Two new species of the subfamily Phycitinae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from West Kazakhstan

Abstract

Asalebria (Exophora) vernalis sp. n. and Gymnancyla subgilvella sp. n. are described from Atyrau and Mangistau Regions of Kazakhstan. Male and female genitalia of these species are illustrated. Asalebria (Exophora) vernalis sp. n. differs by wing colouration and by genitalia structure from all known Asalebria species. Gymnancyla subgilvella sp. n. can be mixed with two Gymnancyla species, G. gilvella (Ragonot, 1887) and G. nomiella (Ragonot, 1887). The differences from two mentioned species are found in both male and female genitalia and also in venation
