Emmelina monodactyla (Linnaeus, 1758)

Ustjuzhanin, P. Ya. & Kovtunovich, V. N., 2018, The fauna of plume moths (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) of the Republic of Khakassia, Far Eastern Entomologist 362, pp. 21-24 : 23-24

Emmelina monodactyla (Linnaeus, 1758)

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Khakhassia: Efremkino, 3.VII 2000, 1♀ (O. Kosterin).

DISTRIBUTION. North Africa, Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, southern

Siberia eastward to Tuva, Mongolia, China, India, Philippines, North and South America.

Despite the relatively small list of Pterophoridae species represented in the current overview, these data are the first for the territory of Khakassia. We assume that during the future research, at least 20 more species from such genera as Platyptilia, Stenoptilia ,

Amblyptilia, Hellinsia, Merrifieldia can be added to this list. For comparison, the Pterophoridae fauna of such neighboring republics as Altai and Tuva counts 53 and 37 species respectively (Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich, 2007, 2008, Ustjuzhanin et al., 2017), and there is no doubt that the species diversity of Pterophoridae in Khakassia is not less rich.
