Abstract
This article reports and comments on interesting Danish Microlepidoptera collected in 2007, and include remarkable findings from previous years. The classification and nomenclature follow the Danish catalogue (Karsholt & Stadel Nielsen, 1998), which is based on the European checklist (Karsholt & Razowski (eds.), 1996).
Two species are reported as new to the Danish fauna: 1) Coptotriche angusticollella (Duponchel,1843) (Tischeriidae). One specimen was taken on the Island Lolland in the south of Denmark in the month of October. It might be a specimen of a partial second generation. 2) Caloptilia hemidactylella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Gracillariidae). Two specimens have been taken at the west coast of Jutland in two different years.
The total number of Danish Tischeriidae is now 4 and of Gracillariidae 84; this results in a total of 1551 species of Microlepidoptera (families Micropterigidae-Pyralidae) found in Denmark. The total amount of Macrolepidoptera mentioned from Denmark is now 954, bringing the total number of Danish Lepidoptera to a total of 2505 species.
