Abstract

Agonopterix caucasiella sp.n. is described and compared with its closest relatives, A. ciliella (Stainton, 1849) and A. heracliana (Linnaeus, 1758). Adults and genitalia of these species are figured. The life history of A. caucasiella sp.n. in the Caucasus is described. Its larva feeds in the umbels of Heracleum mantegazzianum Sommier & Lévier Apiaceae) giant hogweed), an invasive weed in Europe, which is moreover toxic to human skin. The complicated and controversial nomenclature of the related A. heracliana (Linnaeus) (Phalaena (Tortrix)) is discussed, as is that of Depressaria heracliana (Linnaeus)ensu auctt. For the latter the name D. radiella (Goeze, 1783) is valid, whereas D. heraclei (Retzius, 1783) is shown to be invalid. A lectotype is designated for Pyralis applana Fabricius, 1777. Phalaena radiella Goeze, 1783 is fixed as the type-species of Depressaria Haworth, 1811.
