Nr. 1991), PARAGUAY, Dep. Alto Parana, Limoy, 24°45’ S, 54°27’ W, 11–15. i. 2017, U. Drechsel leg.; Paratypes, 3♂, 11♀, (ZISP, CUK) same data as holotype. DESCRIPTION. External characters. Head, thorax and tegulae with dark-brown scales. Labial palpi thin, straight, 1.5 times longer than eye diameter in length. Antennae thin, cross-striped, with alternating brown and white segments. Wingspan 13-15 mm (holotype 13 mm). Fore wings dark-brown with portions of yellowish-brown spots. Narrow transverse yellowish-brown band on first lobe distally. Brown spot of scales in front of cleft, similar spot in medium portion of wing. Anal angle of second lobe with distinct bundle of dark-brown hairs, second lobe apically acute. Fringe inside cleft mottled, with alternating light-grey and dark-brown hairs. Hind wings unicolorous, dark-brown. Fringe of third lobe along outer margin with dark-brown spots of hairs, third lobe apically with distinct triangular bundle of brown hairs. Male genitalia. Valves symmetric, noticeably narrowing distally. Beyond valve middle in front of its narrowing, thin smoothly curved hook-like spike. Tegumen simple, with notch on apex. Uncus triangular. Aedeagus arched, twice shorter than valve in length. Female genitalia. Papillae anales narrow, elongated, apically acute. Posterior apophyses straight. Anterior apophyses three times shorter than posterior apophyses. Lamina postvaginalis with two long longitudinal processes in center of sternum 8. Antrum short, tubulate. Lamina antevaginalis bag-like. Ductus bursae short, thin, membranous. Bursa copulatrix small, oval, poorly sclerotized, without signa. Diagnosis. In the external characters of the adult and in the male genital structure, the new species is similar to Michaelophorus dentiger (Meyrick, 1916), from which it differs in the distally narrowing valves and in the notch on the apex of the tegumen. In the female genitalia, in the narrow antrum and the longitudinal process on the lamina postvaginalis, it is similar to Michaelophorus indentatus (Meyrick, 1930), but clearly differs in the absence of signa in the bursa copulatrix, the shorter ductus and the bag-like lamina antevaginalis.

The article describes four species of plume moths from Argentine, new to science: Lioptilodes lauri sp. nov., Hellinsia katja sp. nov, Emmelina inna sp. nov., Adaina nina sp. nov. Stenoptilia tenuis (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) is given for Argentine for the first time.

Adaina nina Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich sp. nov. https://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: BC245E9D-7264-4FF9-9D79-6D34B5CA51BF (Figs 11 – 12a, b) Type material: Holotype, ♂ (IZBE, gen.pr. № 221005), ARGENTINA, Andes Mts., Siera de Famatina, Famatina vill., 15 km NNW, 27.i.2017, 28°46'S, 67°35'W, 2085 m, K. Nupponen, R. Haverinen & A. Pototski leg.; Paratype, 1 ♂, (CUK), same data as holotype. Description: External characters. Head, thorax and tegulae light-yellow. Labial palpi white, thin, straight. Antennae light-brown. Wingspan 12-13 mm (in holotype - 12.5 mm). Fore wings ocher-yellow, with sputtering of small brown scales. Small brown spot at cleft base. Three short longitudinal brown strokes on first lobe, along costal margin and apically. Brown stroke on inner margin of first lobe distally. Two short brown strokes on outer margin of second lobe distally. Fringe inside cleft yellowish-brown. Hind wings unicolorous, light-yellow. Hind legs pale-yellow. Male genitalia. Valves asymmetric, left significantly wider than right. Saccular process on left valve narrow, wavy, apically curved as ring. Sacculus on right valve with two small spikes. Anellus arms asymmetric, right arm slightly longer and wider than left. Saccus arched. Uncus narrow, thin, slightly curved. Aedeagus almost straight, twice shorter than right valve in length, with angle-like cornutus distally. Diagnosis. In the male genitalia, in the shape of the sacculus on the right valve, the cornutus in the aedeagus and the anellus arms, the new species is similar to Adaina invida (Meyrick, 1908) and Adaina jobimi Vargas, 2020, but differs in both species in the s accular process on the left valve, which is ring-likely curved distally. Flight period. January. Distribution. Argentina. Etymology. The new species is named after the school teacher of Biology of the first author, Nina Vasilyevna Solnyshkova (Novosibirsk, Russia), whose wonderful lessons and professionalism were the example for the first author of this article.

Collar at head light-brown. Labial palpi short, straight, almost twice smaller than longitudinal eye diameter. Antennae thin, light-yellow, alternating with small brownish scales, scape noticeably extended. Wingspan 18-21 mm (in holotype 19 mm). Fore wings yellowish-grey. Small elongated dark-brown spot along costal margin, above cleft. Brownish spot in front of cleft. Brown fringe inside cleft and along rear margin of wing. Hind wings unicolorous, of the same color as fore wings. Hind legs yellowish-grey. Male genitalia. Valves asymmetric. Saccular process on left valve sclerotized, arched at right angle, distally narrowing, apically acute. Saccular process on right valve shaped as wide fold, located in medium part. Apices of both valves bluntly rounded. Uncus simple, thin, slightly curved. Anellus arms asymmetric, left shorter and more narrow than right. Vinculum arched. Aedeagus thin, slightly curved, twice shorter than valve. Female genitalia. Papillae anales wide. Posterior apophyses almost straight, three times longer than anterior apophyses. Anterior apophyses short, thick, slightly narrowing apically. Antrum short, tubulate. Ductus bursae long, thin, membranous. Ductus seminalis slightly wider and shorter than ductus bursae. Bursa copulatrix long, narrow-oval, poorly sclerotized, without signa. Diagnosis. Externally, the new species remotely resembles Emmelina monodactyla (Linnaeus, 1758). In the male genitalia, in the curved saccular process on the left valve, the new species resembles Emmelina aethes (Walsingham, 1915), but in E. aethes this process is hook-like, while in the new species it is arched. The left valve in the new species is apically rounded, while in E. a ethes it has a robust crest-like process on apex. There is also difference in the anellus arms and aedeagus. Flight period.

Nupponen, R. Haverinen & A. Pototski leg. Description: External characters. Head, thorax and tegulae yellowish-brown. Labial palpi light-brown, thin, straight. Antennae yellowish-brown, scape noticeably thickened. Wingspan 14 mm. Fore wings pale yellow. Hardly visible sputtering of brown scales at cleft base. Fringe inside cleft brown. Hind wings unicolorous, light-brown. Hind legs pale-yellow. Male genitalia. Valves asymmetric, left valve slightly wider than right valve. Saccular process on left valve narrow, almost straight, apically sharp, hardly not reaching apex of valve. Right valve with two longitudinal folds, one long, in upper part of valve, the second short, in basal part. Anellus arms asymmetric, right arm slightly longer and more narrow than left, left arm apically extended. Saccus arched. Uncus narrow, thin, slightly curved. Aedeagus almost straight, slightly shorter than right valve in length, distally with sputtering of tiny spiky cornuti. Diagnosis. In the male genitalia, in the shape of the saccular process on the left valve, the new species is similar to Hellinsia joinville Gielis, 2016, but clearly differs in the cornuti in the aedeagus distally, in the totally different color of the wings and in the significantly smaller size.

Head, thorax and tegulae in white scales. Labial palpi light, directed forward, slightly expanded distally, 1.5 times longer than longitudinal eye diameter. Antennae yellowish-brown. Wingspan 15−18 mm, in holotype – 17 mm. Fore wings unicolorous, yellowish-brown, with slightly lightened rear edge. Hind wings unicolorous, of the same color as fore wings. Fringe on all wings light-brown. Hind legs pale-yellow. Male genitalia. Valves symmetric, slightly narrowing distally. Uncus wide from apex to base, noticeably narrowing distally. Anellus arms relatively wide, of equal length. Saccus triangle, apically narrowing. Aedeagus thin, long, equal to valve in length, strongly curved. Basal process of aedeagus located perpendicular. Female genitalia. Papillae anales narrow, oval. Posterior apophyses long, slightly thickened at apices. Anterior apophyses thin, short. Lamina vaginalis bilobed. Antrum sclerotized, shaped as narrow and long funnel, from base of which gradually narrowing and smoothly passing into short narrow wavy ductus. Bursa copulatrix large, oval.
