Epiborkhausenites
''Epiborkhausenites'' is an extinct genus of moth in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://paleodb.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?a=checkTaxonInfo&taxon_no=134742&is_real_user=0 )〕 and containing a single species ''Epiborkhausenites obscurotrimaculatus''. The species is known only from Middle Eocene, Bartonian stage, Baltic amber deposits near the town of Palanga in Lithuania.〔
==History and classification==
''Epiborkhausenites obscurotrimaculatus'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype, specimen "No. 16,8 IGUW/AWS". It is a single, mostly complete female, preserved as a three-dimensional fossil in transparent yellow amber.〔 The amber specimen is from the fossiliferous Tyszkiewicz's Amber Mine which is located near the seaside town of Palanga. While the type description does not mention the geologic age of the amber, dating of the material based on the microfauna inclusions present gives a date of 37.7 mya.〔 The type specimen is currently preserved in the Palaeozoological Laboratory amber collections housed in the University of Warsaw, located in Warsaw, Poland. ''Epiborkhausenites '' was first studied by Andrzej W. Skalski of Czestochowa, Poland, with his 1973 type description being published in the journal ''Acta Palaeontologica Polonica''.〔 The generic name was coined by Skalski in reference to the similarity of the genus to the related genus ''Paraborkhausenites''. The explanation for the specific epithet ''obscurotrimaculatus'' refers the three dark spots that are visible on the fore-wings.〔
Visual comparison of ''E. obscurotrimaculatus'' to other fossil species from amber showed a close relationship with ''Paraborkhausenites innominatus'', ''Borkhausenites implicatella'' and ''B. incertella''. ''Paraborkhausenites'' can be distinguished from ''Epiborkhausenites'' by the vein structuring in the fore wings with ''Paraborkhausenites'' having r1, r2, and r3 veins which run parallel to each other. In ''Epiborkhausenites'' the spacing between the r1 and r2 is larger than the spacing between the r2 and r3.〔
Based on the observable external character of the wing venation, ''E. obscurotrimaculatus'' to the modern species ''Tubuliferola josephinae'', ''Hofmannophila pseudospretella'', ''Himmacia huachucella'', ''Psilocorsis quercicella'' and ''Inga sparsiciliella''. Skalski notes that the species ''Tubuliferola josephinae'' and ''Hofmannophila pseudospretella'' both have a very similar color patterning of spots on the fore wings as that seen on ''E. obscurotrimaculatus''.〔
