Remarks. In the first report of Epischnia prodromella from Odesa region, in Yepishin et al. (2024: 122), an error was made in the layout of the manuscript. The name of this species has disappeared, instead, only the examined material that follows the species Dioryctria simplicella Heinemann, 1865 remained. Therefore, we are additionally publishing this material here, in addition to the new one.
