Type locality: Sweden.

Adult ( Fig. 41 ): Wing expanse 20.0−22.0 mm. Forewing with CuA1 and CuA2 connate ( Fig. 90 ).

Material examined. 6 ♂♂, Buerjin County (47°41′ N, 86°59′ E), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 1114 m, 22−23.vii.2007, coll. Xinpu Wang et al.; 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, Habahe County (48°02′ N, 86°26′ E), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 1264 m, 27.vii.2007, coll. Xinpu Wang et al.

Host plant. Lonicera sp. ( Zagulajev 1989; Gershenson & Kozhevnikova 2013).

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Jiling, Xinjiang), Japan, Russia (Caucasus, Far East), Israel, Asia Minor, Europe, North America.

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the forewing having a broad yellowish white dorsal band. Ypsolopha dentella is similar to Y. varidentella sp. nov., but can be separated by the yellowish white head and thorax ( Fig. 41 ), the arched uncus and the longer phallus about 1.4 times length of the valva in the male genitalia ( Fig. 141 ), and the lamella postvaginalis composed of two sclerotized parallel bands in the female genitalia ( Fig. 186 ). In Y. varidentella sp. nov., the forewing has a grayish brown dorsal band, and the head and the thorax are gray or grayish brown ( Fig. 43 ), the uncus is triangular and the phallus is slightly longer than the valva in the male genitalia (143), and the lamella postvaginalis is V-shaped in the female genitalia ( Fig. 188 ).
