Agonopterix rubrovittella (Caradja, 1926) was described from a single female specimen collected at Sutschansk, Russian Far East and based on the external features only. Afterwards, Agonopterix mutuurai Saito, 1980 was described from Honshu, Japan, based on both external appearance and male and female genitalia, all presented in black and white prin...

... the closest similar species to Agonopterix rubrovittella is A. kaekeritziana ( fig. 8a), mentioned also by Saito in the description of A. mutuurai. However, in this species, the reddish-brown pattern elements on the forewing exhibit a wide range of intensity (whilst the specimen depicted in fig. 8 has rich markings, in other specimens markings may be nearly absent). In Agonopterix bipunctosa (Curtis, 1850), reddish brown ...

In Agonopterix bipunctosa (Curtis, 1850), reddish brown elements are generally weak or absent, whilst in A. broennoeensis they are concentrated or even restricted to a spot beneath the central dot. In all these species the central dot on the forewing is small and ...

... This study provided the circumstances for provisional reassessing the systematic position of the five species described by Aristide Caradja. Another two species, Agonopterix rubrovittella (Caradja, 1926) = Agonopterix mutuurai Saito, 1980 and Agonopterix lacteella (Caradja, 1920) = Depressaria pallidior Stringer, 1930, were examined some earlier (Dubatolov et al., 2014;Buchner, Stanescu, 2018, 2019. One more species Depressaria ussuriella Caradja, 1920 was turned out as representative of the genus Odites Walsingham, 1891, family Lecithoceridae (Lvovsky, 2013). ...
The type material of five species of the flat moths described by Aristide Caradja from the Russian Far East and originally placed within the genus Depressaria Haworth, 1811 were examined. Four of these species now belong to the genus Agonopterix Hübner, [1825] and one to Exaeretia Stainton, 1849. Three new synonyms are established: Agonopterix pallorella (Zeller, 1839) = Depressaria divergella Caradja, 1920, syn. nov.; Agonopterixmultiplicella (Erschoff, 1877) = Depressaria sutschanella Caradja, 1926, syn.nov.; and Exaeretia exquisitella (Caradja, 1920), comb. nov. = Exaeretia amurella Lvovsky, 1990, syn. nov. A new systematic status is proposed for Depressaria rimulella Caradja, 1920 as Agonopterix liturosa rimulella (Caradja, 1920), comb. nov., stat. demotus.
In Romania 102 species of Depressariidae, Peleopodidae, Ethmiidae and Fuchsiini were recorded in the last checklist and its supplement (Rákosy et al. 2003; Rákosy and Goia 2007). The present study deals with a total of 117 species ever recorded from Romania including voucher material studied in this overview: 101 Depressariidae, 2 Peleopodidae, 13 Ethmiidae and 1 Fuchsiini. As a result of the analysis of the studied material the Romanian fauna is currently considered to consist of 114 species, 90 of them are confirmed and 24 requiring confirmation. 13 species are recorded for the first time from Romania: Agonopterix bipunctosa (Curtis, 1850), A. coenosella (Zerny, 1940), A. ferocella (Chrétien, 1910), A. irrorata (Staudinger, 1870), A. lessini Buchner, 2017, A. ligusticella (Chrétien, 1908), A. multiplicella (Erschoff, 1877), A. quadripunctata (Wocke, 1857), Depressaria badiella (Hübner, 1796), D. daucella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), D. sordidatella Tengström, 1848, Exaeretia ledereri (Zeller, 1854) and Anchinia laureolella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854. 2 species are found with unclear taxonomic status: Agonopterix banatica Georgesco, 1965 and Agonopterix dumitrescui Georgesco, 1965. 3 species are formally excluded from the Romanian fauna: Agonopterix agyrella (Rebel, 1917), A. comitella (Lederer, 1855) and Depressaria halophilella (Chrétien, 1908). Additionally, 28 species are first records for different regions of the country and further 15 corrections are made to their distribution within Romania. The examined voucher material is concisely presented by each species, collecting data are presented in detail only in the case of the first records, and a few rarely recorded species, by which the adults, male and occasionally female genitalia are figured.
