03C8D14B8C30750EFF1B1CDBFAE44A86.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Based on similarities in male genitalia C. mirleftensis sp. nov. is close to C. trichopterella Baldizzone, 1985 and C. charynensis Tabell, sp. nov. Diagnostic features are the apex of sacculus with only one protuberance in C. mirleftensis (two protuberances in C. trichopterella and C. charynensis), the outer margin of valvula (rounded in C. mirleftensis, triangular in C. trichopterella, largely folded in C. charynensis) and the length of cornuti (shortest in C. mirleftensis, longest in C. trichopterella). In the female genitalia of C. mirleftensis, the long median lamina in the ductus bursae is characteristic. Molecular diagnosis. Three specimens of C. mirleftensis were sequenced, resulting in 657 bp, 608 bp, and 604 bp DNA barcode fragments. The barcodes were compared to those of C. charynensis (n = 2) and C. trichopterella (n = 1), as well as to those of 16 additional taxa of the C. poecilella species group. The resultant sequences revealed 7.05 – 11.91 % divergences among barcoded species (Table 1). The divergence between C. mirleftensis and C. charynensis (n = 2) and C. trichopterella (n = 1) was 7.05 % and 8.26 %, respectively (Table 1). The barcodes of C. mirleftensis display no intraspecific variation, the seeming variation in the neighbor-joining tree (Fig. 9) resulting from the different lengths of the sequences alone.	en	Tabell, Jukka, Mutanen, Marko, Sihvonen, Pasi (2018): Descriptions of five morphologically and genetically confirmed new species of the Coleophora poecilella Walsingham, 1907 species group (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) from the Palearctic Region.

03C8D14B8C327505FF1B1B37FC5F4A37.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In external appearance C. nupponeni sp. nov. resembles C. algeriensis Toll, 1952, C. schmidti Toll, 1960, C. eurasiatica Baldizzone, 1989 and C. lonchodes (Falkovitsh, 1994), which all share the yellowish or reddish brown forewing with a white costal stripe. Conspicuously longer labial palpi distinguish C. nupponeni from the aforesaid species. In the male genitalia of C. nupponeni the stout seta at costa is characteristic and separates the species from all close relatives. In the female genitalia the dense bristles at the distal margin of the sterigma and stud-shaped spinules in the ductus bursae distinguish C. nupponeni from related taxa. Molecular diagnosis.

03C8D14B8C3D7501FF1B1F9FFE1A4FB4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Coleophora. tugaicola sp. nov. is characterized by four white stripes on the costal half of the pale brown forewings. In male genitalia C. tugaicola is closer to C. algeriensis Toll, 1952, C. dissecta (Falkovitsh, 1989), C. physophorae (Falkovitsh, 1994), C. lonchodes (Falkovitsh, 1994) and C. hypoxantha (Falkovitsh, 1982). A combination of the shape of the valvula, cornuti, and apical half of the sacculus distinguishes C. tugaicola from the aforementioned species. In female genitalia the short feather-shaped formation in the ductus bursae is characteristic. Molecular diagnosis. Two type specimens (1 ♂ and 1 ♀) were sequenced, resulting in 658 bp and 483 bp DNA barcode fragments. The sequences showed 7.06 – 11.22 % divergences between C. tugaicola and the other barcoded taxa (Table 1).	en	Tabell, Jukka, Mutanen, Marko, Sihvonen, Pasi (2018): Descriptions of five morphologically and genetically confirmed new species of the Coleophora poecilella Walsingham, 1907 species group (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) from the Palearctic Region.
