Abstract: Stenolechiodes pseudogemmellus gen. n., sp. n. from Central and South Europe and
Asia Minor is described and com-pared with externally similar and well known
Stenolechia gemmella (Linnaeus, 1758). Specifical generic characters are stated
and illustrated. Adults, wing venation and genitalia are described and
illustrated together with other related palaearctic genera Chorivalva Omel'ko,
1988, Parastenolechia Kanazawa, 1985 and Parachronistis Meyrick, 1925. The
subgenus Origo Omel'ko, 1988 is synonymized with Parastenolechia Kanazawa,
1985; a new combination, Parastenolechia nigrinotella (Zeller, 1847) is
proposed. Lectotype of Lita nigrovittella Duponchel, 1839 is designated.
