Taxonomic notes on five species of the family Depressariidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea), described by Aristide Caradja from the Russian Far East
A.L. Lvovsky & M. Stanescu
Abstract. The type material of five species of the flat moths described by Aristide Caradja from the Russian Far East and originally placed within the genus Depressaria Haworth, 1811 were examined. Four of these species now belong to the genus Agonopterix Hübner, [1825] and one to Exaeretia Stainton, 1849. Three new synonyms are established: Agonopterix pallorella (Zeller, 1839) = Depressaria divergella Caradja, 1920, syn. nov.; Agonopterixmultiplicella (Erschoff, 1877) = Depressaria sutschanella Caradja, 1926, syn.nov.; and Exaeretia exquisitella (Caradja, 1920), comb. nov. = Exaeretia amurella Lvovsky, 1990, syn. nov. A new systematic status is proposed for Depressaria rimulella Caradja, 1920 as Agonopterix liturosa rimulella (Caradja, 1920), comb. nov., stat. demotus.
