J. Entomol. Acarol. Res. Ser. II, 42 (1): 19-26 30 April 2010 P. TREMATERRA Lepidoptera Tortricidae from SE European Russia with description of Ceratoxanthis saratovica sp. n. Abstract - Faunistic data of some Lepidoptera Tortricidae collected in Southern  Russian territory are reported; moreover, the new species Ceratoxanthis saratovi- ca sp. n., from Saratov region is described. Externally C. saratovica resembles to  Ceratoxanthis argentomixtana (Staudinger, 1870); in the male genitalia is closed  to Ceratoxanthis iberica Baixeras, 1992. Riassunto - Lepidoptera Tortricide dalla Russia sud-orientale e descrizione di  Ceratoxanthis saratovica sp. n. Vengono riportati nuovi dati faunistici su alcuni lepidotteri tortricidi rinvenuti nei  territori della Russia meridinale, inoltre viene descritta Ceratoxanthis saratovica  sp. n. raccolta nella regione di Saratov. Per le caratteristiche morfologiche esterne la  nuova specie assomiglia a Ceratoxanthis argentomixtana (Staudinger, 1870); gli ap- parati genitali maschili sono simili a quelli di Ceratoxanthis iberica Baixeras, 1992. Key words: Lepidoptera Tortricidae, SE European Russia, Ceratoxanthis sarato- vica, new species. INTRODUCTION The paper reports few notes on tortricids recognized in material collected in SE  European Russia, during different expeditions to territories of Iuriuzan, E. Samara, Sara- tov, Volga region, and Volgograd, realized in 1998-1999 by Povilas Ivinskis, Vidmantas  Karalius and Jan Miatleuski (Vilnius, Lithuania). Moreover, is described Ceratoxanthis saratovica sp. n., externally the new species resembles to Ceratoxanthis argentomixtana (Staudinger, 1870), in male genitalia is similar to Ceratoxanthis iberica Baixeras, 1992  (Kuznetsov, 1989; Razowski, 2002 and 2003). Ceratoxanthis Razowski, 1960, is a West-Palaearctic genus known from Spain  and SE Europe, from Caucasus to N Syria and Kazakhstan. In the genus are reported 4  species: C. externana (Eversmann, 1844) from Russia (S. Ural) N Syria, Caucasus and  Turkmenia, C. argentomixtana from SE Russia (Volgograd, Sarepta, lower Volga, S.  Ural), C. iberica from Spain (Guadalaviar, Teruel) and Iran (Bäzargän, West Azarbäi- Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, Ser. II, 42 (1), 201020 jän), C. rakosyella Wies & Huemer, 2000, from Romania (Mangalia, Dobrogea), and C. adriatica Elsner & Jaros, 2003, from Montenegro (Buljarica) (Baixeras, 1992; Wieser &  Huemer, 2000; Elsner & Jaros, 2003; Brown, 2005; Alipanah, 2009; Razowski, 2009).  LIST OF TAXA LEPIDOPTERA TORTRICIDAE SUBFAMILY TORTRICINAE Tribe Tortricini Aleimma loeflingianum (Linnaeus, 1758) Material exaMined. 1 female, European p. of Russia, SE Saratov env., 28.06.1999,  Leg. Miatleuski J., Karalius V.
