Anacampsis fuscella ( Eversmann, 1844)

Kuvandyk 13–16.VI.1998 (1 ex.); Miass 16.VII.1997 (1 ex.), 19.VI.1998 (1 ex.); Sanarskii bor 27.VII.1998 (1 ex.); Verbljushka 17.VI.1999 (1 ex.), 01.VIII.2005 (1 ex.). Genitalia slides: J. Junnilainen prep. no. 02012601, 02021602.

Type material studied: Two syntypes labelled “ Lita n. sp. subsequella (Hub.?) 161.; 204e; coll. Eversmann; Prep.no. 9251 ♂ ” (coll. ZISP) and “204a; fuscella Evm. subsequella; coll. Eversmann ” ( ZISP); the latter specimen belongs to a related species, most probably A. obscurella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) .

Distribution. Known from Sweden, Finland and Russia (S Ural). Outside Europe in Kazakhstan and Transbaikalia (Chita region).

Remarks. Lita fuscella was described from an unstated number of specimens collected in June and July in Orenburg and Kasan ( Eversmann 1844). A lectotype is not designated here, because the syntype specimen available to us is in poor condition and we expect that there may exist better specimens in the ZISP.
