The gelechiid fauna of the southern Ural Mountains, part II: List of recorded species with taxonomic notes (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Abstract
A list comprising 236 species in the family Gelechiidae from the southern Ural Mountains is presented. The material was collected during 1996–2007 on 21 different Finnish-Russian expeditions. The following new combinations are proposed: Caulastrocecis interstratella (Christoph, 1873) comb. n., Megacraspedus balneariellus (Chrétien, 1907) comb. n., Megacraspedus fallax (Mann, 1867) comb. n., Megacraspedus lagopellus Herrich-Schäffer, 1860 comb. rev., Megacraspedus niphorrhoa (Meyrick, 1926) comb. n., Scrobipalpa adaptata (Povolný, 2001) comb. n., Scrobipalpa dorsoflava (Povolný, 1996) comb. n., Scrobipalpa notata (Povolný, 2001) comb. n. and Scrobipalpa punctata (Povolný, 1996) comb. n. Neofriseria mongolinella Piskunov, 1987 stat. rev. is raised to the species rank (from subsp. of N. sceptrophora (Meyrick, 1926)). Previously unknown females of four species are described: Megacraspedus niphorrhoa (Meyrick, 1926), Monochroa nomadella (Zeller, 1868), Ivanauskiella psamathias (Meyrick, 1891) and Filatima zagulajevi Anikin & Piskunov, 1996. Trichembola neurophanes (Meyrick, 1926) syn. n. is shown to be a synonym of
Megacraspedus fallax (Mann, 1867). Three separate species complexes are briefly discussed: Stomopteryx mongolica Povolný, 1975, Stomopteryx remissella (Zeller, 1847) and Aristotelia subericinella (Duponchel, 1843); each of them seems to contain unresolved taxonomic problems. Three species are reported for the first time from Europe: Neofriseria mongolinella Piskunov, 1987, Stomopteryx mongolica Povolný, 1975, and Anarsia sibirica Park & Ponomarenko, 1996. The following species are newly recorded from Russia: Apatetris kinkerella (Snellen, 1876), Catatinagma trivittellum Rebel, 1903, Megacraspedus balneariellus (Chrétien, 1907), Megacraspedus niphorrhoa (Meyrick, 1926), Chrysoesthia falkovitshi Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989, Metzneria diffusella Englert, 1974, Ptocheuusa paupella (Zeller, 1847), Ptocheuusa abnormella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854), Monochroa parvulata Gozmány, 1957, Eulamprotes plumbella (Heinemann, 1870), Aroga aristotelis (Millière, 1876), Filatima transsilvanella Z.

Additions to original descriptions are provided for three little-known species - Chrysoesthia falkovitshi Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989, C. mironovi Bidzilya, 2001 and C. tuvella Bidzilya, 2005. The colour photographs of adults and ventral view of the male genitalia are given for all three species for the first time, and their diagnostic characters are discussed. The hitherto unknown female genitalia of C. falkovitshi are described. The diagnosis of the genus and its differences from closely related Metanarsia Staudinger, 1871 are briefly discussed
The article provides a brief analysis on the species composition of microlepidopteran genus Neofriseria Sattler, 1960 (Gelechiidae) of the fauna of Russia and some neighboring countries. A list of six species of this genus known for the territory of Russia at present is given. One species of the genus, previously described only relating to males from Greece, is recorded for Russia (Saratov region) firstly as a new subspecies with a description and illustrations of the genital structures of both sexes. Differences in the structure of the male genitalia between the nominative subspecies and N. b. volgensis Piskunov et Anikin, ssp. n. were analysed.
This paper presents new moth records from Washington State, most of which were collected as bycatch in exotic pest surveys conducted in 2019. Also included are further locality information and older collection dates for two species only recently documented in the state.
We provide data concerning 39 species of Gelechiidae collected in Calabria and Basilicata regions, Italy. Twenty-three species are new for the studied area and six new for southern Italy. Most interesting are the records of Cosmardia moritzella (Treitschke, 1835), recorded only in the Alps so far, Aroga pascuicola (Staudinger, 1871), Oxypteryx immaculatella (Douglas, 1850), and Helcystogramma lamprostoma (Zeller, 1847), new for the Italian mainland, and Aproaerema cinctelloides (Nel & Varenne, 2012), new for the Italian fauna.
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.
Until recently, only two species of Dactylotula Cockerell, 1888 have been known. Dactylotula kinkerella (Snellen, 1876), feeding on Calamagrostis arenaria (L.) Roth (Poaceae), is distributed in Europe and the Asian part of Russia, while D. altithermella (Walsingham, 1903) was only recorded in Europe with host plant unknown. Here, we report Dactylotula for the first time in China represented by a new leaf-mining species described herein as D. phragmitella, sp. n., feeding on Phragmites australis (Cav.) Steud. (Poaceae). Most of the specimens were collected in the Yellow River Delta. Photos of the adult, wing venation, male and female genitalia, host plant, leaf mines and parasitoid wasps of the new species are provided. Additionally, DNA barcodes of the new species are provided and discussed along sequences of the other two congeneric species.
Thirteen new species of Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 are described: S. nupponeni sp. nov. (Russia: Buryatia, Altai), S. rutjani sp. nov.

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.
All known species of the Palaearctic genus Metanarsia Staudinger, 1871 are reviewed. Ten species are recognized, of which two are described as new: M. piskunovi sp. n. and M. dahurica sp. n. Four synonymies are established: Parametanarsia Gerasimov, 1930 syn. n. and Epiparasia Rebel, 1914 syn. rev. are synonymised with Metanarsia Staudinger, 1871; Metanarsia gobica Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 syn. n. with M. alphitodes (Meyrick, 1891), and Epidola halmyropis Meyrick, 1926 syn. n. with M. incertella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1861). Descriptions and a key to all species are supplied with illustrations of the adults, male and female genitalia (when known), and their relationships within the genus are briefly discussed. An improved diagnosis of the genus is given and its relationships with allied gelechiid genera are discussed.
Aristotelia baltica A. Šulcs & I. Šulcs, 1983 (stat. n.) is raised from being a subspecies of A. coeruleopictella Caradja (1920) to a separate species. It is compared with the closely related A. coeruleo- pictella and A. pancaliella. The adults and genitalia of these three species are described and illustrated. The female genitalia of A. pancaliella are figured for the first time. A lectotype of A. pancaliella (Staudinger, 1871) is designated. The larva and life history of A. baltica is described and illustrated for the first time.
Six species of the genus Anarsia ZELLER were recognized from Siberia and Far East. Two of the species are described as new to science (Anarsia gajiensis sp. n. and A. sibirica sp. n.), and A. bipinnata MEYRICK is reported from the Primorye Territory (Russian Far East) for the first time. Key to the species is given.
The Palaearctic gelechiid genus Psoricoptera Stainton, 1854 is revised. Two previously described species, gibbosella (Zeller) and speciosella Teich are recognized based on differences in genitalia; both have a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Their distinction is supported by differences in the morphology and biology of the early stages. Chelaria triorthias (Meyrick) and Lita lepigreella Lucas are placed in synonymy with gibbosella (syn. n.). Two new species P. latignathosa sp. n. P. kawabei sp. n. are described from E. Asia. Infraspecific variation in the genitalia of Psoricoptera is discussed.
The genus Bryotropha Heinemann in the western Palaearctic is revised for the first time. A total of 36 species is recognised. Nine species are described as new: B. horribilis sp. n., B italica sp. n., B nupponeni sp. n., B. wolschrijni sp. n., B. heckfordi sp. n., B phycitiniphila sp. n., B sutteri sp. n., B. hendrikseni sp. n., and B. hulli sp. n. Representatives of two possible further species are described but, due to insufficient material, not formally named. One new combination is introduced: Bryotropha sabulosella (Rebel, 1905) comb. n., and twelve new junior synonyms are proposed: B. tachengensis Li & Zheng is synonymised with B rossica Anikin & Piskunov; B. glabrella Heinemann with B desertella (Herrich-Schäffer), B brevipalpella Rebel with B. plantariella (Tengström); Gelechia galbanella var. haareki Strand with B. galbanella (Zeller), B. cinnamomea Turati with B. figulella (Staudinger); B mulinoides Amsel and B zannonicola Hartig with B. pallorella Amsel; B. inexpectella Nel with B. plebejella (Zeller); B saralella Amsel with B dryadella (Zeller); B dufraneella Joannis and B novisimilis Li & Zheng with B similis (Stainton), and B ambisenectella Li & Zheng with B. svenssoni Park. The following taxa are transferred to the genus Stomopteryx Heinemann: B subnigricella Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B neftensisDufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B. neftensisf. anomalellaDufrane, 1955 (comb. n.), B nigricella f. griseella Dufrane, 1955 (comb. n.).
