Externally G. herbichii is a very variable species (Huemer &amp; Karsholt, 2010). It is characterized by blackish grey forewing with highlighted veins, black spots in cell and fold mottled with light brown, and the dirty white subapical fascia on ¾ that usually presents. The comparatively broad phallus that is 2–2.5times broader than its caecum, the posterior margin of vinculum strongly projected posteriolaterally, in combination with narrow sacculus are characteristic features of the male genitalia. The female genitalia are characterized by the welldeveloped antrum in combination with short apophysis anteriores that are slender throughout.</p><p>G. soffneri is very similar to G. herbichii but has the reddish brown pattern more strongly expressed. The genitalia of both species are very similar (see for the differences Huemer &amp; Karsholt, 2010 and below under “Remarks”).</p><p>Description. See Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010.</p><p>Biology. The larva feeds on Equisetum arvense L. ( Equisetaceae) and on Salix repens L. ( Salicaceae) in Europe (Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010). However, the feeding on Equisetum may suggest a different species so deviant is this host plant from what is known of other Gnorimoschema (J.-F. Landry, pers. comm.).</p><p>Adults were observed from May to August in steppe habitats from sea level up to an elevation of 1260 m.</p><p>Distribution. China (Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang), Mongolia, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan (Falkovitsh &amp; Bidzilya 2009), Russia: Murmansk region, Karelia Republic, Kirov region, Udmurtia Republic, Irkutsk region (new record) Buryatia Republic, Zabaikalskiy krai, Kamchatka (Ponomarenko, 2008; Bolshakov et al. 2014), Chukchi AR (new record), Europe, Canada.</p><p>Remarks. Most specimens from China externally resemble more G. soffneri (see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010: fig. 1) than G. herbichii (Figs 5, 6) in having well developed reddish-brown markings on the forewing and a comparatively small size. Two specimens (gen. slide nos. L06142 ♂; L06089 ♀) are dark, ochreous brown instead of reddish brown (Figs 3, 4). The male genitalia match to those of G. herbichii from other regions (Figs 29, 30) except for the sacculus which is broader, longer and weakly curved. The same broad, but less elongated and more strongly curved sacculus is characteristic for G. soffneri (see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010: fig. 1). The externally different male (gen. slide no. L06142) (Fig. 4) also slightly differs from the rest of specimens in the more elongated posteriolaterally posterior margin of the vinculum in the male genitalia (Fig. 28). The female genitalia of all Chinese specimens match well those of G. herbichii (Figs 52, 53), except for one specimen (gen. slide no. L06048) which differs in the narrower antrum (Fig. 51). So the specimens from China slightly differ in the male genitalia from both G. herbichii and G. soffneri in the shape of sacculus, but the female genitalia match better those of G. herbichii . Taking in account these suggestions we consider the Chinese specimens to be G. herbichii, although their status should be confirmed by DNA studies.</p><p>We also compared our material with G. soffneri montanum (Povolný, 1966), which was described from the mountains of Afghanistan. This subspecies is diagnosed by its uniformly coloured yellowish to ochreous brown forewing with grey irroration along the veins and costal margin. We were able to study the holotype of of G. s. montanum, as well as four males and one female from Bukhara district (Uzbekistan) and three males from Afghanistan (Fig. 7). The male genitalia differ both from G. soffneri and G. herbichii (including the series from China) in the present of distinct medial subtriangular hump on the posterior margin of the vinculum and stronger broadened distal portion of the valva (Figs 31, 32). The narrow vinculum of this subspecies seems more similar to G. herbichii, but the female genitalia (Fig. 54) match better those of the nominotypical G. s. soffneri . One female from this series fits G. herbichii both externally and in genitalia, thus we conclude that G. herbichii and G. s. montanum may occur sympatrically. The external and genitalia differences suggest that ssp. montanum may be a separate species, but the intermediate forms (Povolný 1992: 227; Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010: 40) need to be examined to confirm this suggestion.</p><p>Gnorimoschema h. mongoliae was described from three males and one female collected in northern Mongolia. Gnorimoschema h. kamchaticum was described from four males and two females collected in “ Kamtschatka ”, East Russia. We examined one male paratype of the first and two male paratypes of the latter taxa. We also studied several additional specimens of G. herbichii from the Southern Siberia and Chukotka (see material examined). These specimens are comparatively small and characterized by dark, blackish-grey forewing with poorly expressed orange markings. Similar dark, but usually larger specimens of G. herbichii are common in the northern Europe (Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010: 41). However, intermediate larger forms sometimes with ochreous markings occasionally occur among Siberian specimens. In general, the specimens from Kamchatka, Mongolia and Siberia fall within the range of the variation of nominotypical G. h. herbichii . This fact along with similarity in the genitalia does not warrant the recognition of subspecies and justify the synonymy of these taxa under G. herbichii (Nowicki, 1864) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11634A75FFEB3F65FF41FF0835C3B4FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species is recognizable by the rather uniformly coloured greyish- black to light-brown forewing with poorly developed black markings. The sacculus broad at base with the strongly inwardly curved distal portion in combination with the broad, truncate saccus are characteristic for the male genitalia. The female genitalia are defined by the narrow subtriangular posteriolateral sclerites that reach the posterior margin of sternum VIII.</p><p>Description. Adult (Figs 11–13). Wingspan 12.4–15.5 mm. Head grey to light black, frons light grey, labial palpus upcurved, light grey densely motlled with brown-tipped scales, inner and upper surface of segment 2 white, underside with distinct ridge, segment 3 brown with white middle belt and white apex; scape black, other antennal segments brown with white rings at base; thorax and tegulae grey to brown; forewing narrow, light grey, distinctly irrorated with brown and reddish brown particularly along veins, costal margin mottled with black, dorsal margin usually light, greyish to off-white, three diffuse reddish spots in cell, cilia white, brown-tipped; hindwing light grey.</p><p>Variation. The species varies from nearly uniformly light brown to mostly black with reddish veins.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 35–37). Uncus subtriangular, apex pointed; gnathos weakly curved, of moderate width, slightly narrowed in middle; tegumen broad and long, anteromedial emargination deep, triangular; valva broad at base, curved in 1/3, middle portion very narrow, apex distinctly inflated, subtriangular; sacculus broad at base, distal portion narrow, strongly inwardly curved, gap to vincular process comparatively broad; vinculum broad, posterior margin with broad shallow medial emargination, vincular process short, hump-like; saccus subtriangular, top abruptly truncated, not extended beyond top of pedunculus; phallus of moderate width, with several small teeth on one side, apex weakly pointed with small downcurved arm, caecum inflated, about 1.5 times shorter than phallus.</p><p>Variation. Saccus slightly varies in width.</p><p>Female genitalia (Fig. 57). Papillae anales elongate, subtriangular, densely covered with short setae; apophysis posteriores three times longer than segment VIII; segment VIII subrectangular, slightly broader than long; subgenital plates separated with moderately broad to narrow membranous area covered with fine microtrichia, medially with elongate folds, posteriolateral sclerites subtriangular, lateral corner rounded, anterior corner prolonged to 2/3 length of sternite VIII or nearly to the base of apophysis anteriores, anterior margin of sternite VIII strongly sclerotized, concave, with paired madial projections; apophysis anteriores longer than segment VIII, distinctly broadened in basal half; colliculum cylindrical with lateral sclerotization; ductus bursae inflated after colliculum, ductus long and narrow; corpus bursae as long as ductus bursae, elongate, about of equal width, signum the entrance of corpus bursae, stout, distal hook long, moderately narrow, strongly curved at 1/3.</p><p>Variation. Base of signum and distal hook vary in length.</p><p>Remarks. The male genitalia of the new species resemble those of G. epithymellum but the valva is narower at base and more weakly curved, the distal part of the sacculus is shorter and more weakly curved, the saccus is more strongly tapered and the phallus is longer and narrower (see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010, fig. 7). G. steueri Povolný, 1975 is somewhat similar in the shape of sacculus, but differs in the broader saccus, shorter phallus, as well as broader tegumen and uncus (see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010, fig. 6). The sacculus of G. cinctipunctella is narrower at base and its distal portion is longer. The female genitalia most resemble those of G. nordlandicolella but the posteriolateral sclerites of the latter species are not reaching the posterior margin of sternite VIII and are usually narrower. G. cinctipunctella has broader and shorter posteriolateral sclerites and longer segment VIII.</p><p>Specimens from Mongolia (Povolný 1969, 2002) and Kyrgyzstan (Huemer 1996) which were treated as G. streliciellum mongolrum and G. nordlandicolella respectively actually represent G. fuscescens sp. nov.</p><p>Biology. Host plant unknown. Adult were collected in the steppe biotopes from late June to late August up to an elevation of 2250 m.</p><p>Distribution. China (Gansu, Inner Mongolia), Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin fuscescens, meaning brownish, and refers to the dominant colour of the forewing.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11634A75FFEC3F61FF41F9173716B2ED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Helan, Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, 2200 m, 7.viii.2011 (Lixia Li &amp; Yinghui Mu) (gen. slide nos. 74/14; 89/14, O. Bidzilya) (NKU).</p><p>Additional material studied. RUSSIA: 1 ♂, Zabaikalie, Selenginsk, 17.vi.1959 (Kolmakova) (gen. slide no. 144/ 14, O. Bidzilya) (ZIN).</p><p>Diagnosis. G. streliciellum is characterized by dark greyish-black forewing with black spots surrounded with reddish-brown scales and a diffuse dirty white oblique fascia at base. G. cinctipunctella is lighter, grey rather than black, and usually larger; G. nordlandicolella is larger, lighter, more uniformly coloured, without white markings at the base of the forewing and with white labial palpus. The male genitalia are characterized by the long, narrow, strongly downcurved distal portion of the sacculus in combination with the narrow elongated saccus and the hump on the posterior margin of the vinculum that is placed medially. The large triangular posteriolateral sclerites, the apophysis anteriores broadened in basal 1/ 3 in combination with nearly subqadrangular segment VIII are characteristic for the female genitalia. The genitalia of both sexes are most similar to those of G. cinctipunctella and G. rufomaculata sp. nov. For the differences see below under the “Remarks” for these species.</p><p>Description see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010.</p><p>Biology. The larvae were reported from Antennaria dioica L. (Gaertn.) ( Asteraceae) in Europe. The life style of larvae is described (Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010). In China adults were collected in early August at an elevation of 2200 m.</p><p>Distribution. Northern and parts of Central Europe (Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010), Russia (Middle Volga region, Burjatia; the examined records from other regions of the southern Siberia (Bidzilya 2009) must be referred to the next species), China: Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.</p><p>Remarks. Both females from China match well externally specimens from Europe but are smaller. Sternite VIII in the female genitalia is slightly broader and its anterior margin is more strongly sclerotized compared with the specimens from Europe. Moreover, the apophysis anteriores are broader at base in specimens from China. The male genitalia of the specimen from Selenginsk have shorter saccus and distally broader sacculus (see Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010: fig. 11 for comparison). These differences suggest that the specimens from China and Russia may represent a distinct species, but this needs to be tested by the study of additional material.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11634A75FFEE3F61FF41FE09319DB520	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is closely related to G. streliciellum and was considered a synomym of the latter. For differences see below under “Remarks”.</p><p>G. cinctipunctella is characterized by grey forewing with black markings and reddish brown spots. Due to considerable external variability the species can hardly be separated from the sympatrically distributed G. streliciella except for the size (14–15 mm in G. streliciella and 15.8–21.2 mm in G. cinctipunctella). The forewing of G. streliciella is usually darker, blackish grey, with a poorly expressed reddish brown pattern. G. hoefneri known from the south-eastern Alps, is subequal in size to G. cinctipunctella but it is darker, with a more strongly developed black pattern. The male genitalia are characterized by the following combination of the characters: distal portion of the sacculus long, narrow, strongly downcurved; hump on the posterior margin of the vinculum shifted laterally towards the sacculus. The apophysis anteriores broadened in the basal half are characteristic of the female genitalia.</p><p>Redescription. Adult (Figs 16–20). Wingspan 15.8–21.2 mm. Head light grey, neck dark grey to brown, frons white, labial palpus pale, segment 2 mottled with brown on outer and lower surface, inner and upper surface white, segment 3 with two brown rings; scape brown, other antennal segments brown with light grey rings at base; thorax and tegulae brown; forewing covered with grey-brown tipped scales, subcostal area distinctly mottled with ochreous scales from base to 3/4, three or four black dots surrounded with ochreous in cell, black spot of irregular shape on 2/3 under costal margin, diffuse dirty-white oblique fascia from 1/5 of costa to about 1/3 of dorsum, black touch in middle of fold, white costal and tornal spots forming a diffuse fascia on 3/4, base and subapical area mottled with black, cilia grey-black-tipped; hindwing and cilia grey.</p><p>Variation. Coloration variable. Some specimens are uniformly grey or light brown with reduced markings or grey with black spots in cell but without reddish-brown scales.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 39–45). Uncus moderately narrow, apex triangular, pointed; gnathos short, weakly curved, narrow; tegumen narrow, anteromedial emargination deep, triangular; valva broad in basal third, then slender, weakly inwardly curved, apex inflated, weakly pointed; sacculus broad at base, distal portion long, narrow, strongly downcurved, gap to vincular process large; vinculum broad, posterior margin with broad medial emargination and with short triangular lateral process; saccus triangular, moderately narrow, top abruptly truncated, not extended beyond top of pedunculus; phallus narrow, pointed, with small subapical arm, caecum inflated, about 1.5 times shorter than phallus.</p><p>Variation. Valva and sacculus vary in length and width.</p><p>Female genitalia (Figs 60, 61). Papillae anales elongate, subtriangular, densely covered with short setae; apophysis posteriores narrow, more than two length of segment VIII; segment VIII subrectangular, longer than broad; subgenital plates folded medially, separated with moderately broad membranous area covered with fine microtrichia and weakly narrowed anteriorly; posteriolateral sclerites large, triangular with rounded posterior corners, anterior corner weakly projected anteriorly; anterior margin of sternite VIII strongly sclerotized, concave with paired medial projections; apophysis anteriores about as long as segment VIII, strongly broadened at base; colliculum as broader as long, ductus bursae narrow, inflated in distal portion; corpus bursae large, subovate, shorter than ductus bursae, signum near entrance of corpus bursae, base small, distal portion hook-shaped, strongly curved, tapered.</p><p>Variation. Segment VIII varies in length, its length/width ratio varies from 0.6 to 0.8.</p><p>Biology. Host plant unknown. The adults occur from late June to late August in steppe biotopes from 900 to 2200 m elevations.</p><p>Distribution. China (Gansu, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Qinghai), Mongolia, Russia: South Ural (Junnilainen et al. 2010), Altai, South of Krasnojarskiy krai, Zabaikalskiy krai, Amur Region (Povolný 2002; Ponomarenko 2008; Bidzilya 2009).</p><p>Remarks. Gelechia cinctipunctella Erschoff, 1877 was described from a single male collected in Albasino, Amur region of Russia. It was considered a subspecies of G. streliciellum (Povolný 1992, 2002; Huemer &amp; Karsholt 2010) because of its large size and grey forewing with distinct black markings. Recently G. cinctipuncetella was synonymized with G. streliciella (Ponomarenko 2008) .</p><p>G. mongolorum was described from 20 specimens of both sexes collected in Mongolia. The drawing of the genitalia of the female holotype from Chalchingol (Chojbalsan aimak) is given in the original description (Povolný 1969, Pl. 3, fig. 5), although the male paratype from the same locality is not figured. Based on the drawings, the male paratype from Mörön (Povolný 1969, Pl. 2, fig. 4) and the female paratype from “Uubulan am Fluss Tola” (Pl. 4, fig. 9) must be referred to G. fuscescens sp. nov.</p><p>Being originally described as a separate species G. mongolorum was later included as a subspecies in the “ G. streliciellum-mongolorum-cinctipunctellum -complex” which ranged from Europe to Amur region (Povolný 1992).</p><p>Our study of extensive material from southern Siberia and northern China showed that large specimens ( G. cinctipunctella) can occasionally be found among more abundant, smaller specimens of G. mongolorum that are varied both in size and in wing markings. The genitalia of both sexes of G. mongolorum match well those of G. cinctipunctella . The main differences are in the sacculus that is very long and outwardly curved in G. cinctipunctella and usually shorter and inwardly curved in G. mongolorum . However, we found that this character is quite variable and intermediate forms occur among sympatrically collected specimens. Hence, we consider G. mongolorum Povolný, 1969 a synonym of G. cinctipunctella (Erschoff, 1877) .</p><p>The specimens of the former “ G. mongolorum / G. cinctipunctellum ” complex differ from G. streliciella in having light grey rather than blackish-grey forewing with a poorly expressed reddish-brown pattern and larger size. In male genitalia the valva is narrower and its apex has slightly tapered inwardly curved tips, the hump in the middle of the posterior margin of the vinculum is shifted laterally towards the sacculus and the tegumen is narrower. The female genitalia of all three taxa are nearly indistinguishable, but the apophysis anteriores are strongly broadened at base in G. cinctipunctella . We consider these to be specific differences and thus re-instate G. cinctipunctella as a separate species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11634A75FFEE3F6FFF41F942372DB44D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is well recognizable externally by the light forewing with well developed reddishbrown spots and the lack of greyish-black markings. The posterior margin of vinculum with broad anteromedial emargination and lateral humps in combination with a narrow, elongated gnathos (ration lenght/width = 6.6–7.0) and valva with strongly broadened apex are characteristic features in the male genitalia. The female genitalia are defined by the presence of two narrow folds on the subgenital plate in combination with a broad (ratio width/length = 1.8–2.0) segment VIII and broadly ovate (ratio length/width = 1.75–2.0) corpus bursae. The male genitalia are most similar to those of G. hoefneri (Rebel, 1909) but differ in the saccus being broader and the phallus with a longer distal portion. The gap between the sacculus and vincular process is broader and the sacculus is usually longer in G. rufomaculata . G. streliciella has a narrower vinculum and base of sacculus as well as a narrower saccus. G. cinctipunctella is similar to the new species in the shape of the sacculus, but the tegumen is narrower, the valva is longer, the gnathos is shorter and the hump of the posterior margin of the vinculum lies more laterally. The female genitalia most resemble those of G. hoefneri and G. cinctipunctella but are defined by very broad segment VIII and the presence of two distinct narrow folds on the subgenital plates.</p><p>Description. Adult (Figs 21, 22). Wingspan 13.0–16.2 mm. Head white, neck mixed with brown in some specimens, labial palpus upcurved, white, segment 2 brown at base, outer surface slightly mottled with light brown, segment 3 with narrow black subapical ring; scape brown, other antennal segments brown with white basal rings; thorax and tegulae light brown; forewing ochreous, costal margin black from base to 3/4 length, veins mottled with black in apical 1/3, black dot in the middle width on 1/3 and in the middle length near dorsum, diffuse black pattern on the base of forewing near dorsum and on 2/3, basal half mixed with white, diffuse narrow angulated white fascia on 3/4, apex mottled with black, cilia white black-tipped; hindwing light grey.</p><p>Variation. The ochreous pattern may be divided into three large spots in cell, the extent of the black pattern along costal margin varies considerably.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 46–48). Uncus broad, apex triangular, pointed; gnathos weakly curved, narrow; tegumen moderately broad, anteromedial emargination deep, triangular; valva broad at base, curved in middle, apex inflated; sacculus broad at base, distal portion long, narrow, strongly downcurved, gap to vincular process broad; vinculum broad, posterior margin with broad medial emargination and with short hump-like lateral process; saccus subrectangular, top abruptly truncated, not extended beyond top of pedunculus; phallus narrow, pointed, with small subapical arm, caecum inflated, about 1.5 times shorter than phallus.</p><p>Female genitalia (Figs 62, 63). Papillae anales elongate, subtriangular, densely covered with short setae; apophysis posteriores narrow, about twice length of segment VIII; segment VIII subrectangular, about 1.5 times broader than long, posterior margin with broad medial V-shaped emargination; subgenital plates connected medially and covered with microtrichia in medial portion; posteriolateral sclerites broad, triangular with rounded posterior corners, anterior corner strongly projected anteriorly, medial and lateral folds extended from medial and anterior corners of posteriolateral sclerites accordingly to anterior margin of segment VIII; anterior margin of sternite VIII strongly sclerotized, concave with paired medial projections; apophysis anteriores slightly shorter than segment VIII; colliculum as broader as long, ductus bursae narrow, inflated after colliculum; corpus bursae large, subovate, longer than ductus bursae, signum near entrance of corpus bursae, base subovate, distal portion broad, stout, weakly curved or as a long strongly curved in middle hook.</p><p>Variation. Signum hook varies from short, broad and weakly curved to moderately long, narrow and strongly curved in middle.</p><p>Biology. Host plant unknown. Adults were observed in steppe biotopes from June to August, up to 2330 m elevation.</p><p>Distribution. Russia: Zabaikalskiy krai; China: Ningxia and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions; South Korea.</p><p>Remarks. This species was recorded from South Korea as G. radkevichi (Park &amp; Ponomarenko 2006: 278, figs 12, 44; Park &amp; Ponomarenko 2007: 70, Pl. 3, fig. 73; Pl. 76, fig. 73).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin rufus – red, and macula – spot, and refers to the large reddish-brown spots on the forewing.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11634A75FFE33F6DFF41FF423765B158	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is defined externally by reddish-brown forewing with a well developed black pattern along the costal margin. G. rufomaculata is similar but the black pattern is poorly expressed. The female genitalia are recognizable by very long (subequal in length with the length of posterior margin of sternum VIII) and broad (ratio length/width = 3) posteriolateral sclerites. The posterolateral sclerites of of G. robustella (Staudinger, 1871) are also long, but are considerably narrower (ration length/width = 5). G. steueri has also broad and long postriolateral sclerites, but they are projected anterolaterally, whereas those of G. piskunovi are situated under the posterior margin of sternum VIII.</p><p>Description.
