Abstract
In 2015 a paper describing new findings of micromoth species from the genera Goniodoma and Coleophora from some Balkan countries (Croatia, Montenegro, N. Macedonia and Bulgaria) was published (Richter & Pastorális). Among other findings, 11 moth species were identified as new for the Balkans and 13 moth species as new for Croatia. But three of these species, all from the genus Coleophora, were previously reported for Croatia and thus do not represent new findings, either for the Balkans or for Croatia.
The two supposedly newly identified species for the Balkans are Coleophora ahenella (Heinemann, 1877) and Coleophora gallipennella (Hübner, 1796). Both species were previously reported for the fauna of Croatia, so these findings do not represent new findings for the Balkans. Also the supposedly new species for the fauna of Croatia, Coleophora bilineella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855), was previously reported
for Croatia and therefore does not represent a new species for the fauna of Croatia.
