Abstract

Spiniphallellus chrysotosella sp. n. (Gelechiidae: Anomologini) is described. The species is recorded from Bulgaria, Georgia, and Turkey. All three localities of S. chrysotosella are rather similar dry rocky slopes where Jasminum fruticans L., 1753 (Oleaceae) is a dominant shrub. It is also expected to be the host plant of the new species.
