Ergebnisse der Albanien-Expedition 1961 des Deutschen Entomologischen Institutes. 52. Beitrag. Lepidoptera: Plutellidae.

Abstract

As part of a comprehensive survey of the Plutellidae of the Balkan peninsula, detailed data are given of the species found in Albania. The material from that country consisted of 19 individuals of 3 species (including 2 first finds) collected by the expedition to Albania by Deutsches Entomologisches Institut and 6 individuals of 4 species (1 first find) from the Museum of Natural History in Vienna, collected by the Austrian expedition to Albania in 1918. Including data from publications, 17 species of the 34 species of the Balkan peninsula are now known from Albania. Of systematic interest are the new combination of Subeidophasia wolfschlägeri (Rebel, 1941), which was so far counted among the genus Cerostoma, the new synonymy of Eidophasia zukowskyi Amsel, 1939 and Eidophasia syenitella ssp. concinnella Christoph, 1888, and the establishment of lectotypes of Ypsolophus minotaurellus ssp. albanica Rebel, 1931.
