The paper summarizes the results of our study of selected Microlepi- doptera families (Meessiidae, Tineidae, Douglasiidae, Epermeniidae, Glyphi- pterigidae: Acrolepiinae) collected in the Russian Altai. Tinea altaica sp. nov. is described from the vicinity of Tashanta on the Russian-Mongolian border and from Mongolia. The new species distantly resembles Tinea semifulvella Haworth, 1828 and T. semifulvelloides Petersen, 1973. The up to now unknown females of Klimeschia biarmatella Budashkin, 2003 and Monopis luteocostalis Gaedike, 2006 are described. Scardia boletella (Fabricius, 1794), Crassicornella crassicornella (Zeller, 1847), Trichophaga ziniella Zagulajev, 1960, Tineola bisselliella (Hummel, 1823), Monopis laevigella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775), M. pallidella Zagula- jev, 1955, Epermenia ochreomaculella asiatica Gaedike, 1979, and Acrolepiopsis sapporensis (Matsumura, 1931) are recorded from the Altai Republic for the fi rst time. Tinea hongorella Zagulajev, 1975 and Klimeschia biarmatella Budashkin, 2003, so far known only from the holotypes, are new species for Russia. Tinea hongorella is also a new species for Europe.

Additional material was obtained from Andreas Stübner (Peitz, Germany), Jari Junnilainen (Vantaa, Finland), the 260 GAEDIKE & ŠUMPICH: A new Tinea and new records of small moths from Altai Hungarian National History Museum (Budapest, Hungary), and the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (Müncheberg, Germany). As the material contains, beside one new species, so far unknown females of two species, and a number of faunistically interesting records, it seems justifi ed to publish those records as a substantial contribution to our current knowledge of the Altai fauna. None of the presented Lepidoptera groups has been studied intensively from the Altai Re- public. The current checklist of moths of the Altai Republic, published within the Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Russia (SINEV 2008), was compiled from various sources. Additional records of the mentioned taxa were published in BIDZILYA et al. (2002), GAEDIKE (2006, 2010), and GAEDIKE & MALLY (2014). In this paper, we present the records of 22 species in total, from which 11 species are new for the Altai Republic. Material and methods The material collected by the second author has been caught at light (UVA fl uorescent tubes 8W) with portable light traps. These traps were used in various kinds of habitats to sample Lepidoptera species from other habitats than mountain grass steppe, which was the prevailing habitat type. The material was identifi ed by both authors, with the respective identifi er discernible from the designation of the genitalia slides. The identifi er’s name is mentioned only for those species where genitalia were not dissected. Published records for the Altai Region are cited in the distribution sections. General information on the distribution of particular species is derived from the fi rst author’s large collection and database. The examined material is deposited in the following collections: ASPG Andreas Stübner, Peitz, Germany; HNHM Hungarian National History Museum, Budapest, Hungary; JJVF Jari Junnilainen, Vantaa, Finland; NMPC National Museum, Praha, Czech Republic; SDEI Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg, Germany.
