Parafomoria fumanae sp. n. je popsána z jižní Francie. Nový druh je podobný Parafomoria ladaniphila (Mendes, 1910), ale podle morfologie kopulačních orgánů velmi blízký P. cistivora (Peyerimhoff, 1871) a P. helianthemella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1860). Liší se především některými znaky na samčích kopulačních orgánech (valva, tegumen, uncus, aedeagus). Housenka minuje lodyhu Fumana procumbens (Dunal) Gr. et Godr. Popisovaný druh je prvním zástupcem rodu Parafomoria, který se nevyvíjí v listech.

Parafomoria fumanae sp. n., a new stem miner on Fumana procumbens (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae)

Parafomoria fumanae sp. n. is described from southern France. The new species is similar to Parafomoria ladaniphila (Mendes, 1910), but very close to P. cistivora (Peyerimhoff, 1871) and P. helianthemella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1860) after its genital morphology. It differs especially by the characters on valvae, tegumen, uncus and aedeagus. Its larva is a stem miner of Fumana procumbens (Dunal) Gr. et Godr., the species is the first stem miner in the genus Parafomoria van Nieukerken, 1983.
