Gymnophora perpropinqua Mostovski & Mikhailovskaya, 2003

Material. Israel: 1♂ Nahal Oren [32°43'N 34°58'E], 22.xii.2002, A. Freidberg; 1♂ Zikhron Ya'akov [32°35'N 34°57'E], 1.iv.1998, A. Freidberg; 1♂ Ma'agan Mikha'el [32°33'N 34°55'E], 1–9.iii.2009, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap.

Remarks. The species demonstrates quite peculiar distribution. It was described from a good series of males and females collected in the Crimea with several specimens being caught much further north ( Mostovski & Mikhailovskaya, 2003). It is also known from Greece (pers. observ.) and Hungary (Lengyel pers. comm.). Now the species is recorded in Israel.
