Abstract

The paper describes two new genera and four new species of gelechiid moths from the subfamily Gelechiinae. The new genus Namlika gen. nov. with the type species Namlika davidi sp. nov. as well as the two new species of the genus Trychembola Meyrick (T. remota sp. nov., T. latitans sp. nov.) were collected in Central Laos. By moth appearance and genitalia the genus Namlika gen. nov. could be related to the genus Palaearctic Psoricoptera Stainton. The new genus Sabaha gen. nov. with the type species Sabaha spathulata sp. nov. was collected in Malaysia, the appearance of the imago places it closer to the genus Namlika gen. nov.
