Abstract

In the current paper, we provide a complete list of 32 Nepticulidae species discovered in Armenia, along with photographic samples of detected leaf mines. For the first time, we include photographic documentation of the male genitalia structures of the Armenian Glaucolepis melanoptera (van Nieukerken & Puplesis) and the previously little-known, formerly Central Asian Stigmella klimeschi Puplesis and S. kuznetzovi Puplesis. Moreover, our molecular analyses have confirmed the occurrence of S. aceris (Frey) and Glaucolepis melanoptera in Armenia and justified the description of two species, Stigmella inopinoides Dobrynina, 2024 and Etainia caucasi Remeikis, 2024.
