Antennae of representatives of most genera and subgenera of Nepticulidae have been examined in detail with SEM. Flagellar segments are highly uniform and possess each 1-3 S. trichodea, 1-3 long S. chaetica type I , 12 short S. chaetica type II and 0-2 S. coeloconica of a simpified type without \"picket fence\". The dominating structure is a pair of S . vesiculoclada, a unique sensillurn type, believed to be a synapomorphy for the Nepticulidae. A pair is present on all flagellomeres in male antennae but not on all flagellomeres of females in two subgenera of Ectoedemia. Principally each S. vesiculocladum is five-branched, with the branches joined tightly to the flagellar cuticle, but reduction of the branches occurs in several genera, in particular in Ectoedemia. This sensillum can be classified as a single-walled wp sensillum, and thus a chemoreceptor. The S. vesiculocladum is considered to be a homologue of the ascoid sensilla in the Opostegidae. The presence of these special setae is considered as an additional synapomorphy for both families. A review of previous literature on lepidopteran sensilla is presented and the present data are compared and discussed. In the Nepticulidae the S. vesiculocladum is assumed to be the major pheromone detector in contrast to the S. trichodea of most other Lepidoptera

Fourteen species of the leaf-mining genus Acalyptris Meyrick occurring in the USSR are reviewed. The species fall into two species groups. Acalyptris piculus sp. n., A. brevis sp. n. and A. egidijui sp. n. are described. A. turanicus (Pupl.) is synonymized with A. lvovskyi (Pupl.). A key to the species, short diagnoses and figures of all the Acalyptris species occurring in the Soviet Union are given.

Eight genera belonging to the nominal subfamily are recognised and redefined.

A phylogeny of the family in cladistic sense is presented and discussed. The monophyly of Ectoedemia is uncertain, and monophyly of the subgenus Fomoria could not be demonstrated.

The family ispoorly known from the desert regions in Northern Africa and the Middle East, but relativelywell known from Central Asian deserts (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia), thanks to thework of R. Puplesis and students (summarised in Puplesis, 1994). The family was previouslyhardly known from the Arabian Peninsula, except for four species, recently described fromnorthern Oman (Puplesis \& Di{\v s}kus, 2003). Here the family is recorded for the first time fromthe UAE, with seven species, two in Stigmella Schrank, 1802, and five in Acalyptris Meyrick,1921, of which one is described as new. Except for S. birgittae Gustafsson, 1985, thesespecies are also new for the Arabian Peninsula. Because some of the recorded species areactually rather common and widespread in the desert regions of North Africa and Asia, butvirtually unknown in the literature, several unpublished records and synonymies of thesespecies are presented here and they are redescribed. In this way the family Nepticulidae is notonly recorded for the first time from the UAE, but also from Libya, Sudan, Egypt, SaudiArabia and Pakistan.Stigmella omani Puplesis \& Di{\v s}kus, 2003, is synonymised with S. birgittae Gustafsson, 1985,S. ziziphivora Gustafsson, 1985, is synonymised with S. zizyphi Walsingham, 1911. The latterdoes not occur in the UAE, but is compared with the closely related S. birgittae. Nepticulaliochalca Meyrick, 1916, and N. homophaea Meyrick, 1918, are both synonymised withStigmella xystodes (Meyrick, 1916), all three described from India; this species is herereported new for many countries in the North-African-Asian warm eremic region.In Acalyptris, A. lvovskyi (Puplesis, 1984) is synonymised with the type species A.psammophricta Meyrick, 1921. Acalyptris gielisi is described as new; it is very close to theSouth African A. lanneivora (V{\'a}ri, 1955). From a fifth species of Acalyptris, only one femalehas been collected. It is described, but not named here.The seven recorded species probably only represent a small portion of the actual fauna, whichcould best be studied additionally by searching for stem- and leaf-mines on potentialhostplants. The genera Trifurcula Zeller, 1848, and Ectoedemia Busck, 1907, are also likelyto occur here.DNA sequences of several specimens were used in addition to morphological characters fordecisions on species identities, in particular for associating males and females. The results ofthe barcoding gene CO1 are discussed at the end of this chapter.}, keywords = {Acalyptris galinae, Acalyptris gielisi, Acalyptris psammophricta, Acalyptris repeteki, Faunistics, Insecta, Keys, Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae, New species, Stigmella birgittae, Stigmella xystodes, UAE}, url = {http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/364231}, author = {Erik J. van Nieukerken}, editor = {Harten, Antonius van} }
