Abstract

Four new species discovered in Spain are described: Agnoea (Agnoea) revillai Gastón & Vives, sp. n., Symmoca requenai Gastón & Vives, sp. n., Symmoca redondoi Gastón & Vives, sp. n. and Megacraspedus carolustertius Gastón & Vives, sp. n. A taxonomic change is introduced with Symmoca degregorioi Requena, 2007 which is a new synonymy of Symmoca nigromaculella Ragonot, 1875. Symmoca revoluta Gozmány, 1985 is cited for the first time for Spain. The species Mirificarma scissella (Chrétien, 1915) is also cited for the first time for Spain and Europe. Females of Agnoea (Agnoea) xanthosoma (Rebel, 1900) and Symmoca senora Gozmány, 1977 are described. Photographs of the adults and genitalia are present.
