(Korean name: yu-la-si-a-tong-na-bang)

Coleophora eurasiatica Baldizzone, 1989a: 13 . Type locality: China, Shanghai // [holotype (male) deposited in ZFMK]. Aporiptura eurasiatica ; Anikin & Falkovitsh 1997: 304; Anikin 2001: 249; Anikin 2019: 73.

Diagnosis. The species is externally similar to C. algeriensis Toll, 1952 , and C. nupponeni Tabell, 2018 with similar genital characters. However, it differs from the latter by the following characteristics: 1) the adult of C. eurasiatica (see Baldizzone 1989a: 14; Richter 2022) has brown forewings with a white costal streak extending from the base to the basal 3/4, while C. algeriensis (see Richter 2022) has brown forewings with a white costal streak extending from the base to the basal 9/10, and C. nupponeni (see Tabell et al. 2018: Fig. 2 ) has brownish-orange forewings with a white costal streak extending from the base to the basal 4/5; 2) in the male genitalia of C. eurasiatica (see Baldizzone 1989a: Figs 3 , 5 , 6 ), a latero-medially constricted stem of the tegumen, a slightly concave costa with ordinary slender setae, and a subtriangular sacculus terminating in a ventrally serrated triangular expansion are present, in C. algeriensis (see Baldizzone 1986a: Figs 9 , 10 ), male genitalia possess a weakly constricted stem of the tegumen, and in C. nupponeni (see Tabell et al. 2018: Fig. 14 ), male genitalia possess a weakly constricted stem of the tegumen, a basally bulged costa with a distinctly think seta, and a subtriangular sacculus terminating in a rounded expansion serrated ventrally; 3) in the female genitalia of C. eurasiatica (see Anikin 2001: Figs 1 , 2 ; Richter 2022), the apophyses posteriores 1.3–1.4× longer than the apophyses anteriores, the sterigma with elliptical sclerites, each extending from the base of the apophyses anteriores to the posterior margin of the sterigma, and the corpus bursae with a leaf-like signum featuring a compressed basal portion are present, in C. algeriensis (see Baldizzone 1986a: Figs 7 , 8 ), female genitalia possess the apophyses posteriores 2.1–2.4× longer than the apophyses anteriores, the sterigma with band-like sclerites having a jagged inner margin, each extending from the base of the apophyses anteriores to the posterior margin of the sterigma, and the corpus bursae with a thorn-like signum featuring a compressed basal plate, and in C. nupponeni (see Tabell et al. 2018: Fig. 17 ), female genitalia possess the apophyses posteriores 2.3× longer than the apophyses anteriores, the sterigma with band-like sclerites, similar to that of C. algeriensis , and the corpus bursae with a leaf-like signum featuring with an enlarged basal portion.

Adult: ( Baldizzone 1989a: wingspan 8.0–10.0 mm). See Baldizzone (1989a: Fig. 1 : head); Kim & Park (2009: Fig. 7 ); Park (2014: Pl. for adults, Fig. 9 ); Richter (2022).

Male genitalia: See Baldizzone (1989a: Figs 3 , 5 , 6 : paratype / gen. slide no. Bldz-6499; Fig. 7 : holotype / gen. slide no. Bldz-6882); Park & Baldizzone (1992: Figs 9, 9a : paratype / gen. slide no. Bldz-6499); Kim & Park (2009: Figs 34–34b: paratype / gen. slide no. Bldz-6499); Park (2014: Figs 9A–C ); Richter (2022).

Female genitalia: Anikin (2001: Figs 1 , 2 ); Richter (2022).

Larval case (leaf miner): Tubular leaf case. See Anikin (2001: Fig. 4 ).

Host plants. [ Amaranthaceae ] Bassia prostrata (L.) Beck (recorded as Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad.) ( Falkovitsh 2006).

Distribution. Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia (Southern European part, Southern Siberia), Mongolia, China, Korea ( Baldizzone et al. 2006; Kim & Park 2009; Park 2014; Anikin 2019).

Remarks. Baldizzone (1989a) described the species, including a male Korean specimen among the two paratypes.
