Exaeretia terskeella Lvovsky, 2016 (Lepidoptera, Depressariidae), a littleknown species described from Kyrgyzstan: the first Exaeretia species with brachypterous female

In this paper, the previously unknown female of Exaeretia terskeella Lvovsky, 2016 is described from Kungey Ala-Too Range, part of northern Tien Shan in Kyrgyzstan. The female has reduced wings, making it the first documented case of brachyptery in the genus. Exaeretia terskeella is closely related to E. lvovskyi Buchner, Junnilainen & Nupponen, 2019, in which sexual dimorphism is not present.

Externally, E. terskeella is most similar to E. nebulosella (Caradja, 1920), the female of which is unknown. Photographs of adults and genitalia of both sexes of E. terskeella are provided. Exaeretia lvovskyi is recorded for the first time from Kyrgyzstan.
