Witt, München” / “ Coll. Dr. W. Thomas, Mus. Witt München” (Coll. MWM/ ZSM); paratype (Figs. 12, 20): ♂, “ China / Gansu, Xiahe, 3000–3300 m, 25– 29.VI.1986, Coll. Nr. 245, leg.

Diagnosis. Forewing length is 11–12 mm in males. Externally, the species is very similar to L. kozlovi, which belongs to another species-group, and differs only by its paler, dark brown wing coloration. The main differences between the two species are in their male genitalia: in L. goergneri, the uncus is much broader basally, the tegumen is significantly narrower, the distal processes of the valva are reduced, and the vesica is significantly shorter and narrower. The male genitalia of L. goergneri are very similar to those of L. y-albulum (which explains why it was originally described as a subspecies of L. y-albulum), but can be distinguished by the slightly narrower uncus, the juxta having an apical concavity (whereas in L. y-albulum the juxta is more or less rounded apically), the slightly narrower valva, and the much shorter and narrower vesica. Female is unknown. Distribution. China: Gansu (de Freina & Witt 1994) (Fig. 40).Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Saldaitis, Aidas & Višinskas, Vytautas, 2018, A brief review of the genus Lithosarctia, with the description of a new species from China (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae), pp. 561-574 in Zootaxa 4444 (5) on pages 572-573, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4444.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/143727

GP 4160 (fig. 38), 4161. Tegumen distinctly pointed, broadly folded laterally. When closed valvae not protruding the distal end of the tegumen. Valvae broad, clasper of the sacculus distally pointed with a long thorn and 4–5 short spines. Cucullus broad and short, directed downwardly. Vinculum triangular with two broad lobes laterally. Saccus short, broad. Phallus slightly bent, hammer-shaped, two-lobed distally with a ventral inversion.</p> <p>Female. Unknown. Larval case. Length 40–50 mm, width 10–12 mm. Covered longitudinally with twigs (Fig. 1c, d).</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Widespread and frequent from the central part of the Anatolian peninsula in Turkey eastwards to the Iraq border, through the Anatolian high mountains along the Black-Sea coast and the Caucasus region.</p> <p> <b>Discussion</b>. Originally described based on two males. The only specimen of <i>Amicta caucasica</i> Bang-Haas, 1912 in MfN is labelled as the lectotype by Dierl, but this designation act was never published. Herewith, we designate the only specimen of <i>Amicta caucasica</i>, preserved in the collection of MfN as the lectotype of this species. This species was transferred to <i>Oiketicoides</i> by de Freina (1983). He already mentioned the uniformity in phenotype and genitalia of the Turkish populations. Hence, he correctly proposed the synonymy of <i>O. subgrisea</i> with <i>O. caucasica</i>. Moreover, both taxa are completely similar to <i>O. armena</i>. Sobczyk (2011) treated them as separate species. At present extensive material from different localities in Turkey is available for our studies. The studied material brought us to the conclusion that all mentioned taxa are conspecific without any doubt. Regardless of this observed great similarity, Kozhanshikov (1956) described <i>A. borealis</i> from Dagestan (Russia) as a separate species. The only noted difference of <i>A. borealis</i> from <i>O. armena</i> is the smaller size of the specimens and minute differences in the male genitalia. Furthermore, while describing <i>A. boreali</i> s Kozhanshikov compared diagnostic characters with those of <i>O. lutea</i>. However, a fresh male specimen, collected in Dagestan and preserved in the collection of WRA clearly shows, that the mentioned differences fall within the natural range of intraspecific variation. There can be no doubt that <i>O. borealis</i> is a junior synonym of <i>O. armena</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Arnscheid, Wilfried R. & Sobczyk, Thomas, 2023, Taxonomic review of the Oiketicoides species (Lepidoptera: Psychidae: Oiketicinae Acanthopsychini) from Anatolia, the Middle East and Central Asia, pp. 373-394 in Zootaxa 5239 (3)</i> on pages 381-382, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5239.3.3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7634923">http://zenodo.org/record/7634923</a>
