Journal: Acta Zoologica Lituanica
Year: 2011

Based on the material collected by the authors in the Crimea (Karadag Nature Reserve), Acalyptris platani (Müller-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 leaf-mines of A. platani are illustrated and provided together with a distribution map.
