Abstract

Taleporia henderickxi sp. n. is described from the south-western part of Crete (Greece) and compared with its likely close relatives Taleporia defoliella Constant, 1896 and Taleporia autumnella (Rebel, 1919). The new species is well characterized by its dark brownish grey coloured forewings, the less elongated wing shape, the fringe scales of the forewings and by the structures of the male genitalia.
