Results of a faunistic study in Sardinia on three families of leaf miners (Microlepidoptera: Nepticulidae, Bucculatricidae and Gracillariidae) are presented. The study areas are located in the south-western and central-eastern parts of the island: the Linas-Oridda-Marganai Regional Park and the Golfo di Orosei and Gennargentu National Park. A total of 27 species are recorded, including 7 new for Sardinia and one (Trifurcula rosmarinella (Chr\étien, 1914) (Nepticulidae)) new for Italy. Besides, in the family Nepticulidae the study of two species is still in progress whereas a third one, T. montana La\št\°uvka Z., La\št\°uvka A. \& van Nieukerken, 2007, was recently described as new for science. In the faunistic list each species is accompanied by a short comment on distribution and biology. Because of the notable supply of data in these last years, the list of all the species known from Sardinia of these three families is reported together with their hostplants. Particular attention is reserved to the evergreen oak leaf miners and the sampling of the mines of these insects is suggested for monitoring ecological changes.

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.

Theclassification and nomenclature follow the Danish catalogue (Karsholt \&Stadel Nielsen, 1998) which is based on the European checklist (Karsholt \&Razowski (eds), 1996).Fourteen species are reported as new to the Danish fauna: 1) Stigmella sakhalinellaPuplesis, 1984. Many larvae were found mining leaves of Betula sp. in theisland of Falster in south-eastern Denmark; 2) Ectoedemia heringi (Toll, 1934).Three larvae were found mining leaves of Quercus sp. in the island of Bornholm;3) Phyllonorycter mespilella (H{\"u}bner, 1905). One specimen has been breedfrom a mine found on Pyrus sp. in the island of Lolland in southern Denmark;4) Coleophora parthenogenella Falck, 2010. This newly described species is foundin four districts in eastern Denmark and in two districts in southern Sweden.Only females are known; 5) Coleophora ballotella (Fischer v. R{\"o}slerstamm, 1839).Three specimens were taken in light traps in the south-eastern islands of M{\o}nand Bornholm; 6) Blastobasis lacticolella Rebel, 1940. Numerous specimens weretaken in two localities near Copenhagen; 7) Atremaea lonchoptera Staudinger,1871. One specimen was taken at light on the island of Lolland in southernDenmark; 8) Celypha woodiana (Barrett, 1882). Six specimens were collected atlight in the south-eastern islands of M{\o}n and Bornholm; 9) Ochromolopis ictella(H{\"u}bner, 1813). One specimen was collected at light in the island of Lollandin southern Denmark; 10) Platyptilia nemoralis Zeller, 1841. Two specimenswere collected at light in south-eastern Denmark in 1996 and 2003; 11) Marasmarchalunaedactyla (Haworth, 1811).

One specimen was collected in a light trap in Bornholm.We introduced a special list of species with uncertain status two years ago(Buhl et al., 2009: 67). This year one species is transferred to this list: Aethesrubiginana (Walsingham, 1903)(Tortricidae).Leucinodes orbonalis (Guen{\'e}e, 1854)(Pyralidae) is recorded as introduced toDenmark as larvae with aubergines from Thailand.Unusual host plants are listed for: Parornix scoticella (Stt.), Phyllonorycter oxyacanthae(Frey), Phyllonorycter sorbi (Frey) and Coleophora spinella (Schrk.).The total number of Danish Nepticulidae is now 88; Gracillariidae 87; Coleophoridae120; Blastobasidae 4; Gelechiidae 177; Tortricidae 384; Epermeniidae7; Pterophoridae 46 and Pyralidae 197; this results in a total of 1574 species ofMicrolepidoptera (families Micropterigidae-Pyralidae) found in Denmark.
