Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Tineiden von Nepal und benachbarter Gebiete (Lepidoptera: Tineidae).

Abstract

The hitherto undetermined Tineidae from the Nepal expeditions of the Zoologische Staatssammlung München were studied, together with material from the museums of Paris, Helsinki, Copenhagen, and some specimens from India and Pakistan from the collections of Georg Derra and Ernst Arenberger. The following new species are described: Rhodobates dierli sp. n.; R. pusillus sp. n.; Infurcitinea fibigeri sp. n.; Pachyarthra nepalica sp. n.; P. dierli sp. n.; P. aurata sp. n.; Edosa aculeata sp. n.; E. parva sp. n.; E. magna sp. n.; E. fastigata sp. n.; E. rapticola sp. n.; E. clavifera sp. n.; E. dierli sp. n.; E. hackeri sp. n.; E. spinosa sp. n.; E. fibigeri sp. n.; Tinea nepalica sp. n.; Crypsithyris arenbergerarum sp. n.; C. nepalicola sp. n.; C. cornuta sp. n. Female genitalia of the following three species are described for the first time: Edosa opsigona (Meyrick, 1911), E. nestoria (Meyrick, 1910), and Perissomastix (Aphrodoxa) peterseni (Amsel, 1959). Edosa subochraceella (Walsingham, 1886); E. orphnodes (Meyrick, 1911); Perissomastix afghana (Petersen, 1959); Monopis longella (Walker, 1863), and Gerontha dracuncula Meyrick, 1928 are recorded as new for the fauna of Nepal, Edosa synaema (Meyrick, 1905) and Perissomastix afghana (Petersen, 1959) for Pakistan, and Perissomastix (Aphrodoxa) peterseni (Amsel, 1959) for India. Adults and genitalia of all new species are figured.
