GEORGIA • 1♂; Samtskhe-Javakheti, Aspindza Mun., Vardzia; N41.3827°, E43.2895°, 1289 m a.s.l.; light trap; leg. L-G Japaridze; 14 June 2021; gen. prep. LG14 JLGT. Diagnosis. The male of the new species differs from those of other congeners by a very small saccus and elongated narrow valvae (Fig. 30). The species externally looks similar to the recently described Dyspess sudoli Saldaitis, Yakovlev, Dobrzanski, Kalashian, Müller, Prozorov 2025, but differs from it also with arms of transtilla, which are blunt in D. parvana sp. nov. (Fig. 30; cf. Saldaitis et al. 2025: figs 14–18, 21–22). Description. Male (Figs). Wingspan 25 mm. Antennae half the length of the forewing, bipectinate; rami short. Head, thorax, and abdomen covered with brown and grey piliform scales, thorax with whitish piliform scales. Forewing 11 mm, with light-brown and white pattern; costal margin narrow with lighter border, outer margin area white, broad white stroke in the middle of the wing and on the distal margin near the base. Hindwing short, covered with blackish scales, lighter at the base. Genitalia (Fig. 30–31). Uncus broad, triangular, apex sclerotised. Tegumen medium-sized. Gnathos weakly developed, with small arms. Arms of transtila blunt. Valvae straight, slightly concave basally; apex membranous, transition line between sclerotised and membranous part poorly visible. Saccus semicircular, very small. Aedeagus nearly size of valvae, slightly curved in median third. Female unknown. Etymology. The specific name “parvana ” stands for the Georgian word meaning “moth”. Habitat. Dry slopes with xerophytic vegetation, i.e., Allium L. Distribution. Type locality only (Fig. 43).
