Ectoedemia (Zimmermannia) monemvasiae Van Nieukerken

Biology. Hostplants: not reared, most likely feeding on evergreen Quercus . Adults fly from 15 June to 22 September.

Distribution. Here recorded new for Crete.

Remarks. In the female genitalia of two specimens (EJvN3106, Tahir Geçidi and EJvN3121, Kirki), some small spines were noted in the ductus bursae, also the setae were not pectinate as in the original specimens. Since not many female genitalia have been thoroughly compared we are not certain whether this is due to variation, or that these represent another unknown species or may be the unknown female of E. vivesi .
