Abstract

Leafmines found on Genista berberidea Lange in northern Portugal led to the discovery of two new species: Phyllonorycter berberidella Nunes, Laštůvka & Laštůvka sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) and Achrysocharoides genistae Hansson sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). The moth is described based on specimens reared from the host plant, and the wasp from individuals that emerged from the moth larvae. Notes on the conservation status of the host plant at the type locality and a key to related Achrysocharoides species are presented.
