Abstract

A new species, Ceratoxanthis intermedia Tsvetkov, sp. n., is described from Dagestan (East Caucasus), based on a series of males. C. intermedia has no visible external differences from C. externana (Eversmann, 1844) and C. rakosyella Wieser & Huemer, 2000 and can be separated from these two species by details in the male genitalia structure. Illustrations of the male genitalia of the new species are provided as well as of four compared species: C. externana, C. rakosyella, C. saratovica Trematerra, 2010 and C. giansalottii Bassi, 2014.
