Description
Genus Glyphipterix Hübner
Type species. Tinea bergstraesserella Fabricius, 1781, by subsequent designation by ICZN (1986).
Distribution. Subcosmopolitan, except for the Arctic and Antarctica (Heppner 1982, 1985; Arita 1983, 1985, 1987, 1995; Diakonoff 1986; Dugdale 1988; Mey 1991; Arita & Heppner 1992; Edwards 1996; Dugdale et al. 1999; Arita & Owada 2006; Liu & Li 2014; Sohn & Heppner 2015; Pohl & Nanz 2023).
Remarks. The world fauna includes more than 310 species belonging to the genus Glyphipterix Hübner (Heppner 1982, 1985; Arita 1979, 1983, 1985, 1995; Arita & Owada 2006; Liu & Li 2014; Sohn & Heppner 2015; Pohl & Nanz 2023) and only 21 species are recorded in Russia. Of these, 13 species inhabit the Far East (Ponomarenko 2016; Ponomarenko & Sinev 2024a). Processing of the dry specimens collected in the south of the Far East made it possible to identify the female of species Glyphipterix maritima Diakonoff, 1979, for which only the male was known until now (Diakonoff 1986), the female morphology is described below.
