Summary:
An up-to-date reassessment of the Romanian
Meessiidae, Eriocottidae and Tineidae fauna is
presented. In the Romanian fauna a total of 7
Meessiidae species had been given, but only 6
species, all in
Eudarcia
Clemens, 1860, are currently accepted.
Eudarcia balcanicum
(Gaedike, 1988) is recorded in Romania for the first
time and a photograph of the adult male is provided
for the first time. The presence of
E. pagenstecherella
(Hübner, 1825) in Romania requires confirmation. The
Eriocottidae is represented by only one species.
From the total of 83 Tineidae species ever recorded,
76 are currently accepted for the Romanian fauna, 9
of them are the first records:
Nemapogon falstriella
(Haas, 1881),
Matratinea rufulicaput
Sziráki & Szőcs, 1990,
Tinea basifasciella
Ragonot, 1895,
Niditinea truncicolella
(Tengström, 1848),
Monopis jussii
Kaila, Mutanen, Huemer, Karsholt & Autto, 2020,
M. weaverella
(Scott, 1858),
M. neglecta
Šumpich & Liška, 2011,
Pelecystola fraudulentella
(Zeller, 1852) and
Wegneria panchalcella
(Staudinger, 1871). The presence of
Nemapogon quercicolella
(Zeller, 1852) needs confirmation. Two species,
Tenaga nigripunctella
(Haworth, 1828) and
Monopis christophi
Petersen, 1957, are deleted from the checklist in
this paper, five others were deleted earlier. Of the
three families treated a total of 29 additions and
other corrections are provided for the regional
distribution of the Romanian fauna. We recommend
that the information about the Meessiidae and
Tineidae in the latest Romanian checklist (Rákosy &
Goia 2021) is replaced by that in this publication.
