Introduction
To this day, 428 Tortricidae species (AARVICK 2011, YLLA & MACIÀ 2010) were known from
Spain. Although tortricid species are, in the framework of the Spanish Lepidoptera fauna, quite a well-
explored group, new faunistic information is continuously appearing about the occurrence of individual
species, that is, in many cases, new to some of the Spanish provinces and sometimes even to all of
Spain (for a selection of quotations, see the work YLLA & MACIÀ 2010). The present contribution
strives to enhance knowledge regarding Spanish Tortricidae and extends the diversity of Spanish
species by another five species.
Material and methods
The presented faunistic data were acquired by the author (with some exceptions) during
SHILAP Revta. lepid., 39 (154), junio 2011: 141-153 CODEN: SRLPEF ISSN:0300-5267
141-153 Faunistic data of sever 10/6/11 11:21 Página 141
occasional visits to Spain between 1996 and 2010. All the stated data are based on determinations by
the author and are supported by the collected material placed in his collection. Part of type material is
deposited in the Collection of the National Museum of Natural History in Madrid. Therefore, these data
are not repeated by individual species, the exception referring only to the newly described species and a
few findings by colleagues. The species identity of a major part of the findings was confirmed by
examination of the genitalia; these preparations are stored in glycerin, in plastic tubes under a concrete
specimen.
The materials were collected mainly by attraction to light at nighttime. A list of the localities
visited is included in Table 1, where some additional information (province, altitude and detailed
information about locality) is stated; the information is not repeated further in the text.

species for Spain, the first record from the European mainland.
Male genitalia (Figs. 21-22): Uncus in the form of a finger, long, slender, from a lateral view
slightly bent. The valva is narrow, broader at the base, narrowing from the last third to the end. The
sacculus is very long up to 4/5 of the valva, slightly bent at the end and densely covered with short
spines. Very distinctive proximally directed triangular process in the middle of the sacculus. The
aedeagus is narrow, slightly bent, without thorns, spines and cornutus.

ˇumpich, 5 11 and 5 00 in coll. M. Dvorˇák and 2 00 in coll.
National Museum of Natural History, Madrid.
Diagnosis: Compared with the only known member of the genus O. wertheimsteini (Rebel, 1913)
(Figs. 6-7), it differs by its significantly smaller size and narrower forewings less elongated to apex.
Also the genitalia of both sexes are of a more subtile shape, namely the male genitalia are a third
smaller. The uncus is narrower and longer, the socius is shorter, the valva is broader, the sacculus has
two distinct spines, the aedeagus is longer. The female sterigma is only a little sclerotized; the ductus
bursae is narrower, longer.
Description: Wingspan 12.5-17.5 mm (average for males 15 mm; 16 mm for females).
The prevailing color of the forewings is whitish gray to gray, distinctly spotted with black flakes.
Male median fascia are very indistinct; only the lining of distinctive black flakes is often distinct; the
female median fascia is distinctly darker than the wing color and is also lined with black flakes. A gray
fringe in color of the wing. Hindwings light gray, slightly lighter in base of the wing. Fringe whitish
gray.
Male genitalia (Figs. 25-26): The uncus slender and longer, not pointed; basal lobes covered by
short spines; the socius very short. The valva is quite broad, broader in the basal part. The sacculus is
long, in the middle proximally protruding, spirally rewound, terminated with two distinct spines. The
aedeagus thin, bent, without cornuti.
Female genitalia (Fig. 27): The sterigma thin and slightly sclerotized, slightly expanding in the
center; a funnel-shaped ostium; the collicolum is slightly sclerotized. The ductus bursae is slender and
moderately long; the corpus bursae is elongated and oval-shaped.
Bionomics: Probably strongly preferring sandy habitats similar to O. wertheimsteini. Thus, also
the occurrence in the autumn season is similar.
Distribution: Spain. Only known from type locality.
Etymology: The name is derived from the name of the habitat where the species occurs.

Spilonota gallinerana S
ˇumpich, sp. n.
Type material. Holotype: 1(Fig. 8): Spain, Almería, Sierra de los Filabres, Alto del Calar del
Gallinero, 2000 m, 17-18-VI-2007, J. S
ˇumpich leg., National Museum of Natural History, Madrid coll.
Paratype: 1 1(Fig. 9), the same data. In coll. J. S
ˇumpich.
Diagnosis: It differs externally from Spilonota ocellana ([D. & Schiff.], 1775) and Spilonota
laricana (Heinemann, 1863) by the larger size, pattern of the forewings and lighter hindwings. Male
genitalia with a differently shaped socii (Fig. 30), aedeagus structure, significantly weaker, thinner
coverage of the sacculus by bristles and a slightly shorter thorn on the cucullus allow for reliable
identification of the species.
Description: Wingspan 17 mm. Head and labial palp dark grayish-brown; labial palp of a
pendulous shape, with inside light flakes. The antenna filiform. Forewings narrow, tapered at the apex.
The prevailing color is gray suffused by brown flakes (commonly absent in S. laricana and S.
ocellana); a whitish to white fascia in the third closer to the body clearly tapers to the lower edge of the
forewing (in contrast to other species). The external edge of the basal blotch is almost straight or
slightly curved in the direction of the costa (usually distinctively raised in other species). Forewings
light gray, unicolor, a fringe of the same color. Hind legs are generally brightly colored with brownish
flakes, the ends distinctly circled with dark flakes all round (circling is indistinct from that of other
species and only from the upper side); both pairs of spurs are thin and relatively long.
Male genitalia (Figs. 28-29): The socii conically tapered; tapering is very distinctive at the end (in
contrast with other species). The valva is long and very narrow; the caudal angle of the sacculus is only
slightly raised; the neck of the valva is very slender, the dorsal lobe of the cucullus is rather shorter; the
needle-shaped thorn on the lower side of the cucullus is notably shorter compared to other species; the
aedeagus is very short with one elongated cornutus.
Female genitalia: Unknown.
Bionomics: Both specimens were captured in mid-June on a mountain rock steppe.
Distribution: Spain. Only known from type locality.
Etymology: The species name is derived from the name of the locality where the species was
recorded for the first time.
Epinotia obraztsovi Agenjo, 1966
Colativi, 15-19-VI-2007, 6 specimens; Níjar, 30-IV-2008, 1 specimen, 13-14-VI-2007, 1
specimen.
Remarks: Compared with E. dalmatana (Rebel, 1891), images of E. obraztsovi are whiter, and the
black marks are more distinctive. The black dorso-postbazal blotch tends to the costa at an angle of 30º
(right angle in dalmatana) (Figs. 10-11).
Eucosma gonzalezalvarezi Agenjo, 1969
Castejón de Monegros, 20-IX-2005, 2 specimens, 11-X-2009, 2 specimens; Monegrillo, 21-X-
2005, 1 specimen, Río Baza, 16-17-X-2009, 2 specimens; Tabernas, 18-19-X-2009, 5 specimens.
Remarks: This endemic Spanish species was described from the surroundings of Madrid and has
been recently recorded in Almería (YLLA & MACIÀ 2010). The frequency of findings in the autumn
season indicates a wide distribution in Spain; the first records from Zaragoza (Figs. 12-13) are
presented.

Delta del Ebro, environs of Tortosa, 26-V-28-V-1996, 1 1and 1 0M. Dvorˇák leg. et coll.
Diagnosis: The newly described species may resemble some darker specimens from the E.
hohenwartiana group, mainly E. parvulana (Wilkinson, 1859) and some smaller specimens of E.
obumbratana (Lienig & Zeller, 1846); however, female genitalia distinctively differ in terms of the
very broad sterigma. It is unmistakably different from other species thanks to the dark coloration of the
front wings, its small size (with low rate of variability), the season of occurrence and preferred habitat.
Description: Wingspan 13-15 mm. Head and palpus are creamy light. Forewings are brown with a
distinctive dark brown suffusion from the base in direction of the apex. The costa up to 2/3 is spotted
with light flakes; a distinctive cream-colored costal strigulae in the direction of the apex. A whitish to
creamy speculum, clearly lined and almost ball-shaped with inner black spots and refractive flakes. The
dorso-bazal blotch is overall brighter and in some cases a light cream. Media fascia is well-developed;
the subtornal blotch is light brown. The fringe is light, darker in the direction of the apex. Hindwings
are unicolored, gray; the fringe is slightly lighter. Sexual diformism is indistinct, with darker hindwings
seen in the females. Low variability in size; prevailing specimens with a wingspan of 14 mm; in terms
of pattern, there are lighter and darker specimens.
Male genitalia (Figs. 31): Very similar to related species. Valva broad in basal half, neck of valva
rather slender, ventral incision of valva distinct, cucullus invariably oval with distinct ventral lobe.
Aedeagus broad, short.
Female genitalia (Figs. 32-33): Postostial part of sterigma very broad, distinctly terminally; the
lower edge is significantly incised. Cingulum is medium-long, weakly sclerotized. Corpus bursae of a
globular, almost even shape. Signa unequally sized; the bigger one is massive with a flat end.
Ovipositors are as long as apophyses posteriores; the eighth segment is short and triangularly pointed
distally.
Bionomics: Numerous type series were acquired in early autumn on the ecoton of large wetlands
located near the seaside with dominant Phragmites spp. and Juncus spp. Individual records in the
spring season indicate two generations.
Distribution: Spain.
Etymology: The species name is dedicated to the excellent Czech entomologist Gustav Elsner
(Prague).
Remarks: E. gustavelsneri S
ˇumpich, sp. n., from Spain published by YLLA & MACIÀ (2010) as
E. flavispecula Kuznetzov, 1964. Despite the considerable similarity of the species’ genitalia (typical
for Eucosma species), E. gustavelsneri varies significantly habitually, mainly by the absence of a cream
speculum and a cream fringe, which are typical also for aberrant specimens of E. flavispecula.
Moreover, E. flavispecula has no spotted costa while this sign is well-developed in E. gustavelsneri and
it has also narrower forewings (Fig. 16, see also color illustration in works of RAZOWSKI (2003) or
FAZEKAS & SCHREURS (2010)). Female genitalia of the newly described species, which often bear
more characteristics in the case of the Eucosma species, have distinctively shorter apophyses
posteriores in proportion to ovipositors and notably broader sterigma. Basic differences also include the
season of occurrence (E. flavispecula occurs in summer) and habitat preferences: E. flavispecula
inhabits open, mainly meadow localities with occurrences of the host plant Centaurea juncea, while E.
gustavelsneri is known only from swamps near the seaside (see also YLLA & MACIÀ 2010) where the
linkage to plants from the Asteraceae family is highly unlikely. The mention in MASÓ et al. (2001)
work relates probably also to E. gustavelsneri species. They mention also a subdominant occurrence of
E. obumbratana from marshes in the Llobregat Delta, in Barcelona.

ˇumpich leg. et coll., the same data, 2 11, M. Dvorˇák leg. et coll.
Diagnosis: The newly described species is probably related to the species Epinotia thapsiana
(Zeller, 1847); however, it is habitually unmistakable. Male genitalia differ by the roof-like termination
of the uncus, the presence of two cornutus in the aedeagus and an overall broader valva.
Description: Wingspan 14-16 mm. Head and labial palpus are dark, with dark ochreous hair on the
forehead. The basic color of the forewings is white with distinct dark markings and ginger dusting. Basal
blotch dark brown just like median fascia; speculum is white with distinct black spots. Costal strigulae
are distinct and white. Hindwings are dark brownish-gray, with a fringe in the color of the wings.
Male genitalia (Figs. 34-35): The uncus is long and thin, apically extended with a roof-like
termination. The socius is large, triangular and sharply terminated. The valva is broad; the caudal angle
is indistinctly raised; the neck of valva is narrow, the cucullus is broad and rounded, proximally
protruding. The aedeagus is short with two needle-shaped cornuti.
Female genitalia: Unknown.
Bionomics: All specimens were captured in early spring on open mountain habitats
Distribution: Spain.
Etymology: The species name is derived from the shape of uncus termination (tectum = roof).
Cydia blackmoreana (Walsingham, 1903)
Punta Umbría, 2-3-V-2009, 20 specimens, M. Dvorˇák leg., det. et coll., other several tens
specimens were observed.
Remarks: Only recently was the species found in Spain (SKULE & NILSSON 2008). It seems
that in the south of Spain, this species is locally very common.

Eucosma callei sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the Iberian Peninsula. It differs from its Iberian congener, Eucosma gonzalezalvarezi Agenjo, 1970, in external appearance and genitalia. The 5’ barcode fragments of the mitochondrial gene COI (the DNA barcode) are presented and confirms the description of this new species.
... The European fauna covers 57 species (Aarvik 2011), with 46 species already analysed and figured by Razowski (2003) who also added four unplaced species. Only relatively few taxa have been described in recent years from Europe, namely E. apocryphoides Budashkin, 2009, E. halophilana Budashkin, 2009, E. ukrainica Budashkin, 2009, E. gustavelsneri Šumpich, 2011, E. bimaculatana Labonne, Nel & Varenne, 2017, as well as E. paulorosea Tsvetkov, 2020and E. fulvana suncretana Tsvektov, 2020(Budashkin 2009, Šumpich 2011, Labonne et al. 2017, Tsvetkov 2020. The latter taxon, however, is a subspecies of the disputed E. fulvana (Stephens, 1834) belonging to the species group of E. hohenwartiana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and allies (Agassiz & Langmaid 2004, Haslberger & Segerer 2016, Huemer 2013. ...

Eucosma subvittana is resurrected from synonymy with E. cana (Haworth, 1811) and redescribed from extensive material collected in Greece (Crete) and Tunisia. It is distinguished from the similar E. cana by constant differences in wing pattern and the female genitalia, whereas the male genitalia are inseparable. A lectotype of E. subvittana is designated in order to fix the identity of this species. Adults and genitalia of both species are figured extensively. Furthermore, the DNA barcodes (cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1) of both species are clearly divergent. In comparison, several cryptic taxa of related species-groups are genetically inseparable.

In this paper we review the 169 species or subspecies of arthropods previously considered endemic to the Sierra Nevada and update their status. To do so, we have reviewed all the existing literature on each taxon, from the original article in which it is described to any other article where its taxonomy and distribution is updated. We have also looked for information on possible endemic species or subspecies that may have been overlooked in the initial list, or that may have been described later. We considered four categories: 1) endemic, in the strict sense, those known only from the Sierra Nevada massif, 2) subendemic, occurring in one or two massifs or areas in addition to Sierra Nevada, 3) non-endemic, species that were considered endemic but live in three or more massifs or others areas, in addition to Sierra Nevada, and 4) not present, those that were erroneously cited as endemic to this massif but whose distribution does not include, either in the past or at present, Sierra Nevada. As a result, we have reviewed the status of 198 species and subspecies, of which 147 are endemic in the strict sense, 35 subendemic, 13 non-endemic and 3 not present. We also highlight the presence of 6 genera that are monospecific and exclusive to Sierra Nevada. Also, as a consequence of the extensive bibliographical revision, some of the dates of description or the names of some taxa have been modified. Finally, we highlight some species described from Sierra Nevada but which have not been found since their description, especially the case of the tettigonid Sabaterpia paulinoi (Bolívar, 1877) which we consider as possibly extinct.

Invasions of species into ecosystems cause their transformation and, in certain cases, their degradation. The study was carried out to determine the extent of the invasion of Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859). For this purpose, the following aspects were analyzed: distribution of the species in different countries of the worldі, history of invasion of the pest in Ukraine, degree of damage to plantations of different box (Buxus L.) species and colony density in certain areas. The chronology of the distribution of C. perspectalis was studied using literature sources and international databases: Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe (DAISIE), European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO). The information on the history of the species' invasion in Ukraine and in particular in the Chernivtsi region was found in the literature, using the database of the National Biodiversity Information Network (UkrBIN), through questionnaires and personal observations using the route method (counting the number of C. perspectalis on a certain route). The degree of damage to Buxus sp. shrubs was determined visually using a scale. The density of C. perspectalis in each area was assessed by total counts and direct counts in situ with a parallel assessment of habitat size. It was found that the expansion of C. perspectalis beyond its native range began in 2006 from southwestern Germany. In 15 years, the species has occupied the territories of about 40 mainland and island countries of the North American and European continents. Since 2014, after the invasion of the Zakarpattia region, C. perspectalis has begun to spread throughout the Ukrainian territories. Currently, the secondary range of the species is represented by 14 regions. The presence of C. perspectalis has been detected in 16 settlements of Chernivtsi region, where the degree of damage to box shrubs is mostly severe. The density of caterpillars on most bushes is up to 100 individuals/m2, which indicates the high damage of the species. Key words: Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859), invasive species, damage, expansion.

During field trips in 2006 and 2007 to Southern Spain, two specimens of the North African noctuid species Actebia (Parexarnis) photophila (Gn.) were recorded at light near Tarifa by the Danish lepidopterist Peder Skou, new to mainland Spain. The specimens were amongst material from the area also counting numerous specimens (>>100) of the Tortricid Cydia blackmoreana (Walsingham, 1903) (pers. comm. Ole Karsholt, Statens Naturhistoriske Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark). This species is new to Spain, too. The male and female genitalia of A. photophila (Gn.) are pictured for the first time.
