Abstract: Chrysoclista germanica sp. nov. is described from Germany (Thuringia, Bad

described as subspecies of C. abchasica Sinev, 1986, is elevated to species
level. Both taxonomic acts are based on the study of morphological characters of
the adults (males). Photographs of voucher specimens including genitalia
structures are given.
