48. Ectoedemia similigena Puplesis, 1994 View in CoL

( Figs 111–113 View FIGURES 110 – 113 )

Host-plant. Unknown.

Type of distribution (chorological group). Sub-Mediterranean (a tentative endemic of the Crimea, but could also be introduced from somewhere).

Material examined. CRIMEA: 1♂, holotype, Yalta, Botanic Garden, at light, 20.v.1981, leg. V. Kornilov, genitalia slide no. AN 216♂, 9♂, paratypes, the same labels data, genitalia slide no. EvN3924; 1♀, paratype, the same label data genitalia slide no. EvN3925♀.

Remarks. The species is very rare in the Crimea: known from single locality (solitary finding) and sporadic. It was described by R. Puplesis in 1994 on the basis of specimens collected at light. During the field work of 2011 or 2012, the occurence of this species was not re-confirmed.
