Abstract: Records of Depressariidae species collected in the Altai Republic (Russia) in
2014–2019 are presented. Agonopterix kyzyltashensis sp. nov., A. ustjuzhanini
sp. nov., and Depressaria paraleucocephala sp. nov. are described as new for
science. Depressaria leucocephala Snellen, 1884 is deleted from the list of
Altaic Depressariidae due its previous confusion with D. paraleucocephala sp.
nov. Agonopterix rimulella (Caradja, 1920) sp. restit. is removed from synonymy
with Agonopterix liturosa (Haworth, 1811). Exaeretia fuscogriseella Hannemann,
1990 syn. nov. is synonymised with E. indubitatella (Hannemann, 1971).
Agonopterix feruliphila Millière, 1866 syn. nov. is transferred from synonymy
with Agonopterix thapsiella (Zeller, 1847) to synonymy with Agonopterix
adspersella (Kollar, 1832). Provisional list of related taxa of the Agonopterix
adspersella group is given. Within Russian fauna, Depressaria altaica Zeller,
1854 was presented only from the Altai Republic, namely because the type
specimens were recorded in the Altai. However, type locality is the Kazakh
Altai, and D. altaica should be removed from checklist of the Altai Republic. At
the same time, we present the first reliable records of D. altaica from southern
Ural as a new species for Russia. The first reliable record of Agonopterix
putridella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) for Russia is presented.
Exaeretia allisella Stainton, 1849, Agonopterix anticella (Erschoff, 1877),
Agonopterix bipunctosa (Curtis, 1850), Agonopterix rimulella, Depressaria
sibirella Lvovsky, 1981, D. falkovitshi Lvovsky, 1990, D. libanotidella
Schläger, 1848, and D. fuscovirgatella Hannemann, 1967 are new for the Altai
Republic. In addition, Exaeretia mongolicella (Christoph, 1882) was found as new
for the Tuva Republic. In total, 36 species of the studied family are known
from the Altai Republic to date. Figures of all species new for the Altai
Republic and the Tuva Republic are presented. Newly described species are
figured in detail including their genitalia.
