Female genital organ (Fig. 6): atrial area calyciform, ductus first wide then constricted, bursa with a stelliform signum. Holotype male: "Biskra, Algeria, 21. IV. 1894, Eaton, Nr. 5805 + WALSINGHAM Collection + slide 14115 BM"; Paratype female: "Biskra, Algeria, 24. IV. 1895, Eaton Nr. 8354 +WALSINGHAM Collection + slide 14117 BM". The types are deposited in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London. Of its congeners, only P. albellus (AMSEL, 1959), of the Near East, has a somewhat similarly shaped sacculus, but the transtillae are quite different, the ostium of its female is infimdibuliform, the ductus evenly wide; though the female of P. pharaoh GOZMÁNY, 1963, bears a certain resemblance, its ostium is considerably narrower, and the structure of the male organ widely dissimilar. Tenieta evae sp. n. Alar expanse: 14 mm (female). Head, labial palpi, antennae, thorax, scapulae white. Forewing ivory with 3 yellow spots: first at l / 3 in cell, second smaller and beneath it in fold, diseocellular largest, all indistinctly delimited; cilia white. Hindwing and cilia white. Female genital organ (Fig. 4) : introitus wide, narrowing into a rather long tube, ductus roughly rugose, wide, constricted only above bursa, signum a flange-shaped, oblong plate. Holotype female: "Mauretania, Stgr. No. 583. 6. II. 1895, No. 6102 +WALSINGHAM Collection + Epidola albidella RBL. named by STGR. + slide 14162 BM", one Paratype female: "Médés, Algeria, 24. VII. 1893, Eaton, No. 4840 + WALSINGHAM Collection + Symmoca albidella RBL. named by DRNT. + slide 14169 BM". The types are deposited in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London. The new species differs from its sole known congener, albidella (REBEL, 1900), by the yellowish spots of its forewing and the longer, more widely opening ostiai area in its reproductive organ. I dedicate the new species to Mrs. EVE MARKUS, of great help and understanding in my taxonomic work. References: 1. GOZMÁNY, L. A.: Notes on the Generic Group Symmoca Hbn. (Lep. Gelechiidae) (Ann.
