Aethes dilucidana ( Stephens, 1852)

Material examined. 1 ♂, Montenegro. Durmitor Nacional Park , Duži, 21.vii.2013, GP 30474 IgR ; 1 ♀ Kučka planina Rikavačko jezero, 28.vi.2012, GP 18767 IgR .

Note. Regarding the genitalia morphology of both sexes, specimens from Montenegro differ greatly from A. dilucidana from other localities. Additional study is required to clarify whether specimens from Montenegro represent a separate undescribed species. Thus, the determination of this material is still preliminary and the subject to change in the future.
