03A15E179447E964FF18FAD5B0340AB2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The world fauna of the genus includes 32 species, half of which are distributed in the Old World with the greatest species diversity in Europe (nine species), and the other half are found in the New World, where the Cauchas spp. inhabit the North America. The fauna of Russia includes seven species, three species of which known from European part only (Cauchas florella (Staudinger), C. leucocerella (Scopoli), C. rufifrontella (Treitschke )), two species reach the south of West Siberia (C. fibulella ([Denis & Schiffermüller]), C. rufimitrella (Scopoli )), one species was described from Altai Republic and so far known only from this locality (C. mikkolai Kozlov) and one species (C. breviantennella Nielsen & Johansson) has been reported from arctic (Murmanskaya oblast’ and Yamalo- Nenetskii Avtomnyi Okrug) and subarctic (Magadanskaya oblast’) geographic zones. The species of the genus Cauchas so far remain unknown from East Asia and south of the Russian Far East, thus the new species is the first one described from this territory.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

This species is similar to K. saxifragae (Stainton) by pattern of forewing and female genitalia with transverse sclerotisation in sternal area of 8 th segment formed by extended ventral arms of apophyses anteriores, antrum with sclerotised ring and corpus bursae without signum. It differs by narrower transverse sclerotisation in sternal part of 8 th segment, a ratio of sclerotisation length to its width is 0.2, by smaller and flattened setaceous lobes of postvaginal plate and shorter granular part of ductus bursae, which does not exceed 1 / 5 of total ductus length in the female genitalia (Figs 28, 29). The related species possesses wider transverse sclerotisation in sternal part of 8 th segment, a ratio of length of this sclerotisation to its width is 0.6, larger and rounded setaceous lobes of postvaginal plate and ductus bursae with continuous granular sculpture in the female genitalia.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179445E966FF18FD3CB69C0BFA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens collected in the south of the Russian Far East differ from European specimens by relatively smaller size (wingspan 12.7 mm), groundcolour of forewing beige, wing pattern without a distinct dark brown oblique stripe extending, which in European moths extends from about 1 / 4 of the dorsal margin to about 2 / 5 of the costal margin, and without stripe from 1 / 3 wing length to apex. Instead of these stripes there are scattered dark brown scales located exactly in the same place; forewing with four rows of black dots running from near base: five dots in subcostal row to 1 / 3 of wing length, nine ones in radial row to 2 / 3 wing length, six-seven ones in submedian row and ten ones in subdorsal row both to a little beyond middle of wing (Fig. 2). In the female genitalia, Far Eastern specimens differ by a relatively longer unbranched part of apophyses anteriores, which is 1.2 times longer than the posterior branch (Fig. 28). According to the photographs, the European specimens of K. fasciapennella have distinct oblique stripe on the forewings and shorter unbranched part of apophyses anteriores, which is only 0.7 of posterior branch length (Huemer & Tarmann 1991: figs 52, 53, 237). The exception is the specimen from Komi Republic (Huemer & Tarmann 1991: fig. 54), which also lacks an oblique stripe on the forewing, and its wing pattern is similar to that of specimens from the south of the Far East.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179445E960FF18F8C4B1C60A56.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Genus Metanomeuta was described for two species, M. fulvicrinis and M. zonoceros Meyrick, 1935 based on a series of specimens from H. Höne collection. The M. fulvicrinis was collected in two localities of Central and East China: Tienmushan (Zhejiang Province) and Hoengshan (Hunan Province), and M. zonoceros was collected in Hoengshan only (Meyrick 1935). Meyrick in the preface for his paper indicated that he “ indebted to the great generosity of Prince Aristide Caradja and H. Höne for permission to retain 58 type-specimens ” in his collection in British Museum, and only “ the co-types and para-types of those when such exist, are deposited in their collections. 29 type-specimens remained in the coll. Caradja, which I especially indicate ” (Meyrick 1935: 45). Meyrick, describing new taxa, indicated that the type series of M. fulvicrinis includes five specimens and the type series of M. zonoceros includes three specimens. Friese (1962), examining the specimens from the Caradja’s collection (National Museum of Natural History “ Grigore Antipa ”, Bucharest, Romania), indicated totally 15 specimens belonging to both species, synonymising them, and 11 specimens of them associated with M. fulvicrinis. He did not indicate whether he had the specimens studied by Meyrick and mentioned in his descriptions of each species. It is not clear from work by Friese whether the specimen he designated as the lectotype was originally one of the few syntypes with which Meyrick worked. The number of specimens listed by Friese (1962) is twice the number of the type series. According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature if specimens were not mentioned in the description, they are not syntypes and specimen which was not originally among syntypes and later designed as lectotype lost its status (ICZN 1999: Arts 74.2, 72.4.1). Moreover, if the specimens from the National Museum of Natural History “ Grigore Antipa ” were not originally part of the syntype series, they are not also paralectotypes, as erroneously claimed by Friese (1962) and Moriuti (1977). Lewis & Sohn (2015) statement that “ prior to Clarke (1965), Friese (1962) had designated a lectotype of fulvicrinis, as reported by Popescu-Gorj (1992), invalidating Clarke’s designation ” is erroneous, since all the discussed specimens in the Caradja’s collection, examined by Friese, in number much more than it was included in the type series, and cannot be syntypes (at least, that part which exceeds the number of probable syntypes). Furthermore, Popescu-Gorj could not validate designation of the lectotype for fulvicrinis by Friese, because he indicated different locality for the Friese’s lectotype of M. fulvicrinis: “ West Tien-Mu-shan (1600 m) ” (Popescu-Gorj 1992: 152), whereas “ China, Prov. Hunan, Hoeng-Shan (900 m) ” in Friese (1962: 323). Based on the above, the type locality of the species is also undefined, since it is determined by the place of lectotype origin (ICZN 1999: Art. 76.2). Clarke designated lectotypes for M. fulvicrinis and M. zonoceros later (Clarke 1965), without mention of the Friese’s designation. However, just this designation may be valid, as it fully complies with the requirements of ICZN (1999), since at least part of true syntypes of M. fulvicrinis and M. zonoceros undoubtedly are stored in the NHM, and since Meyrick did not indicate that he passed the type (s) of these species to the Caradja’s collection. Thus, the questions about priority of lectotype designation for M. fulvicrinis and M. zonoceros, and about the type locality for the first of them are open until the location of the true syntypes of M. fulvicrinis and M. zonoceros is established and whether the true syntypes are designated as lectotypes of these species by Friese (1962).	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179445E960FF18F8C4B1C60A56.taxon	description	Jin and Wang (2008), studying numerous specimens collected in China and associated with M. fulvicrinis, showed the variation in shape and pattern of forewing (in the original description forewing without pattern), variation in shape of gnathos and valva, in width of sacculus in the male genitalia and variation in shape of antevaginal and postvaginal plates in the female genitalia. The genus was monotypic until Jin and Wang described two more species: M. spinisparsula Jin & Wang, 2008 and M. yuexiensis Jin & Wang, 2008. Thus, currently the genus includes three species. The generic composition and status of described taxa within this genus need to be revised not only by morphological comparison but also molecular study. Considering the great morphological diversity in the current interpretation of M. fulvicrinis, which may be a complex of related species, the specimen from the southern Russian Far East is tentatively identified as M. fulvicrinis, which is first recorded in Russia as well as the genus Metanomeuta Meyrick.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179440E963FF18FF78B71F0EEE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. M. fulvicrinis is similar to M. yuexiensis and M. spinisparsula in the male genitalia by relatively wide socius tapering towards pointed apex, which is curved ventrally and bearing small thorn, valva wide in basal part, sacculus as sclerotised thorned plate and aedeagus with cornuti as spines packed in bunches. M. fulvicrinis differs from related species by male genitalia with socius wider in basal part and smoothly tapering towards the pointed apex, valva with large ventro-basal lobe rounded at apex and with sacculus bearing strong thorns on the relatively wide band-like sclerotisation, and aedeagus sinuous in basal 2 / 3 and curved at distal 1 / 3, with spiny cornuti packed into two bunches, about 1 / 5 of aedeagus length (Figs 22 – 25). Comparative morphological notes. Generally, specimen collected in the Russian Far East and identified as M. fulvicrinis Meyrick, is similar to related species by characters of external morphology. However, its wingspan 12.5 mm, which is corresponding to smaller parameters of wingspan indicated for M. fulvicrinis from China and similar to that in M. yuexiensis. Labial palpus lighter, first segment light brown, second and third segments greyish brown on outer side and lighter on inner side (Fig. 15). Tegulae and thorax brown, that lighter than in related species. Forewing greyish brown, with indistinct lightened spots: large one beyond basal 1 / 3 on dorsal half and smaller ones at 4 / 5 of costal margin and at apex (Fig. 3), that is similar to forewing illustrated for lectotype of M. zonoceros in Clarke (1965: plate 173, fig. 2) and for some specimens collected in China and identified as M. fulvicrinis.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179440E962FF18F9FCB0A30CAE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. World fauna of the genus Micropterix Hübner includes 80 extant and 2 extinct species, and the greatest biodiversity the genus reaches in South Europe (Staudinger 1879 – 1880; Kuznetsov 1960; Zaguljaev 1983, 1987, 1993; Heath 1986; Kurz et al. 1997; Ponomarenko & Beljaev 2000; Hashimoto 2006; Corley 2007; Zeller-Lukashort et al. 2007; Zeller-Lukashort et al. 2009; Kurz & Kurz 2010; Lees et al. 2010; Zeller & Huemer 2015; Zeller et al. 2016; Das & Singh 2022; Sinev & Kozlov 2024). To date 11 species of the genus are known in the fauna of Russia, the European part and North Caucasus. Of these, only M. aureatella (Scopoli) has a large range, extending from Europe through Western and Eastern Siberia with disjunctions to East Asia, including the south of the Russian Far East. The second species, M. sikhotealinensis Ponomarenko & Beljaev, is known so far only from the south of the Far East. It was described on the base of three specimens, all males, collected in mountain coniferous forest in the southern part of the Sikhote-Alin Range (Primorskii Krai). Until now, the morphology of female was unknown. Processing of dry specimens in the collection of FSCB allowed to find female of this species, the morphology of which is described below.	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.

03A15E179441E96CFF18FE34B163082A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. M. sikhotealinensis is similar to M. aureatella (Scopoli, 1763) by cucullus curved dorsally almost at a right angle and significantly expanded in the distal part, by dorsal and lateral processes having similar shape and position on annulus in the male genitalia. It differs by a forewing with an inverted groundcolour and pattern of forewing (Figs 5, 6, 9, 10). It can be also distinguished by dorsal process of annulus, which wider basally, proximal part of valva with longer inflated part, which about 3 / 5 of total valval length in the male genitalia (Fig. 26). M. aureatella has dorsal process of annulus narrower basally and proximal part of valva with shorter inflated part, about half of total valval length in the male genitalia. In the female genitalia, M. sikhotealinensis differs from the related species by narrower sternal sclerotisation of 9 th segment, split in two more or less equal lobes, with smoothly sloped lateral edge in the female genitalia (Figs 30, 33, 34). Adult. Wingspan 9.1 – 9.5 (♂) and 8.9 mm (♀); length of forewing 4.2 – 4.5 (♂) and 4.1 mm (♀) (Figs 5, 6). Head with raised brown hair-like scales (Fig. 17). Antenna brown and monochromatic. Thorax and tegula dark brown, covered by iridescent violet and bronze scales. Forewing golden-yellow with violet two transverse fasciae at 1 / 8 and 1 / 3 of wing length, and one costal spot at half of wing length, two indistinct spots formed by accumulated iridescent violet scales before tornus and at the end of cell; fringe brown. Hindwing brown, slightly darker distally, with iridescent violet and bronze shine; fringe brown (Figs 5, 6). Comparative morphological notes. The forewing of M. sikhotealinensis has golden groundcolour and pattern formed by violet two transverse fasciae at 1 / 8 and 1 / 3 and one small costal spot at half of wing length (Figs 5, 6, 9, 10). M. aureatella has violet groundcolour and two golden fasciae at 1 / 3 and about half of wing length and more or less costal spot sometimes almost reaches dorsal edge of wing (Figs 7, 8). In the male genitalia both species differ by width of basal part of dorsal process of annulus: M. sikhotealinensis has wider dorsal process compared to that in M. aureatella. The subspecies M. aureatella shikotanica Kozlov described from the Far East of Russia has not only narrower dorsal process of annulus but smaller and shorter one than that in the nominotypical subspecies. The inflated proximal part of valva in this subspecies about half of total valval length (after Kozlov 1988: fig. 2), which corresponds to that in European M. aureatella illustrated by Zeller-Lukashort et al. (2007), but longer than in M. aureatella from Japan (Hashimoto 2006). M. sikhotealinensis has longest inflated proximal part of valva, exceeding half of total valval length (Fig. 26). Females of M. aureatella from Europe and Japan, and M. sikhotealinensis from the Russian Far East have different shape of sternal sclerotisation of 9 th segment. M. sikhotealinensis has shorter (along to longitudinal body axis) sclerotisation split in two more or less equal lobes (Figs 33, 34), European M. aureatella with longer sclerotisation split in two lobes different in size (Figs 35, 36), Japanese specimen of the same species with slightly longer sclerotisation than in European one and without distinct split (Figs 37, 38).	en	Tarasova, Anastasiia A., Ponomarenko, Margarita G.
