Mesophleps ochracella (Turati, 1926) View in CoL

Nothris ochracella Turati, 1926 — Atti Soc. ital. Sci. nat. 65: 69, fig. 32.

Material examined. 1 ♀, 1 ♂, Nahal Oren , Mt. Carmel, light trap 24.vi.1997 (Pavlíček & Kravchenko) (gen. prep. 19648 and 19655, J. Šumpich) ; 1 ♀, ditto but 1.viii.1997 (gen. prep. 19654, J. Šumpich) (all NMPC) .

Distribution. Spain, South France, Malta, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Libya and perhaps Turkmenistan ( Li & Sattler 2012: 40), Israel (new record).

Remarks. The specimens from Israel are here tentatively referred to M. ochracella . They differ in small details from the photographs of this species by Li & Sattler (2012). We find it likely that M. ochracella includes cryptic diversity, which is beyond the scope of the present paper to revise.
