New and poorly known Tineidae from the Western Palaearctic (Lepidoptera).

Abstract

As the result of the study of tineid material, which was collected in numerous countries of Western Palaearctic, were etablished first records for 8 countries, two of them are first records for Europe. The material contains four species, which are described as new species: Neurothaumasia tenuipennella, Neurothaumasia tunesiella, Infurcitinea corleyi and Ateliotum larseni. From Matratinea rufulicaput Sziraki & Szöcs, 1990 and Anomalotinea gardesanella (Hartig, 1950) were described and illustrated the female genitalia for the first time, from Elatobia bugrai Kocak, 1981 were described and illustrated the male genitalia for the first time. The examination of the type series of Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis Osthelder, 1936 shows, that this taxon is a new synonym of Euplocamus delagrangei Ragonot, 1895. There was designated and selected the lectotype for Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis Osthelder, 1936.
