Adult male bagworm moths from Ukrainian and Baltic Eocene amber (Psychidae, Lepidoptera)

Psychid moths from Ukrainian and Baltic amber are described for the first time by male adults. Recognition was possible by their pectinate antennae and reduced mouthparts at first. In combination with further characters, affiliation with the subfamily Psychinae and the extant genus Proutia is established.

This affiliation is in accordance with the previous description of a bag belonging to this genus in Baltic amber; three new specimens of such bags with caterpillars are also reported here. Conclusions are drawn on the mode of life of the fossil species by comparison to the extant species.
