RESUMO
As already shown in previous papers (Arnscheid & Sobczyk 2020; Arnscheid et al., 2021 and Sobczyk & Arnscheid 2021) the genus Oiketicoides Heylaerts, 1881 is one of the most difficult assessable groups within the Psychidae as regards both taxonomy and bionomics. The previous articles dealt with the taxonomic relationship of the Oiketicoides species distributed in South-West Europe and North Africa. The present article treats the species of the Anatolian peninsula, the Near and Middle East and Central Asia. Sixteen species are listed and their diagnostic differences are presented. Five new species for science are described: Oiketicoides elegantis sp. nov., O. centralasiaticae sp. nov., O. hackeri sp. nov., O. defreinai sp. nov. and O. anatolica sp. nov. Ten species are removed from the genus Oiketicoides and are newly combined with Acanthopsyche Heylaerts, 1881. These are: Acanthopsyche orophila (Wehrli, 1928) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche grummi Heylaerts, 1887, stat. rev., Acanthopsyche demarcata (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche heptatomica (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche nigripilosa (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche squamopilosa (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche theodori (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche saurica (Solyanikov, 1996) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche leoi (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., Acanthopsyche staudingeri (Heylaerts, 1889) comb. nov. Canephora unicolorata (Kozhanshikov, 1956) comb. nov., syn. nov. is transferred from Oiketicoides to Canephora Hübner, 1822 and synonymized with Canephora hirsuta (Poda, 1761). In addition, the following synonymization acts are made: Amicta caucasica Bang-Haas, 1912 syn. nov. of Oiketicoides armena (Heylaerts, 1885), Amictoides borealis Kozhanshikov, 1956 syn. nov. of Oiketicoides armena (Heylaerts, 1885), Amictoides subgrisea Kozhanshikov, 1956 syn. nov. of Oiketicoides armena (Heylaerts, 1885).

In this paper the North African species of the genus Oiketicoides Heylaerts, 1881, are revised. In total there are 16 species of which Oiketicoides algeriensis sp. nov., Oiketicoides albomaculatus sp. nov., Oiketicoides pseudochottella sp. nov., Oiketicoides numidicum sp. nov., Oiketicoides maroccensis sp. nov., Oiketicoides maghrebensis sp. nov., Oiketicoides imazigheni sp. nov. and Oiketicoides atlanticum sp. nov. are described here as new for science. The subspecies described as Oiketicoides febretta lambessa (Heylaerts, 1889) is treated here as belonging to the species rank and a lectotype is formally fixed.

The genus Amicta Heylaerts, 1881 is revised on the basis of morphological and molecular studies. It is shown that, in addition to the already known taxa, there are three others that had previously remained unknown and are therefore described here as Amicta lutensis sp. nov., Amicta bouhedmaensis sp. nov. and Amicta chambiana sp. nov. Furthermore, the status of three more taxa is discussed and all three are raised to species rank: Amicta nigrescens Staudinger, 1900 stat. rev., Amicta acutella Krger, 1931 stat. rev. and Amicta arabica (Wiltshire, 1949) stat. rev. It has also been shown that the genus Hyalopteronia Solyanikov, 2002 syn. nov. is synonymous with Amicta Heylaerts, 1881. The type species Hyalopteronia davarica Solyanikov, 2002 is recombined and placed with Amicta: Amicta davarica (Solyanikov, 2002) comb. nov., and Amicta syrtana Krger, 1939 syn. nov. regarded as junior synonym of A. murina Krger 1939. The results of this study give an overview of the systematics and distribution of the genus Amicta (with the exception of the species from the Canary Islands).
