Introduction

The kindness of Lauri Kaila, Finnish Museum of Natural History, Helsinki, enabled me to study interesting material from Morocco, collected during recent years. The study prompted me to collate the records of the Tineoidea hitherto found in Morocco. The examined material, sent for determination to my predecessor G. Petersen and me in the past, is deposited in numerous collections (see abbreviations). The names of localities are written as they are on the labels.

[genitalia slide] Gaedike NR. 9716; Holotypus ♂, Anomalotinea tabelli sp. n., det. R. Gaedike 2019 (FMNH). Paratypes: 6 ♂♂, with same dates, three of them with slides NR. 9712, 9713, 9717 (FMNH; SDEI); 1 ♂, MOROCCO, El Hajeb Prov., El Hajeb 3,3 km WNW, 820 m, N 33.68944 W 5.40940, 17-V-2016, J. Tabell leg.; Gen.präp. [genitalia slide] Gaedike NR. 9711 (FMNH).

Description (figs 1-2): Wingspan 15-17mm; head brush dark yellow-brown, area from neck to insertion of antenna somewhat lighter; scape of antenna with same coloration, with pecten, flagellum ringed, nearly 2/4 of the length of forewing; palpus also yellowish-brown, lighter on inside, second segment with numerous long bristle-shaped scales; thorax and tegulae yellow-brown, forewing with same coloration, without any pattern; hindwing grey.

Variation: Some specimens with pale yellow coloration (see fig. 2).

Male genitalia (figs 3-4): Uncus with hook-shaped tip, characteristically for the genus; gnathos arms unusually broad, proximally forked, with two pointed tips; saccus broad, laterally with more strongly sclerotized hook-like edge (connection with tegumen), narrower to rounded tip; valva somewhat longer than gnathos, more or less parallel-sided, ventral edge straight, costal edge at 1/2 and costal and ventral angles proximally each with small blunt process, on inside near proximal edge with small bristled process, somewhat different sized on each valva; transtilla narrow, as long as valva; phallus as long as saccus, with row of minute more strongly sclerotized thorns. Valvae on ventral edge connected with a structure (juxta or anellus?).

Female genitalia: Unknown.

Diagnosis: Superficially not clearly distinguishable from other members of the genus, but the genitalia structure shows some distinct differences. The shape of gnathos arms and valvae, especially the very long transtilla are unique in the genus.

Etymology: Named in honour of the collector, Jukka Tabell.
