Fig. 44 View FIGS 39–46

Paltodora striatella magna Amsel, 1935 —Veröff. dt. Kol. Übersee-Mus. 1 (2): 265.

Records. Stainton 1867: 46 ( striatella ); Amsel 1935c: 265; Amsel 1936: pl. 15, fig. 28–31; Bodenheimer 1937: 101 ( Isophrictis striatella magna ); Povolný 1983: 142, figs 21, 22.

Material examined. Lectotype of Paltodora striatella magna ♂, Kirjat Anawim , Jerusalem, 28.iii.1930 (Amsel) (gen. slide Ams. 5444) ( SMNK) . Paralectotypes of magna , 4 ♂, 2 ♀, same data (gen. slide 58/08 ♂; 145/ 17♀, O. Bidzilya) ; 1 ♂, Ramalah , Jerusalem, 21.iv.1930 (gen. slide 147/17, O. Bidzilya) (Amsel) (all SMNK) .

Distribution. Israel; possibly also Greece (Crete) (Huemer & Karsholt 2017: 174).

Remarks. Paltodora striatella magna was described from a series of both sexes collected in the vicinity of Jerusalem. Based on study of type material, Povolný (1983) showed that magna is a separate species that differs from I. striatella , I. anthemidella ( Wocke, 1871) and some other species of Isophrictis . However, the status of magna is rather questionable as the genus is in need of revision.
