are given, the Romanian distribution is based on both the literature and examined material, and finally the data of the examined material are presented in detail. The first part of the series comprises the methods of study and the general description of the tribe (currently the subtribe Cochylina). The special section starts with the first two genera: Phtheochroa and Hysterophora with 12 species. Notably Phtheochroa unionana (Kennel, 1900) is known in Europe only from Romania (Kovács & Kovács 2002a). The second part treats 28 species belonging to the genera Cochylimorpha. Phalonidia and Gynnidomorpha. Three species, Cochylimorpha fucatana (Snellen, 1883), C. cultana (Lederer, 1855) and Gynnidomorpha luridana (Gregson, 1870) were recorded for the first time in the Romanian fauna (Kovács & Kovács 2005a). Cochylimorpha subwoliniana (Danilevsky, 1962) was recorded for the first time in Europe from Romania (Kovács & Kovács 1999: 194, 1999b: 66; Neumann 2000: 134), later from the southern Ural Mountains in Russia (Nupponen et al. 2001), and only recently from Hungary (Tokár 2015). The previously unknown female of Phalonidia acutana (Kennel, 1913) was figured and described for the first time (Kovács & Kovács 2002a, 2005a) and based on the same specimen was also figured by Razowski (2002: plate 49). Cochylimorpha fucosa (Razowski, 1970) was recorded from Romania in an earlier publication (Kovács et al. 1999). The third part discusses 14 species of the genera Agapeta, Ceratoxanthis, Fulvoclysia, Eugnosta, Commophila, Prochlidonia and Eupoecilia. The recently described Ceratoxanthis rakosyella Wieser & Huemer, 2000 is still known only from its type locality, the Hagieni forest and is thought to be an endemic of southern Dobrogea (Wieser & Huemer 2000; Kovács & Kovács 2007a). The fourth part presents the genus Aethes with 23 species (Kovács & Kovács 2007b). The first record of Aethes caucasica (Amsel, 1959) for the fauna of Romania with the description of the formerly unknown female were published previously (Kovács & Kovács 1996), similarly the first record of A. moribundana (Staudinger, 1859) (Kovács & Kovács 1997). The present part of the series, the fifth, treats the Cochylina genera Cryptocochylis. Pontoturania. Falseuncaria. Cochylis. Longicornutia. Diceratura. Brevicornutia. Cochylidia.Neocochylis. Cochylichroa and Thyraylia and the subtribe Euliina with the genus Eulia. Adopting the nomenclatural changes proposed by Brown et al. (2020) the genus Cryptocochylis. earlier treated in the Cochylis-gvovx^ of genera (e.g. Razowski 1970, 2002, 2009), was transferred to the Phtheochroa-^xm^ near Cochylimorpha. The sequence of the rest of the Cochylina genera listed, all belonging to the Cöc/zy/zÁ-group, is still unclear; provisionally we follow that proposed by Brown et al. (2020: 167, fig. 7). Additional nomenclatural changes are proposed: Longicornutia Razowski, 1960 stat. rev. and Longicornutia epilinana (Duponchel, 1842) comb, rev., the reason is given below. 22 species are treated in this part. Cochylisflaviciliana (Westwood, 1854) is recorded here for the first time for the Romanian fauna. Pontoturania defessana (Mann, 1861) and Neocochylis salebrana (Mann, 1862) (Kovács & Kovács 2002b) have been published previously as new records for the Romanian fauna. A few additions and corrections arose after the publication of the preceding parts of the series. Phtheochroa duponchelana (Duponchel, 1843), mentioned with its junior synonym P gloriosana Herrich-Schäffer, 1851 from Banat (Herrich- Schäffer 1851: 194; Razowski 1970: 76), was omitted by us (Kovács & Kovács 2002a) and added to the checklist afterwards by Rákosy & Goia (2007: 73). The Carpathian populations of a high montane species, initially recorded as P drenowskyi (Rebel, 1916) from the Bucegi Mountains (Karisch & Stánescu 2003; Karisch 2003) and later from the Bucegi and Făgăraș Mountains (Kovács & Kovács 2005b), were very recently found to represent a different, endemic species of the Southern Carpathians and were described as P carpatiana Kovács, Kovács, Zlatkov & Huemer, 2020 (Kovács et al. 2020). In a previous paper Zlatkov & Huemer (2017), examining Balcanic material, synonymized P drenowskyi (Rebel, 1916) with P schawerdae (Rebel, 1908), provisionally assuming that the Carpathian populations were of that species. Consequently, the newly described P carpatiana replaces P schawerdae (Rebel, 1908) (= P drenowskyi Rebel, 1916) in the Romanian fauna. Phtheochroa rugosana (Hübner, 1799) included in our study based only on literature data (Kovács & Kovács 2002a) was later deleted from the Romanian fauna by Rákosy et al. (2003: 347, 359). Fulvoclysia defectana (Lederer, 1870), a species with confirmed data only from the Caucasus Mountains, has been erroneously recorded from Amara (Caradja 1903: 364; Razowski 1970: 239), it was deleted from the Romanian checklist by Rákosy et al. (2003: 347, 360) and not included in our study (Kovács & Kovács 2007a). From Romania only Eugnosta hydrargyrana parreyssiana (Duponchel, 1843) has been recorded (Rothschild 1912:26; Caradja 1934: 190;Popescu- Gorj 1964: 63, 1984: 140; Kovács & Kovács 2007a: 37), but this subspecies recently has been raised to full species status by Nedoshivina (2007: 107). As two publications exist which mention E. hydrargyrana (Eversmann, 1842), one without the giving the name of the subspecies (Kovács et al. 2002: 56) and another referring to the Romanian data, but erroneously giving the nominate subspecies (Rákosy et al. 2003: 79, 273; 6
