Abstract

Four new species of Filatima Busck, 1939 are described from Central Asia: Filatima armatasp. nov. (Iran), F. subarmatasp. nov. (Pakistan, Iran), F. afghanasp. nov. (Afghanistan), and F. kariisp. nov. (Tajikistan). The hitherto unknown female of Filatima multicornuta Bidzilya & Nupponen, 2018 is described. Recorded to occur for the first time are Filatima textorella (Chrétien, 1908) from North Macedonia and Turkey, F. pallipalpella (Snellen, 1884) from Kyrgyzstan, and Filatima zagulajevi Anikin & Piskunov, 1996 from Kazakhstan. Filatima fontisella Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 is removed from the list of Russian Gelechiidae due to re-identification of the only record as F. multicornuta. An annotated checklist of Palaearctic Filatima species is provided.
