    Abstract

    The identities of Doryphora orthogonella Staudinger, 1871 and Anacampsis azosterella Her -
    rich-Schäffer, 1854 are discussed and they are confirmed as belonging to the genera Stomopteryx Heinemann,
    1870 and Syncopacma Meyrick, 1925, respectively. Both species are redescribed based on types
    and additional new material. The adults and the male genitalia of both species are illustrated. A lectotype
    of Doryphora orthogonella is designated. Both species are new to the fauna of Ukraine, and Syncopacma
    azosterella is shown to be relatively widely distributed in southern parts of central and eastern Europe and
    in the Mediterranean.
