Based on the material collected by the authors in the Crimea (Karadag Nature Reserve), Acalyptris platani (M\üller-Rutz, 1934) is recorded in Eastern Europe (Ukraine) for the first time. It represents the easternmost record of this Sub-mediterranean nepticulid species in Europe, once again confirming faunal links of southern Crimea with Mediterranean region. Adults, male and female genitalia, and leafmines of A. platani are illustrated and provided together with a distribution map.

Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) melanoptera sp. n. is described from southern Europe, where it is widespread. It is closely related to the Central Asian T. (Glaucolepis) raikhonae Puplesis, which is redescribed. Together they form the raikhonae species group. Sinopticula Yang is here synonymized with Glaucolepis Braun, its only species S. sinica Yang is tentatively regarded as closely related, if not conspecific with T. raikhonae. The distribution is mapped. On the basis of recent Chinese findings the larvae are assumed to be gall-makers on Prunus branches. Some phylogenetic and biogeographic remarks are given.

The nominal subgenus Trifurcula Zeller, 1848 is divided into two species groups: the subnitidella group and the pallidella group. The subnitidela group is described and comprises T. subnitidella (Duponchel, 1843), and eight new species: austriaca (from Austria), luteola (France), puplesisi (Soviet Union), coronillae (Spain), victoris (Spain), josefklimeschi (Italy, southern Europe), iberica (Spain) and silviae (France). Males of all species and females of six species are described and diagnosed, and for four species the larvae, mines and biology are described as well: they make mines in stems of herbaceous or shrubby Fabaceae (tribes Loteae, Coronilleae). The group is widespread in the western Palaearctic, but most species occur in Southwest Europe. T. subnitidella is recorded for the first time from 14 countries. The phylogeny of the group and subgenus are discussed, the pallidella group is considered to be its sistergroup. A lectotype for T. orientella Klimesch is designated.

Stigmella rolandi sp. n., belonging to the Stigmella sanguisorbae group, is described from southern Europe. It has previously been misidentified as S. spinosissimae Waters, a western European species. The species is characterized by a costal hair pencil on the male hindwing. The distribution is mapped, and the biology described: the larva feeds on Rosa and Sanguisorba.
