The rare Western European Argyresthia buvati (Gibeaux, 1993) is synonymised with A. impura (Staudinger, 1879) from Turkey. Single stray records of the species in the Netherlands and Belgium prompted this study. We describe and illustrate the genitalia and provide information on distribution and biology. The species is believed to feed on Juniperus species.
