Among species recorded in India and Sri Lanka <i>N. assamensis</i> resembles <i>N. augantha</i> (Figs. 17, 18) and <i>N. seraphias</i> (Figs. 4, 5). From <i>N. augantha</i> it differs by the presence of the W-shaped light mark at the forewing base, the absence of silver-grey stripes in the basal third of the forewing and by the enlarged compound eyes in males.

Holotype ♁: Indonesia, Java, Cisarua (6 o 40′ S, 106 o 59′ E); labelled: 4 × 6 mm, print + blue ink ‘Gen.

Etymology. Named after Alexey Diakonoff (1907‒1989), a famous entomologist who substantially contributed to taxonomy of so-called ‘microlepidoptera’ (van Helsdingen & van Nieukerken 1989) and, in particular, described the species for which a replacement name is suggested.Published as part of Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2023, A replacement name for Nemophora divina Diakonoff, 1951 (Lepidoptera: Adelidae) a secondary junior homonym of Nemophora divina (Caradja, 1939), pp. 195-196 in Zootaxa 5231 (2) on pages 195-196, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5231.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/757542
Tortricites skalskii Kozlov 1988
No full textTortricites skalskii Kozlov, 1988 Excavation locality and depository: The specimen was described from the PIRAS, Moscow, but in a recent search was not found in the PIRAS collection (Prof. A. Rasnitsyn, pers. comm.). Holotype: PIN 964/659; PT: PIN 964/660)/ Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/ Lutetian, Middle Eocene. The re-assessment is based on the information and illustrations in Kozlov (1988) [original description in Russian]. Published illustrations: Kozlov 1988: 38, fig. 9 (drawing). Condition: The fossil (holotype) is in two fragments. Adult moth with head, partial body and wings. The forewing length is 6 mm. Comments: A drawing of the holotype is presented by Kozlov (1988), but some of the information given in the description comes from a fragment of the holotype not included in the drawing. Labial palpi are said to be short and tightly pressed to the head. The long haustellum is coiled into a spiral. The antennae extend beyond the middle of the forewings. The venation in the forewing and hindwing is complete and veins are separate beyond the discal cell. In the forewing, the vein that defines the distal end of the cell is rather narrow; and the bases of M 2, M 3, and CuA 1 are very close together. In the hindwings, Sc ends near the apex of the wing, and R extends to the apex; M 3 and CuA 1 are close together at the base. Based on the characters that can be observed, in particular the wing venation, the fossil most likely belongs to Tortricidae. The tribal assignment to Grapholitini (formerly Laspeyresiini) is also possible based on the short labial palpi appressed to the face, which are found in very few other tortricids.Published as part of Heikkilä, Maria, Brown, John W., Baixeras, Joaquin, Mey, Wolfram & Kozlov, Mikhail V., 2018, Re-examining the rare and the lost: a review of fossil Tortricidae (Lepidoptera), pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 4394 (1) on page 46, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4394.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/306609

Valvae fused basally up to 0.35 × total length; their internal margins indistinct; dorsal margin of valva almost straight; distal part of valva narrow; apex of valva pointed. Anellus 0.3 × length of valva. Transtilla with small triangular medial process. Juxta 0.45 × length of phallus; arrow head very narrow (WLR 0.2), without lateral arms; apex of juxta rounded. Phallus 1.0 × length of vinculum, straight; base of phallus narrowly funnel-shaped. Distribution (Fig. 9). Indonesia (Irian Jaya). Comments.

In male genitalia <i>N. turneri</i> differs from <i>N. panaeola</i> by rectangular shape of the basal half of valva (in lateral view) and hood-shaped tegumen.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named after Alfred Jefferis Turner (1861–1947), who was quite as distinguished as a paediatrician as he was as an entomologist – in appreciation of his great contribution to the development of lepidopterology in Australia: he described about 3,500 species, more than 450 genera and four families of Lepidoptera.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Male (Figs. 7, 17).
