Two new species of leaf-rollers (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from the East Caucasus

Abstract

Two new species of tortricid moths, Phtheochroa tabasarana sp. n. and Celypha laminaria sp. n., are described from Dagestan (Russia). Male genitalia of these species are illustrated. Population of the first species, Phtheochroa tabasarana sp. n., was found in the foothills on the south of Dagestan. This species is externally closest to Ph. cymatodana (Rebel, 1927) and by the male genitalia to the mentioned species, to Ph. gracillimana (Rebel, 1910) and Ph. amasiana (Ragonot, 1894). The second species, Celypha laminaria sp. n., was collected in two remote from each other localities in Inner Dagestan. The species is well distinguished from its congeners by external characters and male genitalia
