Revision der Perissomasticini (Lepidoptera: Tineidae).

Abstract

This paper gives an account of the tribe Perissomasticini, a group of genera allied to Perissomastix, and defined as monophyletic. 70 species in 10 genera are ascribed to it. Keys are provided to genera and species. Significance and variability of genitalia characters are discussed as like as the hitherto known distribution. 3 genera and one species are described as new, and one new synonymy is established.
