with S. rebeli (Preissecker, 1914). Six species are recorded from Russia for the first time: Scrobipalpa superstes Povolný, 1977; S. punctulata Li & Bidzilya, 2019; S. strictella Bidzilya & Li, 2010; S. inferna Povolný, 1973; S. mongolica Povolný, 1969 and S. mixta Huemer & Karsholt, 2010. Scrobipalpa notata (Povolný, 2001) is new for Armenia, S. frugifera Povolný, 1969 and S. mixta are new for Kazakhstan, S. acuta (Povolný, 2001) and S. ferruginosa are new for Mongolia, S. tenebrata (Povolný, 2001) is new for China, S. zaitzevi is new for Tajikistan and Afghanistan, S. truncata is new for Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia, S. marmorella Povolný, 1969 and S. candicans (Povolný, 1996) are new for Tajikistan. The male genitalia of S. ferruginosa, and the female genitalia of S. bidzilyai (Povolný, 2001), S. chitensis (Povolný, 2001), S. tenebrata, S. cinerosella Bidzilya, 2009 and S. japonica are described for the first time. Improved diagnosis and additions to descriptions are provided for some little known and poorly diagnosed species. Adults and genitalia are illustrated for all new species and for most of the species which represent new faunistic records.

Durante los años 2000 a 2004 hemos observado discoloraciones por acumulaciones de diatomeas en la zona de rompiente de las olas en playas de arena del sur y suroeste de la isla de Gran Canaria (27º 47’ N; 15º 43 W). La diatomea bentónica Attheya armatus (T. West) Crawford fue la única especie identificada. Esta latitud es la más baja en el hemisferio norte en la que se han observado estas acumulaciones, las cuales se citan por primera vez en Canarias.

The 25 genera of Teleiodini (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) occurring in the Holarctic Region are revised. A new genus and new species, Arcutelphusa talladega, are described from Alabama and Mississippi, United States. Evippe Chambers (1873a) is synonymized with Agnippe Chambers (1872a), Hapalosaris Meyrick (1917) is synonymized with Coleotechnites Chambers (1880b), and Laris Omelko (1988) is synonymized with Parastenolechia Kanazawa (1985). Telphusa is restricted to three species, and Teleiodes is restricted to four species. A key to genera and a checklist of species, which includes 28 new combinations, are provided. Each generic treatment includes descriptions of imagos, including venation and genitalia, and immature stages so far as known, larval hosts, diversity and distribution, and illustrations of selected species.

The gnorimoschemine taxa (of the gelechiid moths) Insuloschema barbarae gen. n., sp. n. and two species of the genus Keiferia Busck, 1939, viz. Keiferia educata sp. n. and Keiferia powelli sp. n. are described from California. The first taxon is obviously endemic to one of the most interesting Channel Islands called Santa Barbara and it corroborates its unique history. The two newly described species of Keiferia enrich essentially the number of species existing in California and in the Nearctic realm generally. Moths and their genitalia are figured within the description.

Galagete, gen. n. (type species: Gelechia protozona Meyrick) is described to include 11 species of Autostichidae apparently endemic to the Galápagos Islands. This group represents the first recognised case of an extensive radiation of endemic Lepidoptera in the archipelago. The following species are described as new: Galagete cinerea, G. consimilis, G. cristobalensis, G. darwini, G. espanolaensis, G. levequei, G. pecki, G. seymourensis, and G. turritella. Gelechia gnathodoxa Meyrick and Gelechia protozona Meyrick, both described from the Galápagos Islands, are transferred to Galagete and redescribed. Galagete is closely related to Taygete Chambers, a taxon previously placed in the Gelechiidae. Specimens of Galagete were reared from twigs and dead leaves of Scalesia species (Asteraceae) and from Galápagos tortoise (Geochelone elephantopus) scats.
