Pseudotelphusa Janse, 1958: 68.
Typespecies: Telphusa probata Meyrick, 1909, by original designation.
Sattleria Cãpuşe, 1968a: 19. Unnecessary replacement name for Pseudotelphusa Janse, 1958. Note: Pseudotelphusa Janse, 1958is not a junior homonym of PseudotelphusaMarschall, 1873, which is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Pseudothelphusa Saussure, 1857(Crustacea), and is therefore invalid and unavailable for purposes of homonymy. SattleriaCãpuşealso is a homonym of Sattleria Povolný, 1965( Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). Klaussattleria Cãpuşe, 1968b: 80. Unnecessary replacement name for SattleriaCãpuşe, 1968. Klaussatleria Cãpuşe, 1968b: 80. Misspelling of Klaussattleria Cãpuşe, 1968b.
Description.Imago (Fig. 60). Labial palpus with third segment slightly shorter than second. Clypeus with ventral margin rounded. Antenna longer than half forewing length. Ocellus present. Posterior area of sitophore with four campaniform sensilla in symmetrical trapezoid; anterior area with five, eight, or nine campaniform sensilla. Forewing (length/width ratio 4.3) with tufts of raised scales; M1, M2, and M3 separate, CuA1 and CuA2 present; median fascia transverse or directed from base of costa toward posterior margin. Hindwing (length/width ratio 3.9) with R5 and M1 connate, M2, M3, and CuA1 separate. Male abdomen with sternum VIII broadly subrectangular, slightly or deeply emarginate posteriorly; tergum VIII lingulate, with pair of anterolateral hair pencils. Male genitalia ( Fig. 31): uncus as long as length of tegumen, tapered apically; gnathos absent; valva with costal part developed, curved dorsad (outwards in slide preparations with vinculum rolled to one side); tegumen basal width/length ratio 1.0; vinculum with pair of processes; phallus slender, base slightly inflated, without cornuti. Female genitalia ( Fig. 41): apophyses posteriores about 3 xlength of apophyses anteriores; ductus bursae shorter than that in species of Carpatolechia; signum rhomboid with serrate margins, with transverse ridges, anterior ridge sinuous. Larva. Body with black or brown pinacula; head and prothoracic shield pale brown, prothoracic shield with median sulcus ( Bland 2002; Braun 1930). Pupa. Maxillary palpi touching or adjacent to genae; antennae adjacent to each other for about 3 xgreater distance than the length of visible ends of metathoracic legs; pronotum with the midline length at least 1/3 its greatest length; prothoracic legs separated from oculi; if body less than 6 mmin length, abdomen usually lacking setae ( Mosher 1916; Patoèka and Turcáni 2005).
Diagnosis. Pseudotelphusaspeciesare superficially similar to those of Carpatolechia. Males of Pseudotelphusaare distinguished by absence of a gnathos and an uncus that is as long as tegumen and tapered apically. Hosts. Berberidaceae: Berberis vulgarisL. ( P. tessella).

Diversity and distribution.The 14 species of Pseudotelphusaoccur in Europe, Asia, and eastern North America( Huemer and Karsholt 1999; Park 1992; Patoèka 1987; Sattler 1960, 1982). Additional species occur in southern Africa ( Janse 1958) and possibly in other regions of the world. CarpatolechiaCãpuş e
Carpatolechia Cãpuşe, 1964: 12.
Typespecies: Carpatolechia dumitrescui Cãpuşe, 1964, by original designation, a junior synonym of Tinea decorella Haworth, 1812.
Description.Imago (Fig. 61). Labial palpus with third segment shorter than second. Clypeus with ventral margin rounded. Antenna and forewing subequal in length. Ocellus present. Posterior area of sitophore with four campaniform sensilla posterior area in line except right sensillum off-set; anterior area with three or ten campaniform sensilla. Forewing (length/width ratio 3.8) with tufts of raised scales; R5, M1, M2 and M3 separate, CuA1 and CuA2 present ( Fig. 8); median fascia present or absent, if present, transverse or directed from base of costa toward posterior margin. Hindwing (length/width ratio 3.4) with R5 and M1 stalked, M2, M3, and CuA1 separate. Male abdominal tergum VIII short, lingulate, exceptionally bilobed, with pair of anterolateral hair pencils, some species with additional pair of posterolateral hair pencil, sternum VIII broad, distally rounded. Female abdominal segment VIII with posteriorly rounded lobes. Male genitalia: uncus well developed, elongate, with numerous, large setae laterally; gnathos reduced or absent; tegumen deeply emarginate anteriorly with broadly rounded lateral arms, basal width/length ratio 1.4; costal part of valva slender and digitate or reduced, saccular part of valva 1/2 to 3/4 length of costal part; phallus without cornuti. Female genitalia: apophyses posteriores about 3 xlength of abdominal segment VIII; ostium bursae surrounded by suboval sclerotization; antrum reduced; ductus and corpus bursae well developed; signum subhexagonal to rhomboid, with strongly serrate margins and two transverse ridges. Larva. Body light green, sometimes tinged with pink or red; head and prothoracic shield yellow, light brown, or black; pinacula black ( Emmet 2002). Pupa. Less than 6 mmin length; maxillary palpi touching or adjacent to genae; antennae adjacent to each other for about 3 xgreater distance than the length of visible ends of metathoracic legs; pronotum with the midline length at least 1/3 its greatest length; prothoracic legs separated from oculi; abdomen usually lacking setae ( Patoèka and Turcáni 2005).
Diagnosis. Carpatolechiaspeciesare superficially similar to those of Pseudotelphusa, Teleiodes,and Neotelphusa, but differ by the presence of a well-developed saccular part of the valva and a rounded uncus, which is tapered or notched in the other genera.

( Bradford and Sokoloff 1988; Disqué 1901, 1908; Emmet 1988; Forbes 1923; Huemer 1988; Kasy 1979; Kaitila 1996; Lhomme, [1946]; Sattler 1980, 1982; Robinson et al.2002). Lhomme ([1946]) also listed Abies albaMill. (Pinaceae)as one of several hosts of C. decorellain his catalogue of Lepidopteraof Franceand Belgium. However, this record is questionable because other polyphagous species in Teleiodiniare restricted to either coniferous or deciduous hosts, e.g., Exoteleiaand Coleotechnites. Thus, Carpatolechiais not included as a coniferous feeder.
Diversity and distribution.The sixteen species of Carpatolechiaoccur in Europe and Asia ( Huemer and Karsholt 1999; Huisman and Koster 2000; Park 2000a). An undescribed species from eastern Canadawas found in this study.
