Records. Bodenheimer 1930a: 173; Amsel 1933: 125; Amsel 1935c: 263; Bodenheimer 1937: 100; Halperin & Sauter 1992: 134 ( cf. plebejella ); Karsholt & Rütten 2005: 105.

Material examined. 3 ♀, Jerusalem , Palästina (Amsel), 8.iv.1930 (gen. prep. 2334, H. Hendriksen; slide No. AR0330, L.M. Rutten) ; 1 ♂, Kirjat , Anawim, Jerusalem, 2.v.1930 (gen. slide No. AR 0275, A.L.M. Rutten) ; 2 ♀, Jerusalem , 9.iv.1930 (Amsel) (gen. slide HH2334; AR0330) (all SMNK) ; 2 ♀, Jerusalem , 6.vi.2004 (Kravchenko) ( TAU) .

Host plant. Halperin & Sauter (op cit.—as “ Bryotropha cf. plebejella Z.”) recorded larvae feeding on twigs of Quercus ithaburensis Decne. and green twigs of Tamarix aphylla (L.) H. Karst. infested with Waxiella tamaricis . We consider these records as doubtful because larvae of Bryotropha species feed on mosses (Bryophyta) ( Karsholt & Rutten 2005: 85).

Distribution. Madeira and Canary Islands, South Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Syria, Israel ( Karsholt & Rutten 2005: 134).
