New species and new records of the genus Filatima Busck, 1939 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) from Central Asia.

ABSTRACT

Four new species of Filatima Busck, 1939 are described from Central Asia Filatimaarmata sp. nov. (Iran), F.subarmata sp. nov. (Pakistan, Iran), F.afghana sp. nov. (Afghanistan), and F.karii sp. nov. (Tajikistan). The hitherto unknown female of Filatimamulticornuta Bidzilya & Nupponen, 2018 is described. Recorded to occur for the first time are Filatimatextorella (Chrétien, 1908) from North Macedonia and Turkey, F.pallipalpella (Snellen, 1884) from Kyrgyzstan, and Filatimazagulajevi Anikin & Piskunov, 1996 from Kazakhstan. Filatimafontisella Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 is removed from the list of Russian Gelechiidae due to re-identification of the only record as F.multicornuta. An annotated checklist of Palaearctic Filatima species is provided.
