Part 14. Elachistidae. (Insecta, Lepidoptera) by V asily V. Anikin, Sergey A. Sachkov , V adim V. Zolotuhin & Sergey Y u . Sinev received 5. November 2007 Summary: 65species of Elachistidae are listed from the Volgo-Ural Region. 64 species are recorded from the region in addition to Eversmann ’s list. Introduction: This paper is the 14lh in a series of publications', dealing with the composition of the present-day fauna of the family Elachistidae in the Middle Volga and the south­ western Cisurals. This region comprises of the administrative divisions of Astrakhan-, Volgograd-, Saratov-, Samara-, Uljanovsk-, Orenburg-, Uralsk- and Atyraus-(=Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bashkiria. As was accepted in previous parts of this series, only material reliably labeled and spanning mostly the last 25-50 years was used for this study. The main collections are those of the authors: V. Anikin (Saratov and Astrakhan Distr. and Kalmyk. Republic), S. Sachkov (Samara Distr.) and V. Zolotuhin (Uljanovsk and Astrakhan Distr.). Whilst completing this list we also took advantage of the information from recent papers on this region (Sachkov , 1996; Sachkov et al., 1996; Zolotuhin , 2001; K aila et al., 2003). The material in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) has also been examined for our study. In the text we follow more traditional system proposed by E. T raugott -O lsen and E. Schmidt N ielsen (1977) and used in the main regional catalogs and determination keys (F alkovitsh , 1986; Parenti , 1996; Sinev & Sruoga , 1997). The synonymy is taken mainly from the review by L. K aila (1999). The list of food plants is taken from T raugott -O lsen & Schmidt N ielsen (1977). The authors would like to extend their thanks to Dr L. K aila (Finnish Museum of Natural History, Helsinki, Finland) and Dr V. Sruoga (Vilnius Pedagogical University, Lithuania) for valuable help in determination of the material; as a matter of fact all specimens from Uljanovsk Disr. were examined and if necessary re-identified by Dr L. K aila . For the ease of use, information is given in the form of a table, with the principal data of all species mentioned from the Volgo-Ural region. Many localities have been renamed during the last 150 years, the most important ones being listed below: 'This series was started in Atalanta 24: 89-120 (1993) 395 ©Entomologisches Museum Dr. Ulf Eitschberger, download unter www.zobodat.at Uralsk - later Chkalov - now Uralsk Samara - later Kujbyshev - now Samara Simbirsk - now Uljanovsk Sarepta - now Krasnoarmejsk of the Volgograd District Waskuntschatskoi - usually noted as Baskunchak (Astrakhan District) Zarizyn or Tsarizyn - later Stalingrad - now Volgograd.

THOMAS KING was born on the I4th April 1834, at Yardfoot, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire, a farm which was owned and occupied by his father. He received his early education in a small school in the village of Glenhead. He was destined to be a teacher, and in 1855, after the sale of his birthplace, and the removal of the family to Glasgow, he entered the Normal Training College of the Free Church of Scotland. The early bent of his mind revealed itself in his attendance on the class of Botany in that Institution. In 1862 he was appointed teacher of English in the Garnet Bank Academy, where, in addition to the ordinary subjects, he taught an advanced class of Botany. The work of the session, however, proved too much for his strength, which had never been robust, and he was obliged to relinquish the position.

    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract The Elachista puplesisi group is defined. Its characterization is based on two species, E. puplesisi Sruoga, 2000, known from the holotype collected in Turkmenistan and E. helia sp. nov., from Rhodos, Greece. The group is assigned to the subgenus Atachia of Elachista, but its affinities within Atachia remain unknown. Key words: Elachistinae, Elachista, Atachia Introduction Elachista puplesisi Sruoga, 2000 was described on the basis of a single male specimen collected from the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The species appeared bizarre in its morphology, and its systematic position was left unresolved in the original description, with the remark that it likely represents a separate species group within Elachista, or even a new genus (Sruoga 2000). The species indeed possesses features rare among Elachista, as well as an unusual combination of characters, which did not make it straightforward to place this species in the phylogenetic concept of Elachistinae of Kaila (1999).

Donelaičio 58, LT-442448 Kaunas, Lithuania; 2, 3Institute of Ecology of Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Introduction The subfamily Elachistinae (family Elachistidae) belongs to the megadiverse lepidopteran superfamily Gelechioidea and contains presently 805 described species considered valid (Kaila, 2019). The larvae are obligate leaf miners, most species feed on monocotyledonous grasses and only some on dicotyledonous plants (Parenti & Varalda, 1994; Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2005). The moths are small, often cryptic, with a wingspan usually between 4 and 20 mm. Adults are poorly attracted to light and usually escape the general moth surveys and are poorly represented in museum and private collections. Therefore, the knowledge on species distribution is still insufficient. Since the monograph on Elachistidae of Lithuania (Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2005), only few papers dealing with the distribution of elachistid species in Lithuania have been published (Paulavičiūtė, 2006, 2008a, 2008b; Paulavičiūtė et al., 2017; Paulavičiūtė & Inokaitis, 2018; Ostrauskas et al., 2010a, 2010b; Sruoga & Ivinskis, 2011, 2017). The purpose of this paper is to provide new distribution data on two new and another eleven Elachistinae species reported from 11 administrative districts in Lithuania. Material and Methods Adult moths were collected by attracting them to mercury-vapour light and swept from low vegetation in the evening before sunset. The specimens were collected by Povilas Ivinskis (P.
