Abstract

The genus Holcophora Staudinger, 1871, is revised. Three species are described as new: Holcophora hispanica Gastón & Vives sp. n. (Spain), Holcophora rostrella Bidzilya & Sattler, sp. n. (Mongolia, Turkmenistan) and Holcophora centralasiae Bidzilya & Karsholt, sp. n. (Afghanistan, Pakistan). The genera Epimesophleps Rebel, 1907, syn. n., Spermanthrax Meyrick, 1936, syn. n., are synonymized with Holcophora Staudinger, 1871. Aponaea (sic.!) pruinosella Chrétien, 1915, syn. n. and Spermanthrax pycnostoma Meyrick, 1936, syn. n. are synonymized with Holcophora obtusipalpis Walsingham, 1905. Three new combinations are proposed: Holcophora molitor (Walsingham, 1906), comb. n., Holcophora symmocella (Rebel, 1907), comb. n. and Holcophora aphiridias (Meyrick, 1925), comb. n. Holcophora inderskella (Caradja, 1920) is re-described, as the re-description by ADAMSKI & SATTLER (2019) refers to H. rostrella Bidzilya & Sattler, sp. n. The male and female genitalia of H. molitor and H. symmocella are described for the first time. H. obtusipalpis is recorded for the first time from Spain (Canary Islands) and Egypt, H. inderskella from Turkmenistan and Tadzhikistan, and H. molitor from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Iran.
