Derivatio nominis: Named in memory of the collector, Lutz Lehmann, who died during a collecting trip in Oman.

Diagnosis ( Fig. 12 ): Wingspan 10-13 mm; head brush whitish, above palpi pale yellowish; antennae light greybrown, scapus darker, with pecten; labial palpi short, light grey-brown, segments apically darker; thorax and tegulae shiny light yellowish brown; forewings with same coloration, without any pattern; hindwings shiny whitish.

Male genitalia ( Figs 43-44 ): Uncus with two lobes, each with two strongly sclerotised thorns, the basal thorns two times longer than the apical thorns; tegumen and vinculum forming a capsule, phallus fused with vinculum by a finger-like process, nearly pistol-shaped, obliquely truncated; valvae oval, basal edge, apodeme and first third of costal edge more strongly sclerotised, costal edge ending in a short pointed tip, ventral edge evenly narrower to apex.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 42 ): Anterior apophysae forked, ventral branch enlarged, with numerous fine spines, ostium oval, with strongly sclerotised edges.

Remarks: The shape of uncus lobes with the thorns and the shape of valvae with pointed costal tip are characteristic for this new species.
