03808790CE364935A7E2FF05FD00FF67.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Externally a rather characterless species with a uniformly blackish grey forewing and indistinct light brown irroration in fold and along the subcostal vein. Scrobipalpa chrysanthemella (Hoffmann, 1867) looks somewhat similar, but differs in the presence of black spots in fold and middle of cell. The male genitalia can be recognised by the broad sacculus, very short and narrow vincular process and very broad posteromedial emargination of the vinculum. Such combination of the male genitalia characters are characteristic of S. acuminatella, S. hungariae (Staudinger, 1871), S. skulei Huemer & Karsholt, 2010 and S. notata. Among these species, S. rutjani sp. nov. is most similar to S. skulei. However, the uncus is not constricted before the apex, the cucullus is longer (extending to the top of uncus), the sacculus is broader, the gap between the sacculus and vincular process is narrower and the saccus distinctly extends beyond the top of pedunculus (does not extend in S. skulei) (see Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 375, fig. 18 for comparison).	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

The new species is characterised externally by the uniformly greyish brown forewing with black mark in fold and a pair of black dots edged with brown in the cell corner. The similar species, S. ochraeata sp. nov. differs in the absence of black markings in the cell corner and in fold. Scrobipalpa reiprichi Povolný, 1984 is rather similar in the male genitalia, but differs externally in well developed black streaks on the costal margin. Long cucullus (far extending beyond top of uncus), short narrow vincular processes and elongate uncus are characteristic of the male genitalia. Scrobipalpa reiprichi differs in the shorter cucullus (not extending beyond the top of uncus), a narrower gap between cucullus and sacculus, more elongate vinculum and the saccus extending far beyond the top of the pedunculus (see for comparison Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 382, fig. 37). The new species differs from S. intima (Povolný, 2001) and S. punctulata Li & Bidzilya, 2019 in the longer cucullus, a distinct transition from tegumen to uncus, and the sacculus distinctly bent apically.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE384937A7E2FE24FEA0FDA3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scrobipalpa intima is externally a uniformly greyish brown species with one small and two larger brown spots in the cell. It can hardly be distinguished externally from related species without studying the genitalia. Scrobipalpa punctulata is very similar but larger (13.5 – 16.0 mm) with more distinct brown spots. The elongate (length twice width) uncus emarginated apically in combination with the broad U-shaped posteromedial emargination of the vinculum, and nearly straight weakly curved and short cucullus are characteristic of the male genitalia. The similar species S. punctulata differs in the straight or rounded rather than apically emarginated uncus, sacculus as broad at base as cucullus (narrower than cucullus in S. intima), and deeper gap between the cucullus and sacculus. The female genitalia are recognised by the narrow, long lobes of the ventromedial depression entirely covered with foam sculpture with outwardly curved anterior tips. Scrobipalpa zagulajevi Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 is very similar but differs in the longer lobes of the ventromedial depression which extend distinctly beyond the anterior margin of sternum VIII.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE3B4937A7E2FD1CFF6AF8D6.taxon	discussion	Remark. Scrobipalpa punctulata was described from eight males and one female collected in Henan and Shanxi Provinces in China (Li & Bidzilya 2019). The abdomen of the single female from the type series has been lost, so that its genitalia have not been described. The male genitalia of specimens from Siberia (Fig. 79) match in all details the type specimens of S. punctulata from China. However, adults of the latter have darker, blackish grey rather than light grey hindwing (Figs 20, 21). The female genitalia are described here for the first time. Female genitalia (Fig. 131). Papillae anales subtriangular, sparsely covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores four times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII as broad as long; posterior margin of sternum VIII broadly emarginated, anterior margin straight, strongly edged; subgenital plates distinctly broadened posteriorly and almost connected at 3 / 4 length, smoothly sclerotised, with several transverse folds at base of apophyses anteriores; ventromedial depression smooth, medially merged, broadly rounded anteriorly, not extending beyond anterior margin of sternum VIII, separated anteriorly by short triangular incision; apophyses anteriores straight, as long as segment VIII; colliculum narrow, ring-shaped; ductus bursae gradually broadened, with indistinct transition to narrow, elongate corpus bursae, signum stout, distal hook broad at base, with short teeth in basal portion.

03808790CE3A4931A7E2FA9EFEBCF905.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scrobipalpa chitensis (Figs 22 – 24) and S. bidzilyai (Figs 25, 26) are very similar to each other and cannot be separated unambiguously externally. However, S. bidzilyai is larger in wingspan (10.2 – 10.5 mm), whereas the wingspan of S. chitensis is 8.8 – 9.0 mm. The male genitalia are more diagnostic: in S. chitensis (Figs 80, and the vincular process is shorter, broader and weaker, curved outwardly; posteromedial emargination of vinculum without inner hump (with distinct hump in S. bidzilyai). Additionally, the genitalia capsule of S. bidzilyai is larger (Figs 82, 83). The female genitalia of S. bidzilyai are nearly indistinguishable from those of S. chitensis. However, we found a small difference in the length of the ductus bursae that is 3 – 4 times the length of the apophyses anteriores in S. bidzilyai and 2 – 2.5 times in S. chitensis. Additionally, the ventromedial depression in S. bidzilyai is broader, and the subgenital plate bears a medial fold that is absent in S. chitensis. The total length of the female genitalia of S. bidzilyai is 1.5 – 2 times longer than that of the female genitalia of S. chitensis. Female genitalia (Figs 134, 135). Papillae anales subovate, covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores 4 times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII about as broad as long, sternum VIII densely covered with microspines, subgenital plates 1 / 4 width of sternum VIII, parallel-sided, with medial folds, lobes of ventromedial depression broad, rounded, separated by triangular incision anteromedially, not extending beyond anterior margin of sternum VIII; apophyses anteriores as long as segment VIII and 3 – 4 times length of ductus bursae; ductus bursae moderately broad, of even width except narrowed posterior portion; corpus bursae rounded, 1 / 3 length of ductus bursae; signum with large, subtriangular basal plate and straight or weakly curved acute process directed anteriorly.

Euscrobipalpa bidzilyai was described from one male and one female collected in the vicinity of Nizhniy Tsasutchei (holotype) and Kyra (paratype) villages of Zabaikalskiy krai in Russia. The female genitalia of S. bidzilya illustrated by Povolný (2002: 72, fig. 727) are in fact those of S. ferruginosa (Povolný, 2001). For the details see below under the latter species. Here we describe the female genitalia of S. bidzilyai for the first time. Remark 2. Scrobipalpa caryocoloides Povolný, 1977 was described from the holotype female collected in Japan (Hokkaido, Sapporo). The species looks indistinguishable superficially from S. bidzilyai and S. chitensis. The female genitalia of the holotype are very similar to those of S. bidzilyai. However, we prefer to treat S. bidzilyai and S. caryocoloides as separate species until more material from Japan including the unknown male becomes available.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE3F4933A7E2FF05FBDCF8DC.taxon	discussion	Remark 1. Euscrobipalpa tenebrata was described from a single male (Fig. 27) collected in the vicinity of Chita, Zabaikalskiy krai of Russia. The studied specimens from Buryatia and Zabaikalskiy krai match superficially and in the male genitalia the holotype of S. tenebrata. All examined specimens show variations in the length of the uncus and width of the saccus (Figs 84 – 86). However, DNA barcodes clearly justify them as one species with an interspecific variation of 0.16 %. Remark 2. Scrobipalpa tenebrata is probably conspecific with S. felixi Povolný, 1978. The latter was described from a single male from Mongolia. However, we hesitate to establish this synonymy until the holotype of S. felixi is examined. The female genitalia of S. tenebrata are characterised by the subgenital plate membranous along the outer margin in combination with foamy sculptured lobes of the ventromedial depression and stout signum. Scrobipalpa zaitzevi Piskunov, 1990 has a somewhat similar segment VIII with a partially membranous subgenital plate, but differs in the narrower and weaker covered with foam sculpture lobes of the ventromedial depression, longer apophyses anteriores that exceed the length of segment VIII (not exceeded in S. tenebrata), broader ductus bursae and smaller, rounded rather than egg-shaped corpus bursae as well as a shorter signum (Figs 137, 138). Remark 3. Here we describe the female genitalia of S. tenebrata for the first time.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE3E492DA7E2F9B3FAE3FBAB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Scrobipalpa zaitzevi was described from a single male collected in Gobi-Altai Aimak, southern Mongolia (Piskunov 1990: 306). Scrobipalpa punctata (Povolný, 1996) was described from a single female collected in the vicinity of Naryn, Kyrgyzstan (Povolný 1996: 26). We have been able to evaluate the DNA barcode of the holotype of S. punctata available on BOLD (Barcode MZH-LEP 00000042) which fully corresponds to material identified as S. zaitzevi. We furthermore studied additional specimens of both sexes collected sympatrically in Kyrgyzstan. These specimens match externally and in the female genitalia the holotype of S. punctata. The male genitalia are conspecific with those of S. zaitzevi (Figs 88, 89). Despite the holotype of S. zaitzevi being in rather poor condition, its wing pattern resembles that of S. punctata from Kyrgyzstan and males from the Altai Mountains. Hence, the following synonymy is proposed: Scrobipalpa punctata (Povolný, 1996) syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa zaitzevi Piskunov, 1990. The figure of the male genitalia of S. punctata from southern Ural mountains (Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 392, fig. 69) and adults of these species (Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 336, pl. 6, fig. 69 a, b) probably should be referred to S. obsoletella. However, the figure of the female genitalia (Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 480, fig. 69) is correct.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE21492CA7E2FBE9FBF3F923.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A rather variable species, but greyish black forewing with black spots in cell and fold, black subapical streak and light brown suffusion along veins, in fold and near dorsal margin are characteristic of most of the examined specimens. Scrobipalpa dorsoflava (Povolný, 1996) is very similar, but the black subapical streak is absent, and the dorsal margin is distinctly lighter in this species. The male genitalia are distinguished by the sacculus being broadest in the middle with a distinctly bent dorsal margin in combination with a slender phallus with a strongly inflated caecum. Scrobipalpa magnificella Povolný, 1967 and S. heretica have a similar sacculus, but the vincular processes are shorter (not reaching top of sacculus), and the saccus is broader and shorter. The long lobes of the ventromedial depression that far extend beyond the anterior margin of sternite VIII and subgenital plates strongly sclerotised medially are characteristic of the female genitalia. Scrobipalpa maniaca Povolný, 1969 has similar long lobes of the ventromedial depression, but differs in the more uniformly sclerotised subgenital plate and very slender and long signum. Scrobipalpa similis Povolný, 1973 has shorter lobes of the ventromedial depression, more closely connected anteriorly, and a stronger curved signum. For the differences from other species see Huemer & Karsholt (2010: 111 – 112).	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

Scrobipalpa kullbergi sp. nov. is a small species with light grey forewing with diffuse brown obligue costal streak and black markings in the cell. The long parallel-sided sacculus and broad saccus are characteristic of the male genitalia. Scrobipalpa pulchra Povolný, 1967 has a somewhat similar long sacculus, but it is distinctly broadened apically rather than parallel-sided in the new species, the vincular processes in S. pulchra are very short and the saccus is much narrower.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE254928A7E2FEB4FF55FA05.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scrobipalpa inexplictata sp. nov. is a medium-sized species with a predominantly grey forewing with a light brown suffusion and distinct black margings. The same forewing pattern is common in Scrobipalpa (e. g. S. inferna Povolný, 1973, S. cryptica Povolný, 1969, S. bulganensis Povolný, 1969), so that new species cannot be unambiguously recognised based on external characters alone. The male genitalia are characterised by the elongate uncus, narrow weakly curved inwards sacculus, long saccus and short hump on posterior margin of vinculum between the sacculus and vincular process. The presence of this hump separates the new species from S. obsoletella, S. truncata and S. marmorella. Scrobipalpa cryptica also has a short vincular hump, but the vincular process in the latter is broader than the sacculus (narrower in S. inexplictata sp. nov.), and the posteromedial emargination of the vinculum is U-shaped in S. cryptica rather than V-shaped in the new species. Additionally, the new species can be separated from related species by the triangular rather than rounded at base incision of the posterior margin of vinculum. The female genitalia of S. inexplictata sp. nov. are very similar to those of S. ahasver Povolný, 1969, but in the latter species the ventromedial depression is broader, its lobes are strongly sclerotised laterally and far extending anteriorly, and the colliculum is broader. Scrobipalpa ahasver clearly differs from S. inexplictata sp. nov. superficially by the black forewing with a white angulated subapical fascia.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE27492AA7E2FCEDFB3FFE6B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is characterised superficially by the forewing indistinctly divided into a grey costal part and light brown dorsal part. Scrobipalpa inexplictata sp. nov. is similar, but the grey pattern is more distinct on the dorsal part. Scrobipalpa perfecta (Povolný, 1996) has a broader grey costal pattrern that extends to the fold; S. superba (Povolný, 1996) comb. nov. has a narrower forewing. The male genitalia are distinguished by the elongate cucullus and tegumen, short sacculus and straight vincular process. Scrobipalpa cinerea (Povolný, 1996) comb. nov. is very similar but the sacculus is narrower than the adjacent portion of the cucullus (broader in S. cinerosella, Fig. 98), and the vincular process is broader in S. cinerosella. The smooth subgenital plate with a sclerotised pattern along the medial margins and the broad ductus bursae are characteristic of the female genitalia. Scrobipalpa zaitzevi is similar, but differs in the broader lobes of the ventromedial depression and sternum VIII with a weakly sclerotised anterior edge (strongly sclerotised in S. cinerosella). Female genitalia (Fig. 145).

Scrobipalpa cinerosella is very similar externally and in the male genitalia to S. cinerea (see above under Diagnosis), but the females are quite different. We hesitate to synonymize these species until more extensive material of both species becomes available, and DNA study confirms the current association of the male sex to the corresponding female.

03808790CE264924A7E2FB70FCF2FEFB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species can be recognised externally by the greyish black forewing with a distinct light brown pattern along the veins and small black markings. Scrobopapla inferna is very similar, but has more distinct black markings; S. mongolica Povolný, 1969 differs in a less distinct light brown suffusion in the dorsal half of the forewing. An elongate apically rounded uncus in combination with a short broad sacculus with pointed and posteriorly directed tip, narrow vincular process and deep posteromedial emargination of the vinculum are characteristic of the male genitalia. In S. mongolica the saccus is broader, and the sacculus is narrowed at the base and extends to 1 / 3 length of cucullus (not narrowed at base and extends to 1 / 5 length of cucullus in the new species). The female genitalia are characterised by the slender, deeply divided lobes of the ventromedial depression, subgenital plates distinctly covered with foamy sculpture, broad ductus bursae with indistinct transition to short corpus bursae and sigmoid signum with small basal plate. Scrobipalpa grisea Povolný, 1969, S. frugifera and some other species have a somewhat similar sternum VIII but the broad ductus bursae, small narrow corpus bursae and sigmoid signum are characteristic of S. altubura sp. nov.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE284927A7E2FC79FBC0FC8B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scrobipalpa ferruginosa is defined externally by the light brown forewing with a dark costal margin and ochreous-brown head (Figs 45, 46). The male genitalia are characterised by the comparatively short and narrow weakly curved inwardly sacculus in combination with the nearly parallel-sided saccus, and cucullus distinctly broadened apically (Fig. 103). Scrobipalpa alterna Falkovitsh & Bidzilya, 2006 and S. lutea Povolný, 1977 are somewhat similar but the saccus is weakly curved inwardly, the vincular process is shorter and the cucullus is not broadened apically. The female genitalia of S. ferruginosa (Figs 148 – 150) are similar to those of S. pseudolutea Piskunov, 1990 and S. pauperella (Heinemann, 1870), but slightly differ in the shorter sternite VIII and shape of the signum. Male genitalia (Fig. 103). Uncus slightly longer than broad, weakly narrowed apically, posterior margin rounded; gnathos short, slightly curved; tegumen elongate, with broadly rounded anteromedial emargination extending to 1 / 4 as broad as cucullus, weakly narrowed posteriorly, with inwardly curved short tip; vinculum twice as broad as long, with V-shaped posteromedial emargination, vincular process subtriangular with outwardly curved tip, as broad at base as sacculus; saccus narrow, distal portion nearly parallel-sided, weakly extending beyond top of pedunculus; distal portion of phallus straight, with weakly pointed apex, apical arm narrow, weakly sinuate, caecum about as broad and half as long as phallic tube.

03808790CE284927A7E2FC79FBC0FC8B.taxon	discussion	Remark 1. Euscrobipalpa ferruginosa was described from a single specimen (Fig. 45) collected in the vicinity of Nizhniy Tsasutchey village, Zabaikalskiy krai, Russia. The holotype proved to be female (frenulum consisting of three acanthae), its genitalia were erroneously placed under the male paratype of S. bidzilyai, whereas the male genitalia of the latter species were assigned to S. ferruginosa and figured in the original description (Povolný 2001: 186, fig. 7). The female genitalia of the holotype of ferruginosa which were treated as a female of S. bidzilya (Povolný 2001: 185, fig. 5), are conspecific with the holotype of S. pinosa (Fig. 149), which was described from a single female (Fig. 46) collected sympatrically with S. ferruginosa. The holotype of S. pinosa is also indistinguishable from the holotype of S. ferruginosa (Fig. 45). Both species were described in the same paper, on page 187 (S. ferruginosa) and on page 194 (S. pinosa). Hence we consider here S. pinosa (Povolný, 2001) a syn. nov. of S. ferruginosa (Povolný, 2001). Remark 2. The male genitalia of S. ferruginosa are described here for the first time.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE2B4921A7E2FCF4FE7EFEDF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is characterised externally by the yellowish brown forewing with a distinct grey suffusion along the veins and costal margin, and diffuse pale angulate subapical fascia. The latter character separates S. krasnogorka sp. nov. from the externally similar S. inferna, S. altubura sp. nov. and S. mongolica. The slender elongate tegumen and uncus in combination with the long and broad vincular process, and short saccus are characteristic of the male genitalia. The female genitalia are distinguished by sternum VIII being entirely covered with foam sclerotisation, broad lobes of the ventromedial depression which far project anteriorly, the broad ductus bursae and slender signum. Scrobipalpa spumata has very similar male and female genitalia (Figs 106, 152), but differs in the broader, less narrowed apically vincular process in the male genitalia and less developed foam scales tipped with dark grey or brown, frons paler, light grey to white, labial palpus upcurved, white densely mixed with greyish black, without distinct dark rings, palpomere 2 with inner surface lighter, off-white, upperside with brush of modified scales, palpomere 3 about 1 / 2 length and width of palpomere 3, acute, white apex, scape brown with a few white scales, flagellomeres brown ringed with white. Forewing ground colour yellow to light brown, veins and costal margin with distinct grey irroration. Hindwing and cilia grey. Variation. Specimens look darker or lighter depending on the extent of grey irroration; diffuse ochreous-brown spots in the cell are present in the female paratypes. Male genitalia (Figs 104, 105). Uncus subrectangular, twice as long as broad, posterior margin straight; gnathos slender, weakly curved; culcitula elongate, well developed; tegumen slender, elongate, with indistinct transition to uncus, anteromedial emargination broad, extending to 1 / 3 length of tegumen; cucullus slender, weakly curved, slightly expanded apically, extending to top of uncus; sacculus 1 / 4 – 1 / 3 length of cucullus, of even width, weakly constricted before middle, inner margin straight, outer margin bent inwards at 2 / 3, tip inwardly turned; vinculum twice as broad as long, posterior margin with broad V-shaped emargination, vincular process stout, twice as broad at base as sacculus, narrowed posteriorly, with distinct pointed outwardly curved tip, not extending to top of sacculus; saccus slender, gradually narrowed apically, extending to or slightly extending beyond top of pedunculus; distal portion of phallus straight, of about even width, as long as strongly inflated caecum, apical arm narrow, placed at right angles to phallus. Female genitalia (Fig. 151). Papillae anales subovate, covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores four times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII slightly broader than long, posterior margin of sternum VIII as broad as long; subgenital plates parallel-sided, 1 / 3 width of sternum VIII, densely covered with foam sculpture from base of apophyses anteriores to 3 / 4 length; ventromedial depression covered with fine microtrichia, laterally broadly folded, lobes of ventromedial depression distinctly separated from subgenital plates, rounded and outwardly curved anteriorly, extending beyond anterior edge of sternum VIII, with triangular anteromedial gap, densely covered with foam sculpure; apophyses anteriores as long as segment VIII, straight; ductus bursae broad, of even width except for narrow posterior 1 / 6, colliculum short; corpus bursae clearly distinguished from ductus bursae, rounded, signum on right side near entrance of corpus bursae, basal plate of signum small, distal hook narrow, gradually curved, pointed, with three teeth at base.

03808790CE2D4921A7E2FE00FC07FAEC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Scrobipalpa similis was described from the male holotype (Fig. 49) collected in south Mongolia. The specimen is in poor condition, the forewing pattern is indistinct with a brown spot in fold, diffuse brown costal spot at 3 / 4 and apex mottled with brown. The male genitalia are rather characteristic in the sacculus and vincular process being broad, of equal length and width, and the straight phallus with distinctly inflated caecum (Figs 107 – 110). Specimens whose males match the holotype of S. similis but females match the holotype S. kyrana have been found sympatrically in SE Kazakhstan and Zabaikalskiy krai of Russia. Moreover, in Kazakhstan these males and females have been bred from the same host plant, so that we have no doubt of their conspecificity to each other, and to S. similis and S. kyrana respectively. Hence, we establish the new following synonymy: Scrobipalpa kyrana (Povolný, 2001) syn. nov. of Scrobipalpa similis Povolný, 1973.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE2C4923A7E2FDB0FA34FC6F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A light, uniformly yellow to yellowish brown forewing with a darker costal margin is characteristic of the new species. Scrobipalpa spumata (Fig. 55) and uniformly coloured specimens of S. krasnogorka sp. nov. are nearly indistinguishable on the forewing pattern, but the head and labial palpus in S. buryatica sp. nov. are the palest among these three species, usually white with very indistinct dark markings. Scrobipalpa lutea has a similar wing pattern but differs in the presence of diffuse brown spots. The male genitalia of the new species can be recognised by the basally broad vincular process with a distinct, pointed, outwardly curved tip, and broad posteromedial emargination of the vinculum. Scrobipalpa pauperella (Heinemann, 1870), S. arenbergeri (Povolný, 1973) and S. spumata (Fig. 106) are similar in the shape of the sacculus and vincular process but differ in the narrower posteromedial emargination of the vinculum. Scrobipalpa lutea has a broader sacculus (twice as broad as the cucullus, only slightly broader in S. buryatica sp. nov.), and a longer uncus. The lobes of the ventromedial depression with pointed and anteriorly outwardly curved tips that project far beyond the anterior margin of sternum VIII in combination with the weakly modified subgenital plates are characteristic of the female genitalia. Scrobipalpa spumata, S. krasnogorka sp. nov. and S. pauperella differ in the narrower subgenital plates with a stronger developed foam sculpture and microtrichia, and the lobes of the anteromedial depression turned outwardly anteriorly (straight in S. spumata (Fig. 152), and S. pauperella). Scrobipalpa lutea has segment VIII distinctly longer than broad (slightly longer than broad in S. buryatica sp. nov.), and the subgenital plates are of equal width (broadened posteriorly in S. buryatica sp. nov.). For the differences in the genitalia of both sexes from S. ferruginosa see above under that species.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

Head white to yellowish white, slightly mixed with light brown on vertex, labial palpus upcurved, yellowish white, slightly mixed with light brown, inner surface white, scape light brown, flagellomeres yellow ringed with brown. Thorax and tegulae yellow to light brown. Forewing yellow mottled with light brown, costal margin and termen with distinct dark brown irroration, cilia yellow, browntipped. Hindwing grey with brown scales along veins and margins. Variation. The female paratype has a darker forewing because of grey irroration along the veins. Male genitalia (Figs 115, 116). Uncus 1.5 times as long as broad at base, gradually narrowed towards rounded posterior margin; gnathos short, weakly curved; tegumen broad, subtriangular, with broad anteromedial emargination; cucullus slender, weakly curved, slightly expanded apically, extending to top of uncus; inner margiun of sacculus narrow, outer margin weakly curved, with small pointed tip, about 1 / 3 length of cucullus; vinculum twice as broad as long, posterior margin with broad emargination, vincular process at base 1.5 times as broad as sacculus, distinctly narrowed posteriorly, with distinct pointed outwardly curved tip, extending to 3 / 4 length of sacculus; saccus subtriangular, gradually narrowed apically, extending far or slightly beyond top of pedunculus; distal portion of phallus straight, of about even width, as long as strongly inflated caecum, apex pointed, apical arm narrow, placed at right angles to phallus.

The species is characterised externally by the white head and yellowish brown forewing with a blackish brown pattern and black markings in the cell. Similar species S. pulchra is brighter, and the ochreous brown pattern is more distinct. The elongate uncus, long vincular processes (exceed length of sacculus), and phallus with a cluster of short spines are characteristic of the male genitalia. Scrobipalpa maniaca shares the two first characters, but the uncus is about 1 / 2 length of tegumen (1 / 3 in S. albiflava sp. nov.), the vincular process with tips more strongly curved outwardly, and the phallus with the caecum more strongly inflated and without the cluster of spines.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE11491CA7E2FF05FB38FAD1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is characterized by the greyish black forewing with ochreous irroration in fold, under costal 1 / 2 and along veins in apical 1 / 3 in combination with pair of black spots edged with ochreous in the middle of the wing and in cell corner. Scrobipalpa smithi Povolný & Bradley, 1965 and S. occulta (Fig. 59) are very similar but usually paler with a more extensive ochreous pattern. The extremely broadened vincular process (twice as broad as sacculus) is the most characteristic diagnostic feature in the male genitalia. Similar species S. occulta has a narrower vincular process (1.5 times as broad as sacculus) (Fig. 160). The broad lobes of the ventromedial depression (broader than subgenital plates) are characteristic of the female genitalia of S. sibirica. Scrobipalpa occulta is similar, but has the lobes of the ventromedial depression as broad as the subgenital plates (Fig. 160). The vincular process of S. ochrogera (Fig. 119) is broader than in S. occulta but narrower than in S. sibirica.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE11491CA7E2FF05FB38FAD1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Scrobipalpa occulta was described based on a single female (Fig. 59) collected near Istanbul, Turkey. Later, additional specimens including males were discovered in the southern Ural Mountains of Russia (Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 80 – 81). Scrobipalpa sibirica was described from a series of specimens collected in the vicinity of Beltir village, Altai Republic of Russia (holotype), other localities in the Kosh-Agatch district of Altai and one male from Krasnoyarskiy krai of Russia. All the studied females of S. sibirica differ both from the holotype of S. occulta and additional specimens of that species in the broader lobes of the ventromedial depression. We also found constant differences in the male genitalia (see above under Diagnosis) between S. occulta and S. sibirica. The morphological differences between these taxa are supported by molecular study: the mean distance between the S. sibirica and S. occulta from S Ural (Barcode TLMF Lep 25657) is 3.74 %. Hence, we reject the synonymy proposed by Huemer & Karsholt (2010: 80 – 81) and consider S. sibirica to be a separate species. Scrobipalpa ochrogera was described based on five males collected in the Dzhambul region of Kazakhstan (Bishkek 70 km NNE) and one male collected 30 km E Naryn (Kyrgyzstan) (Fig. 60). The species is undoubtedly related to both S. sibirica and S. occulta but 3 % barcodes divergent justifies a separate species. We expect further taxonomic changes in this complex after variations in the female genitalia and males of S. occulta from the type locality have been studied. The molecular study seems very promising in this respect too.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE13491EA7E2F9A8FF69F8B7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Scrobipalpa japonica is characterised externally by the greyish black forewing with a broad black mixed with brown longitudinal streak from base to apex. Scrobipalpa rebeli, S. mixta and S. disjectella are very similar and can hardly be reliably separated without studying the genitalia. However, S. mixta is usually larger, S. disjectella is more contrasting, the rather variable S. rebeli usually has a darker posterior margin of the forewing. The broadly rounded apically sacculus and vincular processes with indistinct tips in combination with the short, distinctly broadened apically cucullus are characteristic of the male genitalia. The most closely related S. rebeli differs in the longer uncus that is folded laterally, the narrower vincular processes and broader saccus. The sacculus and vincular processes are narrower in S. mixta and shorter in S. disjectella. The female genitalia of S. japonica are recognized by the smooth sternum VIII with distinctly sclerotised medially and posteriorly subgenital plates and long, narrow signum. The related species differ additionally in the subgenital plates covered with a small foam sculpture (S. disjectella, S. mixta) or microtrichia (S. rebeli). Male genitalia (Figs 124 – 125). Uncus twice as long than broad, apically narrowed. Posterior margin rounded; gnathos short, weakly curved; tegumen moderately broad, anteromedial emargination broadly rounded, extending to 1 / 3 length; cucullus distinctly broadened in distal portion, with rounded apex, not extending beyond top of uncus; sacculus twice as broad as adjacent part of cucullus, apex broadly rounded with very small indistinct tip, extending nearly to half length of cucullus, of even width; vinculum slightly more than twice as broad as long, posterior margin with deep and narrow triangular basally and parallel-sided distally emargination, vincular process as broad and slightly shorter than sacculus, with short outwardly curved tip; saccus slender, extending far beyond top of pedunculus; distal portion of phallus broad, parallel-sided, apex pointed, apical arm narrow, down-curved, caecum slightly broader and about 1 / 3 length of phallic tube. Female genitalia (Fig. 162). Papillae anales subovate, sparsely covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores four time as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII 1.5 times longer than broad, sternum VIII with triangular posteromedial emargination, subgenital plates subtriangular, distinctly broadened posteriorly, smooth except for weakly sclerotised patches along medial and posterior edges, ventromedial depression subtriangular distinctly broadened anteriorly, covered with fine microtrichia in posterior portion, anteriorly with large, deep triangular incision, subostial sclerites distinct, narrow; apophyses anteriores slightly shorter than segment VIII, straight; colliculum narrow, ring-shaped; ductus bursae moderately broad, corpus bursae elongate, basal plate of signum subtriangular, with several teeth on inner margin, distal hook long, narrow, curved at obtuse angle at 1 / 4.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE13491EA7E2F9A8FF69F8B7.taxon	discussion	Remark 1. Scrobipalpa japonica was described based on a single male collected in Hokkaido, Japan. Later the species was recorded from SE Ukraine (Povolný 2001: 205, fig. 27). The study of the holotype of S. japonica and additional material from China, southern Siberia and Ukraine showed that S. japonica differs clearly from S. rebeli in the genitalia of both sexes and should be taken out of synonymy of the latter, see also the genetic difference in fig 9. Remark 2. Here we redescribe the male genitalia and describe the female genitalia of S. japonica for the first time.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE17491AA7E2FA14FD4CFC3B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species can be recognized externally by the light brown forewing mottled with ochreous in fold, below costal margin and along veins in subapical 1 / 3. Scrobipalpa sinica is very similar but has a more distinct ochreous irroration along the veins. A broad ventromedial depression, short apophyses anteriores, short ductus bursae and long signum hook are characteristic of the female genitalia of the new species. Scrobipalpa usingeri Povolný, 1969 also has a broad anteromedial depression, but clearly differs in the longer apophyses anteriores and segment VIII being more weakly narrowed posteriorly. Thorax and tegulae greyish black. Forewing greyish black mixed with ochreous-brown from base to 2 / 3 of dorsal margin and before apex, fold and subcostal vein light brown, diffuse brown subapical streak from corner of cell to wing apex, indistinct brown subapical fascia at 3 / 4, cilia grey black-tipped. Hindwing and cilia grey. Male. Unknown (see under Remarks). Female genitalia (Figs 163, 164). Papillae anales subovate, sparsely covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores 6 times as long as apophyses anteriores, segment VIII trapezoidal, distinctly narrowed apically, basally as long as broad, posterior margin of sternum VIII with broad medial emargination, anterior margin weakly edged; subgenital plates 1 / 6 width of sternum VIII, with patch of foam sculpture at base of apophyses anteriores; ventromedial depression broad, covered with fine microtrichia, folded medially; lobes of anteromedial depression broad, anteriorly rounded and covered with foam sculpture, not extending beyond anterior edge of sternum VIII, with deep and broad triangular anteromedial gap; apophyses anteriores 1 / 4 length of segment VIII, straight; ductus bursae short, narrow of even width, colliculum short; corpus bursae clearly distinguished from ductus bursae, eggshaped, slightly shorter than ductus bursae, signum on right side near entrance of corpus bursae, basal plate narrow with one small tooth, distal hook narrow, long, weakly curved in middle, pointed.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.

03808790CE17491AA7E2FA14FD4CFC3B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A single male from Tuva (Figs 70, 129) matches externally the type specimens of S. ochraeata sp. nov., and we illustrate it here as a possible male of this species. However, this suggestion needs verification by study of additional specimens including females from Tuva.	en	BIDZILYA, OLEKSIY, HUEMER, PETER, ŠUMPICH, JAN (2022): Taxonomy and faunistics of the genus Scrobipalpa Janse, 1951 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) in southern Siberia.
