A study of 216 specimens of Tineidae, Acrolepiidae, Douglasiidae, and Epermeniidae establishes
73 fi rst country records, three fi rst records apart from the type series, one fi rst record for Europe, and one
fi rst record for the Nearctic region. Infurcitinea iberica sp. n., Infurcitinea corsica sp. n., and Tinagma
asymmetricum sp. n. are described as new species. A lectotype is designated for Tineola macropodella
Erschoff, 1874, which is a new synonym of Pararhodobates syriacus (Lederer, 1857). Infurcitinea romanica
CapuÕe, 1966, hitherto a synonym of Infurcitinea olympica Petersen, 1958, is reinstated as a valid species.
The taxon kirghiztana Zagulajev, 2002, described in Fermocelina, is transferred to Reisserita. The author
of Reisserita zelleri is Zagulajev, 1992, not Caradja, 1920.
