Gelechiidae I: (Gelechiinae: Teleiodini, Gelechiini)
... Een andere manier om deze twee soorten uit elkaar te houden is het zoeken naar de rups. Zowel de rupsen van N. singula als N. peliella voeden zich monofaag met Rumex acetosella (schapenzuring) (Emmet 1988, Elsner et al. 1999, Huemer & Karsholt 1999, Bland et al. 2002, maar de rups van N. singula is felgroen terwijl de rups van N. peliella chocoladebruin is (Palmer 2020). De groene rups is te vinden in de maand mei in een zijden buis aan de voet van de stengel (Emmet 1988, Huemer & Karsholt 1999. ...

... De rupsen van T. wagae leven op Corylus (hazelaar) en Betula (berk) (Emmet 1988), maar volgens Huemer en Karsholt (1999) is dit eerder uitzonderlijk. Rupsen werden al gevonden op Castanea sativa (tamme kastanje) (Bland et al. 2002). ...
... Volgens Spuler (1910) en Elsner et al. (1999 komen de rupsen ook voor op Salix caprea (boswilg). In Zuid-Europa werd de soort zelfs op Ostrya carpinifolia (Europese hopbeuk) aangetroffen (Huemer & Karsholt 1999). De rups leeft tussen twee bladeren die vlak tegen elkaar zijn gesponnen of, iets minder vaak, in een bladrol. ...
... De imago's zijn te vinden vanaf de maand mei tot in juli (Huemer & Karsholt 1999). De imago's rusten overdag vaak op de schors van bomen en ze komen 's nachts occasioneel op licht (Bland et al. 2002). ...
Resultaten van de Werkgroep Bladmineerders uit 2018 met meldingen van minerende en andere zeldzame Lepidoptera in België en met tien nieuwe soorten voor de Belgische fauna (Blastobasidae, Gelechiidae, Gracillariidae, Nepticulidae en Tortricidae) Steve Wullaert Samenvatting. Belangrijke meldingen van zeldzame en nieuwe soorten voor de Belgische fauna worden meegedeeld.
... However, species in the genus share the feature of a deeply separated segment VIII into a free tergum and sternum, which is a putative synapomorphy for Gelechiinae (Hodges 1999). Within this subfamily the genus has been placed in the tribe Gelechiini provisionally near Aroga Busck, 1914 and Athrips Billberg, 1820 (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). Hodges (1999: 15) proposed and developed the argument that Chionodes Hübner, [1825], Aroga, and Filatima "comprise a closely related, highly speciose group". ...
... Eight species of the European fauna were revised by Huemer and Karsholt (1999). Later two additional species were described, one from Romania (Kovács and Kovács 2001) and one from Spain (Corley 2014). ...
... Male genitalia were spread implementing the unrolling technique described by Pitkin (1986) and Huemer (1988). The descriptive terminology of the genitalia structures follows Huemer and Karsholt (1999); the order of species in the checklist is alphabetical. Pinned specimens were photographed with a Canon EOS 5DSR DSLR camera attached to an Olympus SZX12 stereomicroscope. ...
Four new species of Filatima Busck, 1939 are described from Central Asia: Filatima armata sp. nov. (Iran), F. subarmata sp. nov. (Pakistan, Iran), F. afghana sp. nov. (Afghanistan), and F. karii sp. nov. (Tajikistan). The hitherto unknown female of Filatima multicornuta Bidzilya & Nupponen, 2018 is described. Recorded to occur for the first time are Filatima textorella (Chrétien, 1908) from North Macedonia and Turkey, F. pallipalpella (Snellen, 1884) from Kyrgyzstan, and Filatima zagulajevi Anikin & Piskunov, 1996 from Kazakhstan. Filatima fontisella Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 is removed from the list of Russian Gelechiidae due to re-identification of the only record as F. multicornuta . An annotated checklist of Palaearctic Filatima species is provided.
... The Gelechiidae has long been one of the most neglected and poorly known families of the Lepidoptera. During the last 40 years or so there has been a growing worldwide interest in their research resulting in important publications which considerably facilitated and stimulated the studies of regional or local faunas: e.g. the Gelechiidae fauna of Central Europe (Elsner et al. 1999), the revision of the European Gelechiinae (Huemer & Karsholt 1999, 2010, revisions of the Palaearctic Gnorimoschemini (Povolný 2002) and of a series of ...
... Recently the species was recorded from Ineu again : 35, 2001 (Elsner et al. 1999: 50). In Romania it was recorded from Banat (Hedemann 1897: 30;Rebel 1911: 413), Moldova (Caradja 1901(Caradja : 154, 1905Nemeş & Dănilă 1970: 183) and Transylvania (Czekelius 1918 Gozmány, 1955 is distributed in the Palaearctic region, one species was introduced to North America (Huemer & Karsholt 1999: 125, 2001. In Europe 18 species are known, 8 were recorded from Romania, but M. flavella (Duponchel, 1844) was deleted from the checklist (see below in the list of the deleted species). ...

This study of the Romanian Gelechiidae fauna deals with 317 species placed in 80 genera arranged in two different lists. The main list comprises 293 species in 78 genera currently accepted for the Romanian fauna, including 286 named and 7 other so far unidentified and probably undescribed species. 269 species (almost 92 %) were identified from examined material, the other 24 are derived from the literature. 30 species are recorded for the first time for the Romanian fauna: Aproaerema cinctelloides (Nel & Varenne, 2012), A. suecicella (Wolff, 1958), A. semicostella (Staudinger, 1871), Dactylotula kinkerella (Snellen, 1876), Bryotropha patockai Elsner & Karsholt, 2003, Aristotelia decoratella (Staudinger, 1879), Psamathocrita argentella Pierce & Metcalfe, 1942, Ptocheuusa paupella (Zeller, 1847), Metzneria diffusella Englert, 1974, Monochroa tekovella Kosorín, 2020, Athrips aquila Junnilainen, 2010, Chionodes ignorantella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854), Gelechia senticetella (Staudinger, 1859), G. dujardini Huemer, 1991, Scrobipalpa acuta Povolný, 2001, S. selectella (Caradja, 1920), S. gallicella (Constant, 1885), S. nitentella (Fuchs, 1902), S. monochromella (Constant, 1895), S. thymelaeae (Amsel, 1939), Scrobipalpula tussilaginis (Stainton, 1867), Ephysteris deserticolella (Staudinger, 1871), Lutilabria lutilabrella (Mann, 1857), Caryocolum amaurella (Hering, 1924), C. petryi (Hofmann, 1899), C. pullatella (Tengström, 1848), C. blandulella (Tutt, 1887), Teleiopsis laetitiae Schmid, 2011, Xenolechia aethiops (Humphreys & Westwood, 1845) and Stenolechiodes pseudogemmellus Elsner, 1996. There are 6 other new additions, their records were overlooked and not included in the checklists: Apodia martinii Petry, 1911, Monochroa conspersella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854), Ptycerata cryptoxena (Gozmány, 1952), Scrobipalpa salicorniae (Hering, 1889), Lutilabria prolata Junnilainen & Nupponen, 2010 and Agonochaetia terrestrella (Zeller, 1872). Additionally, 78 first records for the different regions of Romania are provided. The previously unknown females of Aproaerema incognitana (Gozmány, 1957) and A. semicostella (Staudinger, 1871) are described. A misinterpretation is shown in the literature concerning Bryotropha azovica Bidzilya, 1996. This species is currently known only from Ukraine (type locality) and Romania, all other records of B. azovica sensu Karsholt & Rutten, 2005 from Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria and North Macedonia are based on misidentifications and represent a different, as yet unnamed, species. An annotation is given for all listed taxa summarizing the current knowledge: the general distribution, the first Romanian record, the regional distribution and a concise enumeration of recent collecting sites based on both material examined and literature. Detailed data are given only for the first Romanian records or those of the regions of the country, and in the case of a few rarely recorded species. The habitats and collecting methods are mentioned, but concise data referring to the biology are only exceptionally given. The 23 species for which no material could be found for examination are treated as in need of confirmation. In a second list are treated 24 species and 2 genera mentioned earlier from Romania, but currently deleted from the checklist, out of this 8 species and 1 genus are now deleted: Aproaerema larseniella (Gozmány, 1957), Helcystogramma albinervis (Gerasimov, 1929), the genus Pectinophora Busck, 1917 including P. gossypiella (Saunders, 1844), Bryotropha plebejella (Zeller, 1847), Ptycerata furfurella (Staudinger, 1871), Oxypteryx nigritella (Zeller, 1847), Chionodes nebulosella (Heinemann, 1870) and Scrobipalpa salinella (Zeller, 1847). Replacing the Gelechiidae in the latest Romanian checklist (Rákosy & Goia 2021) with this list is recommanded
... The descriptive terminology largely follows Huemer and Karsholt (1999), except cucullus instead of valva and phallus instead of aedeagus. ...
... Gelechia sororculella is also known from neighboring territories of Altai, but was observed in river valleys (Chuya, Chagan). This species is associated with several species of Salix (Huemer and Karsholt 1999), but not with the dwarf willows presumed to be the host for G. omelkoi sp. nov. ...
... The genus Gelechia is represented by 22 species in Europe, and the European fauna was revised and studied in detail by Huemer and Karsholt (1999). In North America, 40 valid species are recognized, but the genus has never been the object of any revision and several names remain of uncertain identity (Lee et al. 2009). ...
Gelechia omelkoi sp. nov. is described from the Ukok plateau and South Chuisky ridge in the Altai Mountains of Russia. The adult of the new species, including its male genitalia, is illustrated and compared with species most similar in morphology and DNA barcodes— G. sororculella (Hübner, 1817) and G. jakovlevi Krulikovsky, 1905 from the Palaearctic region, as well as G. mandella Busck, 1904 from Canada. This last species is redescribed based on adult specimens, including the genitalia of both sexes, and a lectotype is designated. Gelechia sirotina Omelko, 1986 is recorded from the Altai Republic for the first time. An updated list of six species of Gelechia from the Altai Mountains of Russia is given. Dorsal habitus photographs of all species are provided. The male genitalia of the lectotype of G. jakovlevi is illustrated for the first time.
... Phytophagous species, pest of different Solanaceae, quarantine object for Russia. The larvae feed on different parts of host plant and have different feeding habits from leaf-mining to boring into buds, stalks, and fruits (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). ...
... Phytophagous species. The larvae live and feed on spinned terminal shoots and leaves on Saponaria officinalis, S. ocymoides (Caryophyllaceae) (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). ...
... Phytophagous species. The larvae are facultative leaf-miner, mining the leaves in young ages, later they live and feed in pod-like dwelling, madden on the terminal part of shoots on Gypsophila repens (Caryophyllacea) (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). ...
We report the results of a faunistic study of Microlepidoptera performed in Southern Siberia using
diverse sampling techniques allowing to cover various taxonomic groups. The provided taxonomic list is
comprised of 64 species from 44 genera and 18 families, where all species represent novel geographical
records. Of them, only 62 species inhabit Southern Siberia, the other two species, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)
and Carposina sasakii Matsumura are quarantine pests intercepted in this region. Eighteen genera and 3 families (Glyphipterigidae, Chimabachidae, and Oecophoridae) are reported for the first time from the studied region. Overall, 11 species from 7 families are novel for Siberia. Two species, Bucculatrix pannonica and Coleophora curictae, are newly recorded in Russia. For the species newly recorded in the fauna of Siberia and Russia, male or female genitalia are illustrated. For Coleophora curictae, representing a novel record for Russia, the bionomics is given for the first time.
... Litini (= Teleiodini), one of tribes of Gelechiinae (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is referred to a total of 8 genera in the Neotropical Region: Agnippe Chambers, Recurvaria Haworth, Coleotechnites Chambers, Schistophila Chrétien, Exoteleia Wallengren, Arogalea Walsingham, Barticeja Povolný and Telphusa Chambers (Becker 1984;Brown 2008a, 2010). Currently, the tribe was defined morphologically and treated systematically for Europe by the contribution of Huemer and Karsholt (1999), who reviewed over 60 species, ascribed in 18 genera. Later, Brown (2008a, 2008b) reviewed all Holarctic-Nearctic genera and performed a phylogenetic analysis, based on morphological characters and supported by molecular studies, and they established the monophyly of this group. ...
... descriptions of adults follows Huemer and Karsholt (1999) and Lee and Brown (2008a). An EZ4E Leica stereomicroscope was used for observations and photographs of adults, furthermore processed using the LAS-EZ 3.2.0 ...
... Regarding the larval host-plant, it should be noted that the genus Schinus is distributed essentially in Neotropical region, and some species of Schinus may be considered invasive outside their natural ecosystem (Stonis and Remeikis 2017). The botanical records for Litini mainly correspond to Fagaceae, Rosaceae, Rhamnaceae, Anacardiaceae and Corylaceae (Huemer and Karsholt 1999;Brown 2008a, 2012). Diagnosis. ...
The new genus Amplusuncus gen. nov., with two new species, A. cantus sp. nov. and A. andes sp. nov. are described from Chile. Diagnostic characters and descriptions of the genus and each new species of adults and genitalia of males and females are illustrated. Schinus sp. (Anacardiaceae) is recorded as the host plant of A. andes sp. nov.
... Elsner vermeldt ook Rhamnus frangula (sporkehout) met een vraagteken. De rupsen van A. rancidella eten de onderepidermis van het blad op en laten daardoor een transparant stuk blad achter dat algauw bruin kleurt ( Huemer et al. 1999). Deze soort is wijd verspreid in Europa, maar ontbreekt wel volledig in Noord-Europa (Karsholt 2013). ...
... Deze soort wordt steeds schaarser naar het zuiden toe en is zelfs afwezig in de mediterrane regio ( Huemer et al. 2010). Huemer et al. 1999) en werd ook eenmalig uitgekweekt van op Lotus corniculatus (gewone rolklaver) ( Bland et al. 2002c). C. fumatella werd voor het eerst uit België gemeld in 1997: 1 ex. ...
... 1997(Valenne 2000). De soort prefereert zandige habitats zoals kusten of rivieroevers, maar wordt ook meer en meer gevonden op kalk-of kleirijke grond ( Huemer et al. 1999). De imago's vliegen van eind juni tot augustus in één generatie per jaar ( Bland et al. 2002c). ...
Resultaten van de Werkgroep Bladmineerders uit 2016 met meldingen van minerende en andere zeldzame Lepidoptera in België en met 5 nieuwe soorten voor de Belgische fauna (Coleophoridae, Tortricidae, Gelechiidae en Nepticulidae) Steve Wullaert Samenvatting. Belangrijke meldingen van zeldzame en nieuwe soorten voor de Belgische fauna worden meegedeeld. De nieuwe soorten zijn: 1. Coleophora coronillae (Zeller, 1849) (Coleophoridae), 2 imago's gevangen in het natuurgebied Negenoord-Kerkeweerd te Dilsen-Stokkem (LI) 9.vii.2016, op genitaal gecontroleerd. 2. Coleophora ramosella Zeller, 1849 (Coleophoridae), enkele imago's werden tijdens een excursie te Maupas (NA) op 1.vii.2016 gevangen. De dag erna werden nog enkele exemplaren gevangen te Furfooz (NA) op 2.vii.2016, een gebied dat 15 km verwijderd ligt van de vorige vindplaats. Alle exemplaren werden microscopisch onderzocht. 3. Selenodes karelica (Tengström, 1875) (Tortricidae), één exemplaar werd tijdens een nachtvlinderinventarisatie te Torgny (LX) op 8.viii.2016 gevangen en naderhand op genitaal gecontroleerd. 4. Anacampsis timidella (Wocke, 1887) (Gelechiidae), tijdens dezelfde nachtinventarisatie te Torgny op 8.viii.2016 werd één exemplaar meegenomen en op genitaal gedetermineerd. 5. Stigmella mespilicola (Frey, 1856) (Nepticulidae), op 20.viii.2016 werd tijdens een inventarisatie in Tienne de Boton te Rochefort (NA) een bladmijn meegenomen op Sorbus torminalis waarvan het achteraf na DNA-onderzoek bleek te gaan om een nieuwe soort voor België. Abstract. Important records of rare and new species for the Belgian fauna are given. The new species are: 1. Coleophora coronillae (Zeller, 1849) (Coleophoridae), 2 specimens were caught in the nature reserve "Negenoord-Kerkeweerd" at Dilsen-Stokkem(LI) on 9.vii.2016, 2 specimens were disected. 2. Coleophora ramosella Zeller, 1849 (Coleophoridae), some specimens were caught during an excursion at Maupas (NA) on 1.vii.2016. The day after some other specimens were collected at Furfooz (NA) on 2.vii.2016, 15 km away from the first site. Afterwards the genitalia of all the specimens were examined. 3. Selenodes karelica (Tengström, 1875) (Tortricidae)), one specimen was caught during an inventory of moths at Torgny (LX) on 8.viii.2016 and was checked on genital-structures afterwards. 4. Anacampsis timidella (Wocke, 1887) (Gelechiidae), one specimen was collected during the same night at Torgny on 8.viii.2016, its genitalia were studied. 5. Stigmella mespilicola (Frey, 1856) (Nepticulidae), on 20.viii.2016 a leafmine on Sorbus torminalis with a dead caterpillar in it was collected in "Tienne de Boton" at Rochefort. After DNA analysis it became clear that it was a new species for Belgium.
... Filatima angustipennis was synonymized with F. albicostella by Sattler (1968). Huemer and Karsholt (1999) reinstated F. angustipennis as a valid species based on the difference in the length and the emargination width of the vinculum as well as the shading of the color. However, the length and the emargination width of the vinculum are unreliable characters for a likely spreading species, and the shading of the color was also observed in the congeneric species, such as F. pallipalpella (Snellen, 1884) (Bidzilya and Nupponen 2018: 397) and F. yanchiensis sp. ...
... As there is only one specimen in this study, we herein follow Huemer and Karsholt (1999), treating F. angustipennis as a valid species. Sattler, 1961 (Figs 2, 12, 22) Filatima asiatica Sattler, 1961: 119. ...
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.
... A large number of species are also present in the Oriental, Neotropical, Afrotropical, and Australian Regions (Becker, 1984;Common, 1990;Heppner, 1991;Nielsen & Common 1991;Park, 1992). Gelechiidae is one of the least known families of micromoths in Europe, with onlymore than 600 species (Huemer & Karsholt, 1999). The last catalogue of Lithuanian Lepidoptera includes 163 species of this family (Ivinskis & Rimšaitė, 2018). ...
... The material is deposited in the collection of the Kaunas T. Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology. Species were identified using the following sources: Huemer & Karsholt (1999, 2010, 2013, Elsner et al. (1999). Rarity categories have been established according to the checklist of Lepidoptera of Lithuania (Ivinskis, 2004;Ivinskis & Rimšaitė, 2018 ...
This article presents data on 3 new (Metzneria aestivella, Syncopacma larseniella,
Acompsia schmidtiellus) and 6 rare for the Lithuanian fauna species of Gelechiidae.
Species were collected from 9 administrative districts and municipalities of Lithuania.
... While the males of all taxa included in Gelechiini and Gnorimoschemini have a culcitula (a membranous sac dorsad of the gnathos extending from the ventral surface of the anal cone) (see Figs. 4-6, Huemer and Karsholt 1999) and resolution among those genera is unknown, Litini have been characterized by a suite of characters without any presumption of character evolution or convergence. These include patches of raised scales on the forewing, a reduced gnathos, the phallus fused with the genital capsule, and the apophyses anteriores very long (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). In a recent phylogenetic analysis of Litini (=Teleiodini), Lee and Brown (2008) included all the genera subsumed by Huemer and Karsholt (1999) and previous authors (Janse 1958-1963, Becker 1984) based on the proposed set of defining characters, so did not attempt to resolve inclusion/ exclusion of gelechiine genera in the tribe in relation to other Gelechiinae. ...

Lee and Brown (2008) specifically conducted a combined analysis using outgroup taxa from different subfamilies other than Gelechiinae, so the monophyly of the ingroup taxa was assured a priori and their explicit goal was to find associations among already included genera. ...
Recent efforts to discover insect biological control agents of the Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae), include a new species belonging to a new genus, Spes schinella Metz, new genus, new species. We propose a hypothesis for placement of the new species among known Gelechiinae using the barcoding region of COI and targeted taxon sampling in a tree parsimony analysis, and discuss additional diagnostic morphological features for tribal placement. The new species is diagnosed, described, and illustrated.
... The adults were collected by light trap or by netting. Male and female genitalia were dissected and prepared using standard methods (Huemer and Karsholt 1999). Pinned specimens were photographed mainly with an Olympus E-410 digital camera attached to an Olympus SZX12 microscope. ...

InTROduzIOnE La famiglia Gelechiidae stainton, 1854 in Eu-ropa comprende 865 specie. La sottofamiglia Gele-chiinae è la più numerosa per numero di specie e ne conta 445, le tribù Gnorimoschemini e Litini rispetti-vamente 240 e 73 (Huemer & Karsholt, 2020). La checklist della fauna italiana riporta 359 specie di Ge-lechiidae (Huemer & Karsholt, 1995) e necessita di aggiornamento a seguito delle numerose pubblicazioni dell'ultimo decennio su questa famiglia. Lucio Morin nel corso delle ricerche che con-duce da anni sulla biodiversità dei lepidotteri del carso triestino ha raccolto molto materiale in attesa di pub-blicazione. Lutilabria lutilabrella (Mann, 1857) è nota di slovenia, Croazia, Bosnia Herzegovina, slovacchia, Bulgaria, ucraina e Grecia (Huemer & Karsholt, 2010); Streyella anguinella (Herrich-schäffer, 1861) ha distribuzione molto frammentata, dalla spagna alla Grecia, dalla Russia al nord Africa. Queste due specie non erano ancora state reperite in Italia; l'area di ri-cerca, il Monte stena (Carso Triestino, Val Rosandra) è noto per la presenza di una specie endemica di Co-leophoridae, Coleophora carsica Baldizzone, 2010 e per la flora particolarmente ricca (nimis et al., 2006). L'habitat è una tipica landa carsica con arbusti e pra-terie xeriche. Questo è il secondo contributo alla co-noscenza della biodiversità dei lepidotteri del Monte stena dopo la pubblicazione di Baldizzone su Coleo-phora carsica Baldizzone, 2010 (Baldizzone, 2011). Abbreviazioni LMCR = collezione Lucio Morin Prep. mic. = preparato microscopico TG = Giovanni Timossi MATERIALI E METOdI Per i Lepidotteri ad attività notturna, come nel caso delle specie in oggetto, si sfrutta il fototropismo positivo: sono quindi state utilizzate luci di attrazione attinica e super attinica poste all'interno di una pira-mide di tulle sorretta da appositi sostegni. Gli esem-plari studiati sono stati raccolti vivi con provette in vetro e successivamente preparati in laboratorio se-condo le metodologie indicate da Parenti (2000) e Bal-dizzone (2019). La preparazione degli apparati genitali si basa sulle indicazioni di Robinson (1976) con al-cune modifiche. La tecnica di dissezione dei genitali e la realizzazione dei preparati microscopici è stata così eseguita: 1) distacco dell'addome; 2) macerazione dell'addome in soluzione KOH bollente al 10% (15-20 minuti); 3) lavaggio dell'addome in acqua distillata BOLL.

Comprehensive genetic surveys of Lepidoptera are still largely lacking across most of the eastern Mediterranean. Consequently, there is a lack of modern, taxonomically validated checklists that meet current scientific standards. In this study, we analyze the butterfly and moth fauna of Crete (Greece) for the first time, based on 3110 DNA barcode sequences, primarily obtained from specimens based on our own sampling program. Building on these data, and incorporating previously published records from print sources and online forums, we establish the first comprehensive checklist of the island’s fauna. In total, the occurrence of 1230 species from 62 families is confirmed, with 724 of them genetically verified. Among them, 75 species appear to be island endemics. The checklist includes 125 newly recorded species for Crete, validated by DNA barcoding (with 36 also being new for Greece), along with 23 species confirmed solely through morphological study, and another 16 only documented by photographs. Conversely, 212 previously reported species had to be removed as likely invalid. Furthermore, 112 unidentified sequence clusters (BINs—Barcode Index Numbers) were documented, taxonomic uncertainties that will require future integrative resolution.
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.

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.
The genus Palumbina Rondani, 1876 belongs to the family Gelechiidae, which was until recently believed to comprise 26 species worldwide and mainly occurring in the Oriental region. Previously, only P.pylartis (Meyrick, 1908) had been recorded from this genus in Japan. In this study, five other species were identified. Four species were recorded for the first time in Japan, and another was newly described: P.acerosa Lee & Li, 2018; P.grandiunca Lee & Li, 2018; P.macrodelta (Meyrick, 1918), P.operaria (Meyrick, 1918) and P.muraseae Kyaw & Yagi, sp. nov. The host plant and larval feeding habits of P.pylartis, P.acerosa, P.grandiunca, and P.muraseae Kyaw & Yagi, sp. nov. were revealed. The immature stages of P.grandiunca, P.pylartis, and P.muraseae Kyaw & Yagi, sp. nov., including larval and pupal morphology, were first documented for the genus in which the larval chaetotaxy of P.pylartis and P.grandiunca is well observed. In their larval chaetotaxy, the details of their interspecific variation in the relative position and length of some setae are described. The pupal morphology of the species examined in this study is almost identical to the genus Thiotricha except for different traits on the abdominal segments A7 and A10. The traits of larval chaetotaxy and pupal morphology are also discussed for the subfamily. Photographs of the adult, male and female genitalia, and information on their biology and immature stages are provided.

The taxonomy of the Caryocolum tricolorella species complex, an informal subsection of the diverse Caryocolum interalbicella species group, is revised and four species are separated from DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) gene and adult morphology: C. tricolorella (Haworth, 1812), C. fibigerium Huemer, 1988, C. herwigvanstaai sp. nov. , and C. olekarsholti sp. nov. These species show a vicariant distribution pattern, with C. tricolorella widely distributed in Central and Northern Europe, C. fibigerium restricted to the Iberian Peninsula and southern France, C. herwigvanstaai sp. nov. to the Italian Peninsula, and C. olekarsholti sp. nov. to the Balkans. All species are described in detail, and the adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated.
The Chinese fauna of Psoricoptera Stainton, 1854 included two described species prior to this study. In the present paper we describe three new species: P. curva sp. nov., P. minutignatha sp. nov. and P. proximikawabei sp. nov. P. speciosella Teich, 1893 is recorded from China for the first time. The total number of Psoricoptera species in China is brought to six. The female of P. latignathosa is described for the first time. Photographs of adults and genitalia are provided, along with a key to the Chinese species. A Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree is provided for species identification and association of the sexes.
Four new species discovered in Spain are described: Agnoea (Agnoea) revillai Gastón & Vives, sp. n., Symmoca requenai Gastón & Vives, sp. n., Symmoca redondoi Gastón & Vives, sp. n. and Megacraspedus
carolustertius Gastón & Vives, sp. n. A taxonomic change is introduced with Symmoca degregorioi Requena, 2007 which is a new synonymy of Symmoca nigromaculella Ragonot, 1875. Symmoca revoluta Gozmány, 1985 is cited for the first time for Spain. The species Mirificarma scissella (Chrétien, 1915) is also cited for the first time for Spain and Europe. Females of Agnoea (Agnoea) xanthosoma (Rebel, 1900) and Symmoca senora Gozmány, 1977 are described. Photographs of the adults and genitalia are present.
This study reports 30 species of Lepidoptera previously known from either the Palearctic or the Nearctic that are newly recorded as Holarctic. For 28 of these species, their intercontinental distributions were initially detected through DNA barcode analysis and subsequently confirmed by morphological examination; two Palearctic species were first detected in North America through morphology and then barcoded. When possible, the origin and status of each species (introduced, overlooked Holarctic species, or unknowingly re-described) is discussed, and its morphology is diagnosed and illustrated. The species involved include Tineidae: Scardia amurensis Zagulajev, Triaxomera parasitella (Hübner), Nemapogon cloacella (Haworth), Elatobia montelliella (Schantz), Tinea svenssoni Opheim; Gracillariidae: Caloptilia suberinella (Tengström), Parornix betulae (Stainton); Phyllonorycter maestingella (Müller); Yponomeutidae: Paraswammerdamia albicapitella (Scharfenberg), P. conspersella (Tengström); Plutellidae: Plutella hyperboreella Strand; Lyonetiidae: Lyonetia pulverulentella Zeller; Autostichidae: Oegoconia deauratella (Herrich-Schäffer), O. novimundi (Busck); Blastobasidae: Blastobasis glandulella (Riley), B. maroccanella (Amsel), B. tarda Meyrick; Depressariidae: Agonopterix conterminella (Zeller), Depressaria depressana (F.); Coleophoridae: Coleophora atriplicis Meyrick, C. glitzella Hofmann, C. granulatella Zeller, C. texanella Chambers, C. vitisella Gregson ; Scythrididae: Scythris sinensis (Felder & Rogenhofer); Gelechiidae: Altenia perspersella (Wocke), Gnorimoschema jalavai Povolný, Scrobipalpa acuminatella (Sircom), Sophronia gelidella Nordman; Choreutidae: Anthophila fabriciana (L.); and Tortricidae: Phiaris bipunctana (F.). These cases of previously unrecognized faunal overlap have led to their redescription in several instances. Five new synonyms are proposed: Blastobasis glandulella (Riley, 1871) = B. huemeri Sinev, 1993, syn. nov.; B. tarda Meyrick, 1902 =Neoblastobasis ligurica Nel & Varenne, 2004, syn. nov.; Coleophora atriplicis Meyrick, 1928 = C. cervinella McDunnough, 1946, syn. nov.; C. texanella Chambers, 1878 = C. coxi Baldizzone & van der Wolf, 2007, syn. nov., and = C. vagans Walsingham, 1907, syn. nov. Lectotypes are designated for Blastobasis tarda Meyrick and Coleophora texanella Chambers. Type specimens were examined where pertinent to establish new synonymies. We identify 12 previously overlooked cases of species introductions, highlighting the power of DNA barcoding as a tool for biosurveillance.
We diagnose and describe Colonanthes korytkowski new species from Panamá and discuss the placement of the genus in Litini Bruand, 1859 (Gelechiinae). The genus was represented by a single species, Colonanthes plectanopa Meyrick, 1923, described from two male specimens collected at Manaus, Brazil and Yurimaguas, Peru. We include the first female description of a species in the genus and expand the distribution of the genus north by over 1000 km.
The checklist of European Gelechiidae covers 865 species, belonging to 109 genera, with three species records which require confirmation. Further, it is the first checklist to include a complete coverage of proved synonyms of species and at generic level. The following taxonomic changes are introduced: Pseudosophronia con-stanti (Nel, 1998) syn. nov. A peer-reviewed open-access journal Peter Huemer & Ole Karsholt / ZooKeys 921: 65-140 (2020) 66 Dichomeris neatodes Meyrick, 1923 sp. rev.; Caryocolum horoscopa (Meyrick, 1926) stat. rev.; Ivanauskiella occitanica (Nel & Varenne, 2013) sp. rev.; Apodia martinii Petry, 1911 sp. rev.; Caulastrocecis cryptoxena (Gozmány, 1952) sp. rev. Following Article 23.9.2 ICZN we propose Caryocolum blandella (Douglas, 1852) (Gelechia) nom. protectum and Caryocolum signatella (Eversmann, 1844) (Lita) nom. oblitum.
For the first time, a nearly complete barcode library for European Gelechiidae is provided. DNA barcode sequences (COI gene-cytochrome c oxidase 1) from 751 out of 865 nominal species, belonging to 105 genera, were successfully recovered. A total of 741 species represented by specimens with sequences ≥ 500bp and an additional ten species represented by specimens with shorter sequences were used to produce 53 NJ trees. Intraspecific barcode divergence averaged only 0.54% whereas distance to the Nearest Neighbour species averaged 5.58%. Of these, 710 species possessed unique DNA barcodes, but 31 species could not be reliably discriminated because of barcode sharing or partial barcode overlap. Species A peer-reviewed open-access journal Peter Huemer et al. / ZooKeys 921: 141-157 (2020) 142 discrimination based on the Barcode Index System (BIN) was successful for 668 out of 723 species which clustered from minimum one to maximum 22 unique BINs. Fifty-five species shared a BIN with up to four species and identification from DNA barcode data is uncertain. Finally, 65 clusters with a unique BIN remained unidentified to species level. These putative taxa, as well as 114 nominal species with more than one BIN, suggest the presence of considerable cryptic diversity, cases which should be examined in future revisionary studies.
Four years ago, the author listed 462 butterfly and moth species he had observed at his residence east of the town of Salzburg, in Guggenthal, in the municipality of Koppl. In the meantime 65 more species were identified there, which are listed in this first addendum. Comments on noteworthy species are given.

Recent efforts to discover insect biological control agents of the Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae), include a new species belonging to a new genus, Spes schinella Metz, new genus, new species. We propose a hypothesis for placement of the new species among known Gelechiinae using the barcoding region of COI and targeted taxon sampling in a tree parsimony analysis, and discuss additional diagnostic morphological features for tribal placement. The new species is diagnosed, described, and illustrated. © 2019 Entomological Society of Washington. All rights reserved.
The taxonomy of the Palearctic genus Megacraspedus Zeller, 1839 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) is revised, based on external morphology, genitalia and DNA barcodes. An integrative taxonomic approach supports the existence of 85 species which are arranged in 24 species groups (disputed taxa from other faunal regions are discussed). Morphology of all species is described and figured in detail. For 35 species both sexes are described; for 46 species only the male sex is reported, in one species the male is unknown, whereas in three species the female adult and/or genitalia morphology could not be analysed due to lack of material.
DNA barcode sequences of the COI barcode fragment with > 500 bp were obtained from 264 specimens representing 62 species or about three-quarters of the species. Species delimitation is particularly difficult in a few widely distributed species with high and allegedly intraspecific DNA barcode divergence of nearly 14%, and with up to 23 BINs in a single species. Deep intraspecific or geographical splits in DNA barcode are frequently not supported by morphology, thus indicating a complex phylogeographic history or other unresolved molecular problems.

Contribution to the knowledge of Microlepidoptera, with new mentions for
Spain and other contributions of interest (Insecta: Lepidoptera)
Abstract
Caloptilia perseae (Busck, 1920) (Canary Islands, Gracillariidae), Megacraspedus peyerimhoffi Le Cerf, 1925, Dichomeris ustalella (Fabricius, 1794), Dichomeris limosellus (Schläger, 1849, 1849) (Gelechiidae), Bactra simpliciana Chrétien, 1915 and Dichrorampha agilana (Tengström, 1848) (Tortricidae) is included for the firsth
time for Spain. Additional information for Oporopsamma dunaria (Sumpich, 2011) (Tortricidae). are mentioned. The females genitalia of Spilonota gallinerana (Sumpich, 2011) and Eucosma albarracina (Hartig, 1941)(Tortricidae) are presented for the first time.
Noteworthy records of 23 species of the family Gelechiidae from southern Siberia are reported. The following seven new species are described: Metzneria transbaikalica Bidzilya, sp. nov., Istrianis jaskai Bidzilya, sp. nov., Teleiopsis kyraensis Bidzilya, sp. nov., Athrips nigrilineella Bidzilya & K. Nupponen, sp. nov., Filatima multicornuta Bidzilya & K. Nupponen, sp. nov., Lutilabria pallidella K. Nupponen & Bidzilya sp. nov. and Caryocolum unicolorellum Bidzilya, sp. nov. Two new synonyms are established: Filatima bidentella Bidzilya, 1998 syn. nov. of Filatima asiatica Sattler, 1961; Filatima autocrossa Meyrick, 1937 syn. nov. of Filatima pallipalpella Snellen, 1884. Lutilabria kaszabi Povolný, 1978 is re-described based on additional material. The hitherto unknown females of Filatima asiatica, F. karsholti Ivinskis & Piskunov, 1989, F. sciocrypta (Meyrick, 1936) and Athrips kerzhneri Piskunov, 1990 are described. Dirhinosia interposita Bidzilya & Budashkin, 2015, Scrobipalpa flavinerva Bidzilya & Li, 2010, Scrobipalpa sinica Bidzilya & Li, 2010 and Filatima karsholti are recorded from Russia for the first time. Nine species are recorded for the first time from different regions of Siberia. Female brachyptery in Filatima Busck, 1939 and Lutilabria Povolný, 1965 is reported for the first time.
This paper provides a list of 125 species from 22 families of Microlepidoptera collected in the south of Krasnoyarsk Territory and in the Republic ofKhakassia, with 63 species (50%) and 2 families (Bucculatricidae and Elachistidae) recorded in the region for the first time, and 11 species from 6 families being new to Siberia: Cauchas fibulella, Nemophora fasciella, N. minimella (Adelidae), Phyllonorycter sorbicola, Phyllocnistis extrematrix (Gracillariidae), Cosmiotes freyerella, Elachista subocellea (Elachistidae), Caryocolum alsinella, Scrobipalpula diffluella (Gelechiidae), Agonopterix intersecta (Depressariidae), and Ypsolopha horridella (Ypsolophidae). Three species are new to science: Phyllonorycter sp. and Phyllocnistis verae (Gracillariidae) from the suburbs of Krasnoyarsk and Chrysoesthia sp. (Gelechiidae) from the Republic of Khakassia. Almost half of the faunistic findings belong to two families, Gelechiidae (34 species) and Gracillariidae (24 species). In the former family, the number of species distributed in Krasnoyarsk Territory and/or Khakassia was increased by 1.5 times based on our collection. Trophic specialization remains unknown only for 7 of the 125 species. Most (90%) of the remaining 118 species are phytophagous, the others are saprophagous; 53 species are known as leaf miners. Phytophagous species feed on plants of 36 families and 21 orders. The largest number of microlepidopteran species inhabit plants of the orders Rosales and Fagales (25 and 24 species, respectively). Twelve species are known as pests: Tineidae (4 species), Gracillariidae, Gelechiidae (2 species in each), Argyresthiidae, Choreutidae, Lyonetiidae, and Plutellidae (one species in each). Four pest species have expanded beyond the Palaearctic in the last century: Choreutis pariana (Choreutidae), Scrobipalpa atriplicella (Gelechiidae), Plutella xylostella (Plutellidae), and Niditinea fuscella (Tineidae).
The Holarctic genus Agonochaetia is reviewed and a new species, Agonochaetia shawinigan Landry, sp. nov. is described from Québec, Canada. In addition, a new glandiductor-bearing genus and species, Canarischema fuerteventura Karsholt, gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from the Canary Islands. Comparative diagnoses, a key to species, illustrations of external aspect, male and female genitalia are provided for all species. Most species of Agonochaetia are rarely collected and known only from their types or from very few specimens. DNA barcodes are provided for four of the species from which DNA was recovered. Analysis of DNA barcodes suggests that Agonochaetia may be paraphyletic. Phylogenetic relationships to other Gnorimoschemini genera bearing a pair of glandiductors above the phallus are discussed.
