B1522A37937F54448873DCB31DB1782E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Tegostoma burtoni sp. nov. is similar to some other Tegostoma species, mainly T. lepidalis (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1851), and to Pyrausta gulpembe Kemal & Kocak, 2018 in external appereance, but it differs by its smaller wingspan. It differs from all Tegostoma species of comparable size by the distinctive purple colour of the forewings.	en	Sumpich, Jan, Karsholt, Ole, Savenkov, Nikolay, Roweck, Hartmut (2022): The genus Tegostoma in Armenia, with description of a new species (Crambidae, Odontiinae).

B1522A37937F54448873DCB31DB1782E.taxon	description	Description. External appearance (Figs 1 - 6, 12). Forewing length ♂: 13.4 - 15.0 mm (mean 14.8), ♀: 14 mm. Vertex covered by ochreous scales, maxillary palpus short, brown with yellowish scales, collar of yellow scales around the eyes and the caudal border of the head. Antennae filiform ciliate, cilia whitish, flagellomeres black dorsally but distinctly white ventrally, scape brown, yellowish ventrally. Patagia, tegulae and thorax usually pinkish to purplish, with admixtures of brownish scales. Forewings pinkish to purplish with discontinuous pale postmedial fascia and a very narrow pale subterminal fascia, often not present; postmedial fascia pale buffish almost parallel to termen and of irregular width, subterminal fascia pale buffish almost parallel with termen. Fringes brown, proximal third paler. Hindwings brown, distinctly darker near margin, distinctly paler basally. Fringes ochreous, brown in the basal third. Variation. Sexual dimorphism not observed, it seems females differ in smaller size and less pronounced light fascia. The ground colour of most specimens is pinkish to purple, however, this is less pronounced in some specimens. Both fasciae are always paler compared with the ground colour but in some specimens they can be yellowish-buff, not pinkish. Specimens with a pinkish streak usually do not have a pale marginal line. Male genitalia. (Figs 7 - 9). Valva 1.6 times as long as wide, ovoid, dorsal margin slightly convex, sacculus slightly rounded caudally, rounded apex with a setose tuft. Saccus nearly rectangular with a slightly concave depression. Tegumen triangular, distinctly protuberant posteriorly, uncus bilobed, lobes rounded distally, gnathos strongly sclerotised, narrow, with two points on the distal margin, not reaching the distal margin of the uncus. Vinculum elongate, slightly more than twice as broad as long. Aedeagus narrow, slightly curved, bluntly pointed; vesica stoutly compressed in distal third resembling a broad, oblong cornutus [" denticulate plate " sensu Slamka (2013)], bulbus ejaculatorius membranous, as wide as aedeagus, without lamina. Female genitalia (Figs 10 - 11). Papillae anales rectangular, slightly elongate laterally, apophyses posteriores short, 2 / 3 the length of the apophyses anteriores. Ostium bursae broad, membranous. Antrum narrow, sclerotised, in the shape of a coiled leaf. Ductus bursae comparatively narrow, membranous, continuously gradually expanding anteriorly, and eventually becoming the bursa copulatrix, which is an elongate ovoid, membranous, without signa.	en	Sumpich, Jan, Karsholt, Ole, Savenkov, Nikolay, Roweck, Hartmut (2022): The genus Tegostoma in Armenia, with description of a new species (Crambidae, Odontiinae).

B1522A37937F54448873DCB31DB1782E.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. The new species was collected in sandy habitats with sparse vegetation at an altitude of about 1000 m (Fig. 16). The type locality, Gorovan Sands is one of the steppe habitats in Armenia, areas which have not been intensively cultivated until recently.

B1522A37937F54448873DCB31DB1782E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is derived from the name of John Andrew Burton, a worldwide active conservationist, in honour of his strong support of establishing nature reserves in Armenia. It is to his merit to have established the Artsakh Nature fund and that more than 30,000 hectares of unique habitats are now protected within the borders of the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge.	en	Sumpich, Jan, Karsholt, Ole, Savenkov, Nikolay, Roweck, Hartmut (2022): The genus Tegostoma in Armenia, with description of a new species (Crambidae, Odontiinae).
