3.3. CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE OF THE NEPTICULIDAE OF OMAN, INDIA AND NEPAL Study of material collected from Oman and the Indian subcontinent yielded 34 species of Nepticulidae. Two of them are probably boreal (occuring in the high Himalaya) while others are tropical. Twelve species from the 34 recognized in total are described as new to science (Table 3). The discovery of such species as Stigmella hoplometalla and Acalyptris melanospila, occuring on the western slopes of the Himalaya but previously known only from Bombay suggests a much wider distribution of these species in the Indian subcontinent. Three closely related species (i. e., Acalyptris melanospila, A. auratilis and A. nigripexus), found in the same habitat of Himalayan tropical montane forest and characterized by a similar adult activity period are assumed to be of sympatric origin. It is interesting that the newly described Stigmella tenebrica from the high Himalaya morphologically resembles more the European S. sorbi, than the species of the same species-group occuring in the geographically closer territories of Central Asia.

RE-ASSESSMENT OF THE MANDSHURIAN FAUNA OF THE NEPTICULIDAE In total, 105 species of Nepticulidae are reviewed by the author in this thesis; 63 of them were recorded only from the eastern part of the Mandshurian region (Primorskiy Krai). One species – Stigmella auricularia – is described as new to science (Table 4, fig. 12). Fifteen species were recognized as distributed from Europe to the Mandshurian region: Stigmella betulicola, S. luteella, S. sakhalinella, S. aurora, S. anomalella, S. assimilella, S. salicis, S. obliquella, S. continuella, S. lediella, Bohemannia quadrimaculella, Ectoedemia intimella, E. preisseckeri, E. occultella and Fomoria weaveri; most of them are trophically associated with plants from Salicaceae (more rarely Rosaceae and Ericaceae).
