Mondeguina, a new genus for Apatetris mediterranella Nel & Varenne, 2012, with description of a new species from Portugal (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) https://nl.pensoft.net/article/50430/ Nota Lepidopterologica 43: 151-166

DOI: 10.3897/nl.43.50430

Authors: Martin F. V. Corley, Jorge Rosete, Sónia Ferreira

Abstract: Following the discovery of a new species on the western coast of Portugal which is closely related to Apatetris mediterranella Nel & Varenne, 2012, the generic placement of both species is considered in relation to other genera within the Apatetris complex resulting in the description of a new genus, Mondeguina.

Holcophora Staudinger, 1871, a senior synonym of Aponoea Walsingham, 1905, syn. n., (Lepidoptera, Gelechioidea, Gelechiidae): with Holcophora inderskella (Caradja, 1920), comb. n., transferred from Blastobasis Zeller, 1855 (Blastobasidae) https://nl.pensoft.net/article/28505/ Nota Lepidopterologica 42(1): 17-25

DOI: 10.3897/nl.42.28505

Authors: David Adamski, Klaus Sattler

Abstract: Blastobasis inderskella Caradja, 1920, is transferred from Blastobasidae to Gelechiidae and placed in the Palaearctic genus Holcophora Staudinger, 1871. The genus Aponoea Walsingham, 1905, syn. n., is newly synonymized with Holcophora, and three new combinations are proposed: Holcophora inderskella (Caradja, 1920), comb. n., H. obtusipalpis (Walsingham, 1905), comb. n. and H. pruinosella (Chrétien, 1915), comb. n. Lectotypes are designated for Holcophora statices Staudinger, 1871, and Aponoea obtusipalpis Walsingham, 1905. Holcophora inderskella is redescribed with supportive images of diagnostic features. Its unique frontal process is described and illustrated and aspects of frontal processes in Gelechiidae are discussed.

Two new species of Ephysteris Meyrick, 1908, from Asia with brachypterous males (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) https://nl.pensoft.net/article/23395/ Nota Lepidopterologica 41(1): 107-112

DOI: 10.3897/nl.41.23395

Authors: Oleksiy Bidzilya, Ole Karsholt

Abstract: Two new species of Gelechiidae: Ephysteris kullbergi sp. n. from Tuva (Russia) and Ephysteris ustjuzhanini sp. n. from Mongolia are described. In both species the hindwings in both sexes are distinctly reduced. The adults and genitalia are illustrated. Brachyptery in Gelechiidae and Ephysteris is briefly discussed, and type locality of E. kullbergi sp. n. is illustrated. The locomotion of E. kullbergi sp. n. is described.

A remarkable new species of the genus Catatinagma Rebel, 1903 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) from Turkmenistan https://nl.pensoft.net/article/1153/ Nota Lepidopterologica 37(1): 67-74

DOI: 10.3897/nl.37.7935

Authors: Oleksiy V. Bidzilya

Abstract: A new highly specialized Catatinagma Rebel, 1903 species is described from Turkmenistan. Both sexes have completely reduced hindwings and strongly reduced forewings. The adults are active in February, jumping amongst Carex physodes M. Bieb. and being associated with rodent burrows. The new species is similar to Metanarsia trisignella Bidzilya, 2008, in the male genitalia. Both species are placed here provisionally in Catatinagma Rebel, 1903, and their position within Apatetrini is briefly discussed. The adult and the genitalia of both sexes are illustrated, and the behaviour of the new species is described.
