Some problematic taxa of Palaearctic Scythrididae were re-evaluated using a combination of morphological and genetical methods for determination. Three new species are described: Apostibes ustyurtensis Nupponen, sp. n. and Scythris praecox Nupponen, sp. n. from Kazakhstan, and S. kuldchuktaui Nupponen, sp. n. from Uzbekistan. Scythris rotundella Nupponen, 2010 is synonymized with S. cretacella Nupponen & Nupponen, 2000, syn. n., and S. parenthesella Bengtsson, 2002 with S. aciella Bengtsson, 1997, syn. n.
