Ptocheuusa paupella (Zeller, 1847)

Burannoe 30.VII.2000 (4 exx).

Distribution. C and S Europe to the Ural Mountains, more common in the south. Outside Europe in Turkey and India ( Elsner et al. 1999).

Remarks. This species is new to Russia. Ponomarenko (2008) lists Ptocheuusa sublutella Christoph, 1872 from the Volga-Don region. It was described from the vicinity of Volgograd (Sarepta), Russia. It is unclear if it is a synonym of P. paupella .
