Abstract

Faunistic and taxonomic information for some pyraloid species from Türkiye are presented. The survey gives new records of Dilacinia badialis Amsel, 1961 and Acteniopsis kurdistanella Amsel, 1959. A new species, Tephris yildizae sp. nov., is described and compared with T. fractilineella Chrétien, 1911. In addition, the female genitalia of Dilacinia badialis Amsel, 1961 are described for the first time. Images of all the mentioned species are presented.
