Distribution. Locally from S Europe: Russia (S Ural), the Volga region, S Ukraine, France, Spain, Hungary. Outside Europe from the Caucasus and Kazakhstan eastwards to NW China. Also reported from S Siberia ( Bidzilya 2002a).
Remarks. The genitalia of Trichembola neurophanes Meyrick, 1926 labelled “Uralsk AS. Russia c.. 25♂ gen. TYPE #8204 22.X 48 J.F.G.C.” (BMNH) were studied and were found to be identical with those of M. fallax Mann, 1867 (see also Clarke (1969: pl. 249, fig. 1a, 1b). Meyrick’s original description of the adult of T. neurophanes also fits exactly with the external appearance of M. fallax . Thus, we consider T. neurophanes Meyrick, 1926 to be a junior synonym of M. fallax Mann, 1867 . The habitus of the adult (Fig. 9) and male genitalia (Fig. 12) of M. fallax are illustrated, as well as the genitalia of the type specimen of T. neurophanes (Fig. 13). A single, freshly-emerged specimen observed in late September represents the second generation.
