We describe a new genus, Manitischeria Diškus Stonis, gen. nov., and five new species: Manitischeria selindica Stonis Diškus, sp. nov., M. namibiensis Stonis Diškus, sp. nov. from Africa, and M. brachiata Diškus Stonis, sp. nov., M. symbolica Diškus Stonis, sp. nov., and M. baryshnikovae Diškus Stonis, sp. nov. from South East Asia. We discuss the diagnostics of Manitischeria gen. nov. composed of these new species and others transferred from Tischeria Zeller. Species are mostly trophically associated with Malvaceae, but also Rhamnaceae and Betulaceae. We list 18 currently known species of Manitischeria gen. nov., including M. ptarmica (Meyrick), the type species, and provide 13 new combinations and the first documentation of genitalia of some, previously little-known species. New species are illustrated with photographs or drawings of the adults, genitalia, and the leaf mines when available. We briefly discuss the use of herbarium specimens to discover lepidopteran leaf mines, host plant, and distribution data.
我们描述了一个新属， Manitischeria Diškus Stonis，gen. nov.，和五个新种：Manitischeria selindica Stonis Diškus，sp. nov.，来自非洲的 Manitischeria namibiensis Stonis Diškus，sp. nov.，以及 Manitischeria brachiata Diškus Stonis，sp. nov.， Manitischeria symbolica Diškus Stonis，sp. nov.，和 Manitischeria baryshnikovae Diškus Stonis，sp. nov.，来自东南亚。我们讨论了由这些新种和从 Tischeria Zeller 转移来的其他种组成的 Manitischeria gen. nov.的诊断特征。这些种主要与锦葵科、鼠李科和桦木科具有营养联系。我们列出了 18 种目前已知的 Manitischeria gen. nov.，包括模式种 Manitischeria ptarmica (Meyrick)，并提供了 13 个新组合和一些以前鲜为人知的种的生殖器的首次记录。新种用成虫、生殖器和叶虫瘿的照片或绘图进行说明，如果有叶虫瘿的话。我们简要讨论了利用植物标本馆标本来发现鳞翅目叶虫瘿、寄主植物和分布数据。
