03F2FE1BFFD5FFF6FF3CB57336462983.taxon	description	Description. Female (Figs. 1, 5). FWL 5.4 ‒ 7.0 mm, WLR 0.32. Vertex and frons densely covered with long raised white scales. PLB 2 × vertical eye diameter, white, ventrally with dense cover of raised piliform scales, vast majority of which are white and a few are brown. Proboscis light brown, base laterally with white scales. Antenna 0.9 × FWL. Basal 0.7 of flagellum densely covered by elongated semi-erect scales arising from the entire surface of each flagellomere and forming characteristic brush. Scape and proximal half of brush white, then colour of scales gradually changes and distal quarter of brush is almost entirely black. Distal part of flagellum brown. Tegula and thorax white. Forewing white; the pattern consists of three light cream fasciae in the basal 2 / 3 of the wing and of dark brown spots in the apical 1 / 3 of the wing. The first (proximal) cream fascia is almost indistinct; it has sinuous margins and reaches costa at 0.20 to 0.30 × FWL. The second fascia reaches costa at 0.37 to 0.47 × FWL; its oblique internal margin approaches dorsum very close to the external margin of the first fascia; external margin of the second fascia is W-shaped. The third fascia reaches costa at 0.57 to 0.70 × FWL, and is separated from the apical part of the forewing by very narrow white stripe. Costa at 0.15 × FWL with dark brown spot (0.25 × width of forewing) perpendicular to the wing margin; the margins of the first and the second creamy fasciae near costa are bordered by short (0.1 ‒ 0.2 × forewing width) dark brown lines. The third creamy fascia is bordered by sparse dark brown scales; within this fascia, dark brown scales form three or four compact spots. Apical part of forewing is densely scattered with dark brown and ochreous scales forming several diffuse spots along wing margin; small ochreous spots are located in gaps between large dark brown spots. Fringe bronze. Hindwing white, almost translucent, except for light bronze apical quarter; fringe brown apically and white along dorsum. Legs white; hind tibia with dense tuft of white piliform scales; apical parts of all tibiae and all tarsomeres brown. Epiphysis at 0.6, reaching tip of tibia. Abdomen white. Male unknown.	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V. (2020): Three new species of the genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg (Lepidoptera, Adelidae) from Southeast Asia.

03F2FE1BFFD5FFF6FF3CB57336462983.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Myanmar. Taxonomic affinities. Nemophora alba does not resemble any congeneric species in the details of forewing pattern. Nevertheless, light forewing colour and characteristic antennal brush suggest that this species might be related to the askoldella species-group, as defined by Kozlov (1995).	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V.

03F2FE1BFFD6FFF2FF3CB78D34962FA1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. N. decoratella differs from all known Nemophora species, excluding N. bruneiella, by the presence of four to five compact small dark brown spots along the dorsal margin of forewing. From N. bruneiella it differs by glossy silver frons, absence of two dark spots in medial part of forewing, fused valvae and hook-shaped apex of phallus.	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V.

03F2FE1BFFD6FFF2FF3CB78D34962FA1.taxon	description	Description. Male (Figs. 2, 6). FWL 4.9 mm, WLR 0.45. Vertex brownish yellow; frons glossy silver. PLB 0.06 × vertical eye diameter and 1.7 × scapus, light brown, with brown and pale yellow raised piliform scales. Proboscis light brown, base densely covered with dark brown semi-erect elongated scales. Eyes enlarged, occipitally closely approximated, with straight dorsal margins; interocular index 1.55. Antenna longer than 2.6 × FWL (apical parts of both antennae are broken). Scape pale yellow; flagellum white to light grey; basal 50 ‒ 60 segments with dark rings, which gradually become indistinct towards the apex of antenna. Tegula and thorax bronze. Forewing pattern well elaborated; it includes a number of details, among which five minor dark brown spots along dorsum are most distinctive. Forewing base at costa dark brown to 0.3 × FWL, at dorsum bronze to 0.1 × FWL. The silver-white trian- gular spot separates forewing base from light coppery brown fascia, bordered on both sides by narrow lines of dark brown scales. The external margin of this fascia near costa is Z-shaped, and light brown coloration expands along the costa up to 0.6 × FWL, reaching internal margin of proximal pale yellow spot. Distal yellow spot narrow (half of the width of the proximal spot), approaching costa at 0.85 × FWL. Intensity of yellow colour in both these spots is highest near costa and gradually declines towards dorsum; dorsal parts of both these spots are almost indistinguishable, although they are not suffused by mixture of pale yellow, white, bronze and brown scales forming irregular pattern in distal half of forewing. Fringe brown to silver grey, with spots of light scales adjacent to light elements of forewing pattern. Hindwing light brown, with slight bronze iridescence; anal field almost translucent; costal area grey; fringe grey to white. Legs (femurae and tibiae) bronze to light brown; tarsomeres pale yellow; apices of all tarsomeres brown. Epiphysis at 0.6, reaching tip of tibia. Base of abdomen yellowish brown, tip greyish brown. Female unknown. Male genitalia (Figs. 8 ‒ 12, 18, 19). Tegumen nearly triangular, with prominent medial ridge. Socii oval, 1.5 × diameter of phallus. Vinculum 2.0 × length of valva, with straight lateral margins and straight dorsal margin; valvae fused to tegumen (suture in medial part indistinct). Apices of valva and of tegumen are at about the same level. Ventral margin of valva medially with slight expansion; dorsal margin semi-round proximally and straight distally; apex narrowly rounded. Valvae fused basally up to 0.4 × total length; internal margins of valvae in this region indistinct. Anellus 0.4 × length of valva. Transtilla with narrow pointed medial process. Juxta 0.55 × length of phallus; arrow head moderately wide (WLR 0.70), with pointed tip and short pointed lateral arms. Phallus of about the same length as vinculum; apical part tip hook-shaped; base of phallus narrowly funnel-shaped.	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V.

03F2FE1BFFD6FFF2FF3CB78D34962FA1.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Indonesia (Sulawesi). Taxonomic affinities. Nemophora decoratella shares two possible synapomorphies with N. bruneiella: (1) forewing with four to five compact small dark brown spots along dorsum, and (2) basal field of forewing with silverwhite triangular spot adjacent to internal border of fascia. At the same time, an oblique light stripe directed from the costal margin of forewing to the middle of the external wing margin, which is present in N. decoratella, indicates its possible relatedness to the kalshoveni species-group, as defined by Kozlov (2016).	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V.

The greyish bronze fascia is bordered on both sides by narrow lines of brown scales; the internal margin of this fascia reaches costa at 0.37 × FWL and dorsum at 0.20 × FWL. Beyond the fascia, forewing is irregularly scattered with a mixture of white, pink and dark brown scales.

03F2FE1BFFD1FFF1FF3CB531360429C0.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brunei. Taxonomic affinities. Although N. bruneiella shares two possible synapomorphies with N. decoratella (see above), the external similarity between these two species may be convergent due to differences in the details of yellow pattern in the apical part of forewing. Whereas N. decoratella has an oblique stripe, N. bruneiella has U-shaped spot at the costal wing margin. A similar spot occurs in N. sinicella (Walker) and N. aglaospila (Meyrick), but both these species differ greatly from N. bruneiella in many characters.	en	Kozlov, Mikhail V.
