New records of Tineidae from the Maltese Islands including description of a new species Eudarcia melitensis sp. n. (Lepidoptera)

A new species of Tineidae, Eudarcia melitensis sp. n. is described from Malta. Ovum, larva, larval case, male and female genitalia and biology of the species are described and illustrated. Four species, Eudarcia derrai, Proterospastis autochthones, Phereoeca lodli and Tinea messalina are recorded for the first time from the Maltese islands. E. derrai is redescribed including description of larva, larval case, female genitalia and habitat. Eight previously recorded species from Malta are also confirmed.peer-reviewe

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

Im Ergebnis der Untersuchung von Tineiden-Material, welches in zahlreichen Ländern der Westpaläarktis gesammelt wurde, konnten für 8 Länder Erstfunde festgestellt werden, zwei davon sind Erstfunde für Europa. Das Material enthielt vier Arten, die als neue Arten beschrieben werden: Neurothaumasia tenuipennella, Neurothaumasia tunesiella, Infurcitinea corleyi und Ateliotum larseni. Von Matratinea rufulicaput Sziraki & Szöcs, 1990 und Anomalotinea gardesanella (Hartig, 1950) werden erstmals die weiblichen Genitalien abgebildet und beschrieben, von Elatobia bugrai Kocak, 1981 werden erstmals die männlichen Genitalien abgebildet und beschrieben. Die Untersuchung der Typenserie von Euplocamus anthracinalis amanalis Osthelder, 1936 zeigte, dass es sich hierbei um ein Synonym von Euplocamus delagrangei Ragonot, 1895 handelt.

Contribution to the Lepidoptera fauna of the Madeira Islands. Part 2. Tineidae, Acrolepiidae, Epermeniidae.

Es wird eine Übersicht über die drei Familien Tineidae, Epermeniidae und Acrolepiidae auf den Madeira Inseln gegeben. Die drei neue Arten Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mouli sp. n. und A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) werden beschrieben, zwei neue Kombinationen bei den Tineidae: Ceratobia oxymora (Meyrick) comb. n. und Monopis barbarosi (Koçak) comb. n. werden aufgeführt. Trichophaga robinsoni nom. n. wird als Ersatzname für den präokkupierten Namen T. abruptella (Wollaston, 1858) eingesetzt. Die Familie Acrolepiidae (mit A. vesperella (Zeller) und den zwei unten neu beschriebenen Arten) wird erstmals auf Madeira nachgewiesen, wie auch die drei Tineidenarten Stenoptinea cyaneimarmorella (Millière), Ceratobia oxymora (Meyrick) und Trichophaga tapetzella (Linnaeus). Die Funde von Psychoides filicivora (Meyrick) auf Madeira sind die ersten Nachweise außerhalb der Britischen Inseln. Tinea pellionella Linnaeus, Monopis laevigella (Denis & Schiffermüller) und M. imella (Hübner) werden aus der Liste der Madeira-Lepidopteren gestrichen.

Three new species: Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mouli sp. n. and A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) are described, and two new combinations in the Tineidae: Ceratobia oxymora (Meyrick) comb. n. and Monopis barbarosi (Koçak) comb. n. are listed. Trichophaga robinsoni nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied T. abruptella (Wollaston, 1858). The first record from Madeira of the family Acrolepiidae (with Acrolepiopsis vesperella (Zeller) and the two above mentioned new species) is presented, and three species of Tineidae: Stenoptinea cyaneimarmorella (Millière), Ceratobia oxymora (Meyrick) and Trichophaga tapetzella (Linnaeus) are reported as new to the fauna of Madeira. The Madeiran records given for Psychoides filicivora (Meyrick) are the first records of this species outside the British Isles.
