Wingspan 27-30 mm. Antenna filiform, scape and basal segments with black scales; flagellum black; maxillary palpus visible, with white scales on tip. Labial palpus black, terminal segment white; base of proboscis with black scales; frons and vertex similarly black. Thorax dark grey with two pairs of black dots; tegulae dark grey with black scales at base. Costal half of forewing with black scales, basal half with an independent black dot placed below the borderline of darker costal and paler inner half of wing, black marginal dots (10) present; cilia grey. Hindwing dark grey with yellow base; costal brushes absent; cilia dark grey. Forelegs and midlegs black, hindlegs with yellow scales, tarsus with black scales. Abdomen yellow. Male genitalia (Fig. 13.): uncus developed, hood-like apically. Posterior part of gnathos dentate, mushroom-shaped, anterior part dentate, with broad base. Anellus scelotized, with two processes. Labis long, geniculate. Valva elongate, costal part well-developed, sclerotized. Cucullus with broad base and hooked appendix, covered with scattered bristles. Distal edge of sacculus characteristically pointed, basal fold sclerotised, medial fold curved, sclerotized. Vinculum V-shaped. Aedeagus gun-shaped, with pointed cornutus. Female genitalia (Figs 15, 16): ovipositor sclerotized; papillae anales conical, setose. Posterior apophyses thin, as long as papillae, anterior apophyses wedge-shaped, long and pointed. Antrum with sclerotized half-ring armed with strong thorns. Ductus bursae long, tubular. Corpus bursae rather big, spherical with small appendix; signum large, trilobate, covered with more or less uniform teeth. Diagnosis - The new species is most closely related to E. bipunctella (FABRICIUS, 1775) (Fig. 4) andE.pagiop

a SATTLER, 1967 (Fig. 5). In its external appearance, E. euphoria sp. n. is considerably larger than both related taxa (wingspan 27-30 mm, 18-28 mm, and 22-27 mm, respectively), the hindwings are darker grey, the base of proboscis is covered with black scales; and the frons and vertex are similarly black, while these parts are more whitish in the two allied taxa. The costal area of forewing is irrorated with black scales, being darker than in E. pagiopa, while the paler inner half of wing is darker than in E. bipunctella. The independent black dot below the borderline of darker costal and paler inner half of wing is very characteristic of E. euphoria sp. n., and has never been observed in E. bipunctella. This dot may appear sometimes in E. pagiopa, but is most often fused with dark upper part of wing. It should be noted that on a few occasions this dot may be joined with dark costal area by a thin neck. The male genitalia show a few but constant differences in the shape
