14BA14C8724F544A8B0CED2EACE5505A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is exteriorly similar to M. sistrata (Meyrick, 1916), and M. iriomotensis Robinson 1986, but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the row of cornuti on the vesica are broad on posteriorly and narrow on anteriorly (broad all over M. iriomotensis, and M. sistrata); the lamella antevaginalis is basally triangular (rounded in M. iriomotensis).	en	Park, Jinhyeong, Yagi, Sadahisa, Hirowatari, Toshiya (2025): First record of the genus Morophaga Herrich-Schäffer (Lepidoptera, Tineidae) from the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, with a new species.

741995B928825CE480FF0631C68264E7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species was found to be exteriorly similar to Morophaga choragella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), but it can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the anterior half of the basal 1 / 3 is brown in the forewing (only a small spot in M. choragella); the gently concaved uncus, ventral margin of valva is not divided and has tough bristles basally, and the phallus has two or three lobate carinae in the male genitalia. The genitalia are similar to those of M. fasciculata and M. plana, but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the shape of the valva is rectangular, without deep emargination in the male genitalia; the ostium is tighter and weakly concaved, and the ductus bursae is relatively short in the female genitalia.	en	Park, Jinhyeong, Yagi, Sadahisa, Hirowatari, Toshiya (2025): First record of the genus Morophaga Herrich-Schäffer (Lepidoptera, Tineidae) from the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, with a new species.
