Megacraspedus cerussatellus Rebel, 1930 View in CoL

Records. Amsel, 1935b: 210; Bodenheimer 1937: 102.

Remarks. Megacraspedus cerussatellus is only known from the type series from the Alibotusch Mountains in South Bulgaria ( Huemer & Karsholt 2018: 137–138). We were not able to examine specimens identified as cerussatellus from Israel, and we find it most likely that these were misidentified. It is highly unlikely that this species occurs in Israel, and it is herewith removed from the list of Israeli Gelechiidae .
