Abstract

The results of the study of unidentified material from the Russian Far East and from Japan are presented. The following new species are described: Dryadaula ussurica, D. multifurcata, Nemapogon robusta, N. echinata, N. agnathosella, Agnathosia chasanica, Eudarcia ronata, E. sinjovi, E. dentata, Crypsithyris saigusai, Monopis zagulajevi. Morophaga parabucephala Ponomarenko & Park, 1996 is placed in the synonymy of M. bucephala (Snellen, 1884). The species orientanus Ponomarenko & Park, 1996, described in the genus Ceratuncus, is attributed to the genus Triaxomasia, the species orbiculidomus (Sakai & Saigusa, 1999) described in the genus Obesoceras, is attributed to the genus Eudarcia (new combination). A catalogue of the species from the Russian Far East and from Japan is given.
