New data on Turkish Pyraloidea: a new species of Hyperlais Marion, 1959 (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea: Crambidae: Glaphyriinae) and the first report of the little-known Polyochodes albidiscella (Amsel, 1954)

Abstract

In this study, Hyperlais cakiri sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the east of Türkiye. The new species is compared with the closely related species H. nemausalis (Duponchel, [1834]) and H. elbursalis (Amsel, 1961). Moreover, Polyochodes albidiscella (Amsel, 1954), previously known only from the type locality in Iran, is recorded as new to the Turkish fauna. Male adult and genital pictures of P. albidiscella as well as those of P. farsella (Amsel, 1951) are presented.
