Pyraloidea

  Crambus heringiellus Herrich-Schäffer, [1848]
... the species identity of this specimen is not entirely clear, which I plan to find out soon by welding the genitals. My gut tells me that this will be the first type we'll check.

  Crambus heringiellus Herrich-Schäffer, [1848]
Omsk region, taiga, July 2010
This find is very interesting in zoogeographical terms. Firstly, this is the first discovery of the species in Western Siberia; secondly, the point of capture is located approximately in the middle of the previously known range boundaries of C. heringiellus (European species) and C. sachaensis (described from Yakutia)! Thus, the species identity of this specimen is still not entirely clear, which I plan to find out soon by welding the genitals. My gut tells me that this will be the first type we'll check.

The main thing is that the view is swampy, where should it be, if not in Western Siberia!

We will wait for the results. Good luck!

  Pempelia genistella ? Slovenia, July

I'll cook it, and then we'll see.. It would be a lot to see

  Phycita meliella Mann

It was me, but there's another very similar one, nephodeella Ragonot 1887, so you definitely need to cook it.

I will support the topic with some interesting and simply beautiful representatives of this group. All caught by me in the Omsk region.

Soon all this and much more will appear on my website.

The species named here as Hypochalcia decorella is actually Hypochalcia propinquella (Eversmann, 1842). decorella is a different species.

Can you tell me any articles on Hypochalcia? Otherwise, I already have propinquella from four districts of the Moscow Region, plus data from the 19th century - but is there a way to check the definition without going to ZIN?

Isn't Slumka a good fit? There are genitals of all these types (drawn really).

A new blue book? I don't have it yet
I just didn't think that it was radically different from the two previous ones in Central Europe. They don't have Hypochalcia at all...

Here's what I think applies to Hypochalcia propinquella. From the Moscow region:

I would also define them as Hypochalcia propinquella.

If you are interested , ZMMSU also has specimens labeled "Simbirsk" and defined as candelisequella (which, according to Sinev, is a junior synonym for propinquella).

Still, you should be very careful when defining this group of species without genitalia. It is possible to confuse this species with lignella, which also has a discal clarified spot with two indistinct black dots between the bandages on the forewings.

That's it! Cook and wanted! And this is dignella? or dark propinquella?

These are smaller, about 20 mm.

And here is the first copy of Cynaeda dentalis near Moscow. Sorry, mustache lost
