90. Ectoedemia olvina Puplesis, 1984

Ectoedemia olvina Puplesis, 1984a: 119 , 120.

Host-plant. Acer mono Maxim.

Distribution. The Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray), Kuril Islands (Kunashir), Japan. Material examined. 23, Gornotayezhnoe, 24–30.vii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide nos AG 226, and AG 224; see Discussion (ZIN).

Discussion. We provide the first photographic documentation of the male genitalia of E. olvina based on nontype material ( Figs 49, 50 ). Although similar in to E. olvina , the male genitalia of the specimen 224 ( Figs 52–55 ) differ from other non-type specimens of E. olvina ( Figs. 49, 50 ) and the holotype ( Fig. 51 ), particularly in the short, strongly papillated apical process of the valva ( Fig. 52 ).

91. Ectoedemia ornatella Puplesis, 1984

Ectoedemia ornatella Puplesis, 1984a: 120 .

Host-plant. Unknown.

Distribution. The Russian Far East: Primorskiy Kray.

Material examined. 13, Gornotayezhnoe, 12.vii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 138 (ZIN); 13, ibid., 28.vii.1984, leg. S.V. Seksyaeva, gen. slide no. AG 171 (ZIN); 8 3, Andreevka env., 21–29.vii.1985, leg. S. V. Seksyaeva, gen. slide nos AG 271, 274, 281, 298, 334, 335, 338, 347 (ZIN).

Discussion. The genital capsule of the holotype of E. ornatella is partially disarticulated, with the gnathos turned anteriorly (see the preceding paper, Stonis & Rocienė 2013: figs 186, 187). Therefore, we provide additional photographic documentation of the male genitalia of the species based on non-type material from the new locality: Andreevka, Khasan District ( Figs 56–59 ) (new record).

92. Ectoedemia ivinskisi Puplesis, 1984 a

Ectoedemia ivinskisi Puplesis, 1984: 120 .

Host-plant. Unknown.

Distribution. The Russian Far East: Primorskiy Kray.

Material examined. 33, Gornotayezhnoe, 06.vii–08 –13.1982, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide nos AG 148, 208, 251 (ZIN); 63, ibid., 24.vii–24.viii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide nos AG 229, 236, 240, 246, 257, 265 (ZIN); 13, ibid., 13.vii.1985, leg. S. V. Seksyaeva, gen. slide no. AG 270 (ZIN); 223, Andreevka env., 21–29.vii.1985, leg. S. V. Seksyaeva, gen. slide nos AG 272, 288, 302, 321, 324, 328, 330, 340, 344, 353, 356, 359 (ZIN); 2 3, Kamenushka, 08–11.vii.1990, leg. P. Ya. Ustyuzhanin, gen. slide nos AG 144, 216 (ZIN).
