All available faunistic data are summarized and presented in detail. DNA barcodes of the mtCOI (cytochrome c oxidase I) gene of the majority of recorded species were studied. Molecular data and morphology support the following two species, which are described here as new to science: Caryocolum procurvella sp. nov. and C. atrumsp. nov. Caryocolum tetrameris (Meyrick, 1926) is recorded as a new species for Russia. Caryocolum blandella (Douglas, 1852) and C. viscariella(Stainton, 1855) are removed from the fauna of the Altai Republic due to misidentifications %K Lepidoptera %K Gelechiidae %K cytochrome c oxidase I %K DNA barcoding %K genetic distances %K taxonomy %K Altai Republic %K Khakassia %K southern Ural %K Mongolia %K Russia %K Palaearctic Region %U https://www.aemnp.eu/acta-entomologica/volume-60-1/1829/review-of-caryocolum-lepidoptera-gelechiidae-from-the-russian-altai-with-description-of-two-new-species.html
