Diagnosis. Ancylosis roscidella is similar to A. oblitella ( Zeller, 1848) externally, but it is pale in color and antemedial and postmedial lines are indistinct in contrast to A. oblitella . Additional differences between these two species are discussed above. The genitalia of A. roscidella are similar to those of A. bartelella , but the male genitalia are distinguished by the uncus rounded at apex, the gnathos pointed and curved at apex, the valva 6 times as long as wide and the vinculum narrowed anteriorly; in A. bartelella , the uncus is pointed at apex, the gnathos is inflated at apex, the valva is 7 times as long as wide and the vinculum is uniformly wide. In female genitalia, the corpus bursae is longer than the ductus bursae in A. roscidella , but it is shorter than the ductus bursae in A. bartelella .

Distribution. China ( Gansu, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang), Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Arabia, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Kashmir, Lebanon, Mongolia, Morocco, Nepal, Palestine, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sudan, Syria , Tunisia, Ukraine, former Yugoslavia.
