Scrobipalpa nitentella (Fuchs, 1902)

Records. Amsel 1935b: 211; Bodenheimer 1937: 100.

Remarks. We did not examine material of this species from Israel, and we do not know the identity of the specimens referred to above by Amsel and Bodenheimer. At that time the genus Scrobipalpa was unrevised, and several species (some of them very similar to S. nitentella) have since been detected or described from the Mediterranean area and from the Middle East. We therefore consider the occurrence of S. nitentella as doubtful until it can be confirmed.
