Abstract: The paper summarizes the results of our study of selected Microlepidoptera
families (Meessiidae, Tineidae, Douglasiidae, Epermeniidae, Glyphipterigidae:
Acrolepiinae) collected in the Russian Altai. Tinea altaica sp. nov. is
described from the vicinity of Tashanta on the Russian-Mongolian border and from
Mongolia. The new species distantly resembles Tinea semifulvella Haworth,
1828 and T. semifulvelloides Petersen, 1973. The up to now unknown females of
Klimeschia biarmatella Budashkin, 2003 and Monopis luteocostalis Gaedike,
2006 are described. Scardia boletella (Fabricius, 1794), Crassicornella
crassicornella (Zeller, 1847), Trichophaga ziniella Zagulajev, 1960, Tineola
bisselliella (Hummel, 1823), Monopis laevigella (Denis & Schiffermüller,
1775), M. pallidella Zagulajev, 1955, Epermenia ochreomaculella asiatica
Gaedike, 1979, and Acrolepiopsis sapporensis (Matsumura, 1931) are recorded from
the Altai Republic for the first time. Tinea hongorella Zagulajev, 1975 and
Klimeschia biarmatella Budashkin, 2003, so far known only from the holotypes,
are new species for Russia. Tinea hongorella is also a new species for Europe.
