Abstract

Species Gelechia festa M. Omelko et N. Omelko, recently described from the mountainous region of the Champasak Province in southern Laos, is found on Sumatra, Indonesia, and on Mindanao, the Philippines. Specimens from Indonesia and the Philippines are identical in appearance and genital structure to those from Laos. Like in Laos, the specimens were collected in mountainous areas of the islands. A new species, Gelechia gunungleuserensis sp. nov., from the North Sumatra Province, is also mountainous and closely resembles G. festa and G. exigua M. Omelko et N. Omelko from central Laos in coloration and male genital structure. It differs from these species by a rounded apex of cucullus and apex part of aedeagus in form of a broad cone blade.
