Abstract: Holcocera gozmanyi sp. n. is described herein and represents the only known species within the genus from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Illustrations of the head, wing venation, and male and female genitalia are included in addition to photographs of the holotype, the female wing coupling system, the abdomen, and a female paratype. Autapomorphies for H. gozmanyi, such as the absence of the aedeagal sclerite, the female retinaculum with a short row of long bristlelike setae on the cubitus, and the male and female with paired subtriangular patches of transverse, irregular rows of spinelike setae on the abdominal terga are not known to occur in other Blastobasinae. A key to the three species of Blastobasinae (Coleophoridae) known from the Galapagos Islands is provided, along with new host plant data for Blastobasis normalis (Meyrick, 1926) and Calosima darwini Adamski et Landry, 1997.

Title: Two new Phyllonorycter species
(Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) from West Africa

Authors' addresses: 1Royal Museum for Central Africa, Leuvensesteenweg 13, B-3080 Tervuren, Belgium, E-mail: jurate.de.prins@africamuseum.be Abstract: We present diagnoses and descriptions of two new species of Phyllonorycter discovered in the North Province of Cameroon: P. gozmanyi sp.
n. and P. farensis sp. n. These are the first records of Phyllonorycter

Title: A preliminary analyses of the phylogeny
of the Ethmiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) with special reference to the evolutionary patterns of host use
Authors: Wei, C.-H.1, Kun, A.2 and Yen, S.-H.1
Authors' addresses: 1Department of Biological Sciences, National Sun Yat-Sen University, 70, Lien-Hai Rd., 804 Kaohsiung, Taiwan, E-mail: shenhornyen@mail.nsysu.edu.tw Abstract: The subfamily Ethmiinae is a microlepidopteran group comprising more
than 350 species in seven genera worldwide. The core genus Ethmia
comprises 47 species-groups and many species unassigned to species
groups. Their hostplant associations involve at least seven angiosperm
families, of which Boraginaceae is utilized by the majority of the
species. We attempted to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Ethmiinae
to elucidate if the high diversity of Ethmia correlates with
colonization on Boraginaceae. We first selected 52 Ethmia species
having hostplant records to represent 21 of the 47 species-groups
and used Orophia, Depressaria, Agonopterix,
Chrysethmia and Agrioceros as the outgroups. Seventy
six adult morphological characters were identified and were partitioned
into two subsets, non-colour patterns versus colour pattern, to detect
the impact of colour pattern characters on the phylogenetic structure.
We employed maximum parsimony method to reconstruct the phylogenetic
relationships of the Ethmiinae and found that neither the genus Ethmia
nor most species-groups proposed by previous authors are monophyletic.
The characters relevant to colour patterns produced significant effects
on the tree topology, although the wing patterns may not be involved
in mimicry. Optimalization of host associations reveals that the clades
using Hydrophylaceae, Rosaceae, Phytolaccaceae, Scrophulariaceae,
Ranunculaceae, and Malvaceae have evolved independently from the clade
using Boraginaceae.

Title: Review of the subgenus Trifurcula (Levarchama), with two new species (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae)
Author: Nieukerken, E. J. van
Author's address: National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, PO Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; e-mail: nieukerken@naturalis.nl
Abstract: The subgenus Trifurcula (Levarchama) is reviewed. It comprises seven species, two of which are described as new: Trifurcula
(Levarchama) peloponnesica Van Nieukerken sp. n., found in Greece: Peloponnesus and feeding on Anthyllis
hermanniae, and Trifurcula (Levarchama) manygoza Van Nieukerken, A. Lastuvka et Z. Lastuvka
sp. n., from Croatia and northern Greece, feeding on Lotus corniculatus.
The subgenus occurs throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, and all
species make leafmines on Fabaceae: Loteae. All species are diagnosed
and biology and distribution are discussed, including new hostplant
and distributional records. The phylogeny is discussed on the basis
of morphological characters and hostplant relationships are discussed.
The Macaronesian T. ridiculosa Walsingham is sister to a clade comprising the remaining species. Lotus is most likely the plesiomorphic hostplant choice, with two host shifts to
respectively Anthyllis and Coronilla.

Authors' addresses: 1Department of Evolutionary Zoology, University of Debrecen, H-4010 Debrecen, Egyetem-tér 1. E-mail: zvarga@tigris.unideb.hu Abstract: The phylogenetic position of the genus Diarsia and the taxonomic and phylogenetic significance of male and female genital structures
of Diarsia species are discussed; certain lock-and-key characters are described. Based on the genital structures, monophyletic species groups and some major biogeographical trends within the genus are outlined. Six new species (D. gozmanyi, D. scotodichroa, D. metadichroa, D. taidactyla, D. metatorva, D. protodahlii spp. n.) are described. With 161 figures.

Authors' addresses: 1Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13, Hungary; E-mail: balint@zoo.zoo.nhmus.hu Abstract: A key for separating sister genera Arcas Swainson, 1832 and Theritas Hübner, 1818, plus eight nominal species placed in Theritas is given. Three species groups within the latter genus are distinguished. A new species, Theritas gozmanyi Bálint et Wojtusiak, sp. n. is described form Ecuador. The presence of a discal scent pad on the fore wing dorsal surface and spectral characteristics of the light reflected from the central part of the discal cell were used as characters for discrimination of the new species.

Author: Sziráki, Gy.
Author's address: Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary, e-mail: sziraki@zoo.zoo.nhmus.hu
Abstract: The new long winged Brucheiserinae genus Flintoconis, with two species (F. gozmanyi sp. n. and F. petorcana sp. n.) is described, and additional descriptions of Brucheiser penai Riek, 1975, as well as adult characteristics of the subfamily Brucheiserinae are given. Homologization of different parts of male of the terminalia and evaluation the similarity between the subfamilies Brucheiserinae (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) and Corydalinae (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) confirm the hypothesis that the family Coniopterygidae is one of the earliest taxonomic groups to diverge within the insect order Neuroptera.
