Nothris sulcella Staudinger, 1879

Records. Bodenheimer 1930a: 174.

Remarks. Bodenheimer (1930a: 174) recorded N. sulcella Staudinger, 1879 from Ben Schamen in April 1925, as the only Nothris species known from Palestine at that time. Ben Schamen is a suburb of present day Tel Aviv, and we presume that the specimen listed above from Tel Aviv under N. verbascella may represent Bodenheimer’s N. sulcella . Thereby we disagree with Karsholt & Šumpich (2015: 488, 493) who suggested that N. sulcella sensu Bodenheimer (1930a) may belong to N. skyvai Karsholt & Šumpich, 2015 . Both N. sulcella and N. skyvai are here removed from the list of Lepidoptera of Israel / Palestine until their presence can be confirmed.
