03C34C3FA33DFF9E0BC75C9ABD4A7E3F.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. The new species is very similar to the recently described also from Crimea Casignetella suaediphaga Budashkin, 2016 (Budashkin, 2016). Externally a new species well differs from C. suaediphaga by the presence ocher tones in the forewing. In the male genitalia C. spirobassiaphaga sp. n. unlike C. suaediphaga, has narrower transtilla branches, completely different phallotheca rods and, especially, has no cornuti. The female genitalia C. spirobassiaphaga sp. n. differ from those of C. suaediphaga in the thicker and longer apophyses posteriors, the much shorter sternum VIII (with rounded rather than straight lateral edges), the smaller ostium, the presence a cylindrical antrum, the presence of spinous patch and central bent of the ductus bursa and in much longer signa. CASE OF MATURE LARVA. Length 8 – 9 mm, broad, silky, tubular, trivalved, grey or, occasionally, grayish-brown, almost entirely covered with small seashell particles, longitudinal stripes poorly expressed; the mouth of the cap is at an angle of 25 – 45 degrees.	en	Budashkin, Yu.

03C34C3FA33DFF9E0BC75C9ABD4A7E3F.taxon	description	BIONOMY. C. spirobassiaphaga sp. n. is a univoltine species with adult flying during the late-summer period (August – early September). The larvae host plant of the new species is Spirobassia hirsuta (L.) Frietag & G. Kadereit. The larva feeds on the fruits of the host plant until September – November inclusive. A mature larva overwinters burrowing into soil. The habitats of the new species are seashell beaches of Sivash literally in a few meters from the edge of the water. There is no total plant cover in these very peculiar biotopes. The sparsely vegetation is represented by separately growing individuals of Spirobassia hirsuta, Suaeda prostrata (Pall.), S. acuminata (C. A. Mey) Moq., Salsola tragus L. and some other plants.	en	Budashkin, Yu. I.

03C34C3FA33FFF980BC75A4EBB807843.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. New species belongs to decoratella species group of the genus Casignetella, which also includes four other species: C. decoratella (Toll, 1959), comb. n. (Iran), C. afrosarda (Baldizzone et Kaltenbach, 1983), comb. n. (Spain, France, Sardinia, North Africa), C. kalidii (Falkovitsh, 1989), comb. n. (Turkmenistan) and C. immersa (Falkovitsh, 1989), comb. n. (Turkmenistan). New species differs from C. decoratella by the considerably smaller size and from other species of this group by the structure of the male genitalia. Unlike C. afrosarda, C. kalidii and C. immersa in the male genitalia of the new species the phallotheca rods fused all over and have completely different weapon of spike and tooth-like outgrowth. The new species has the narrowest among all three related species sacculus. In addition the new species differs from C. afrosarda and from C. kalidii by much more shorter cornutus. BIONOMY. Holotype was collected by netting over the vegetation in the evening in the saline marshes.	en	Budashkin, Yu. I.
