Abstract

Dichrorampha pentheriana (Rebel, 1917), previously known only from the type locality in Montenegro, is reported from the Vitosha Mountains in Bulgaria, at an altitude of 2100 m. Data on the habitat and the suspected larval host plant (Achillea lingulata Waldst. & Kit., Asteraceae) are provided. A new species, Dichrorampha sakartvelana sp. n., is described from the Georgian Great Caucasus Mountains, at altitude 2280 m. Male and female moths and their genitalia are illustrated with photographs and line drawings.
