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.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B73FFB63A852CC5CA44818A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Specimens from Israel match both externally and genitally (Figs 1 – 4) Pseudosophronia exustellus (Nel 1998; Corley 2001). They also agree in all details with the female holotype of Sophronia catharurga collected in Akka, Israel (Clarke 1969: 376, pl. 188, figs 1 – 1 b). The female holotype of Sophronia parahumerella described from the vicinity of Tel Aviv is identical to P. exustellus too (Fig. 2). Hence, we propose the following synonymy: Sophronia catharurga Meyrick, 1923 and Sophronia parahumerella Amsel, 1935 syn. nov. of Pseudosophronia exustellus (Zeller, 1847).	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B73FFB53A85280FCB64840C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Sophronia sagittans was described from three specimens (male and female syntypes) collected by P. A. Buxton in Haifa in May. Our material agrees in all details with the photograph of the “ Type ” of S. sagittans in Clarke (1969: 376) who wrote that both male and female lack abdomen. Amsel (1933) listed the species as Sophronia karmeliella, without giving a description, and later (1935: 297) he stated that it belonged to S. sagittans. Here we provide the first description of the genitalia of both sexes. Male genitalia (Fig. 6). Uncus sub-rectangular, longer than broad, weakly rounded posteriorly; gnathos long, stout, sickle-shaped; tegumen elongated, anteromedial emargination extending to 1 / 3 its length; valva slender, strongly broadened distally, apex rounded, extending to half length of uncus; sacculus absent; juxta lobes projecting to 2 / 3 length of valva, dorsal surface densely covered with microspines in distal portion; saccus short, rectangular; phallus as long as tegumen and uncus, gradually broadened to mid length then narrowed distally, apex weakly broadened with three short rounded humps. Female genitalia (Fig. 7). Papillae anales sub-ovate; ovipositor long; apophyses posteriores very long and narrow, extending far beyond the bottom of corpus bursae; segment VIII three times as long as broad, evenly sclerotized, antrum subrectangular, half length of segment VIII, proximal 2 / 3 laterally sclerotized, with distinct transition to ductus bursae; ductus bursae narrow, gradually broadened towards rounded corpus bursae; signum narrow, straight, pointed, slightly less than half length of ductus bursae, basal plate prolonged.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B73FFB53A85280FCB64840C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Sophronia sagittans (Fig. 5) superficially resembles S. sicariellus (Zeller, 1839) but the white pattern in S. sagittans arises nearly from base rather than from middle of costal margin in S. sicariellus. The slender valva in combination with the spindle-shaped phallus distinguish S. sagittans from its congeners (valva of S. sicariellus is thicker, phallus of S. chilonella (Treitschke, 1833) is not narrowed on basal portion). The female genitalia are defined by the long and narrow signum and long, laterally sclerotized antrum.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B70FFB53A852C8DCC798328.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Tachyptila karmeliella was described from an unstated number of specimens (“ Karmel, 7.5., Ain Karim, 18. 5, ex l. Crataegus ”) from Ain Karim, Jerusalem and Karmel mountain near Haifa. A holotype was not selected in the original description and the five specimens in SMNK laballed as “ Typus ” and “ Paratypus ” should be considered as syntypes. Here we provide the first description of the genitalia of both sexes. Male genitalia (Fig. 10). Uncus subovate, posterior margin strongly sclerotized, covered with long setae; gnathos broad, hook-shaped; tegumen moderately broad, with short anteromedial emargination; valva nearly straight, weakly narrowed at base, apex rounded extending to the top of uncus; posterior margin of vinculum with triangular projections that extend nearly to 2 / 3 length of valva; saccus long, narrow, triangular; phallus stout, weakly curved, equalling combined length of sacculus and valva, apex weakly pointed, caecum weakly swollen, half length of phallus. Female genitalia (Fig. 11). Papillae anales broad, subtriangular; segment VIII broader than long, weakly sclerotized along anterior margin and at the base of apophyses anteriores, anterior margin straight, ostium small, funnelshaped, posterior projection large, subrectangular, 2.5 times as long as broad, rounded posteriorly, about ¼ width of segment VIII, extending the posterior margin of segment VIII; apophyses posteriores slightly longer than apophyses anteriores; ductus bursae narrow, as long as the apophyses anteriores; corpus bursae subovate, longer than ductus bursae, densely covered with short spines; signum a narrow, weakly sclerotized plate, anterior margin gradually broadened, posterior margin straight, covered with triangular teeth.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B70FFB53A852C8DCC798328.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Anacampsis karmeliella resembles externally (Figs 8 – 9) A. obscurella (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) but the forewing is more unicolorous, and the black subapical fascia is narrow and less distinct. The weakly curved phallus in combination with the long and narrow valva are characteristic for the male genitalia. The female genitalia resembles those of A. obscurella, but differ in the longer posterior projection and shorter ductus bursae. Anacampsis malella Amsel, 1959 from Iraq is externally similar to A. karmeliella, but differs in details of the male genitalia, especially by having a distinctly longer phallus.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B76FFB33A852E31CEC982FD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Gelechia tesserapunctella was described from an unstated number of specimens collected 9. v. 1930 in Waldheim near Haifa. A holotype was not selected in the original description. We examined a single male in SMNK (see label above) which should be considered as a syntype (Fig. 12). This specimen bears a label “ GU. 710 ”, but the abdomen is intact. Here we provide the first description of the genitalia of both sexes. Male genitalia (Fig. 13). Uncus elongate, lateral folds densely covered with long hair-like setae extending anteriorly to middle of tegumen; gnathos narrow, ring-shaped; tegumen subovate; valva gradually curved, broadest in the middle, apex rounded, extending to mid-length of the uncus; vinculum with a pair of rounded lobes surrounding the phallus; phallus swollen in basal third, distal portion narrow, straight, pointed apically, ventral process of even width, stout, separated from the phallus by a wide gap, broader than distal half of the phallus, apex with pointed hook. Female genitalia (Fig. 14). Papillae anales elongated, subtriangular; apophyses posteriores three times as long as the length of apophyses anteriores, extending anteriorly to the entrance of ductus bursae; segment VIII as long as broad, evenly sclerotized, antrum funnel-shaped, posterior margin with V-shaped emargination; apophyses anteriores subequal in length with segment VIII; ductus bursae moderately broad, of even width; bursae copulatrix slightly shorter than ductus bursae, elongated, with a pair of narrow, weakly curved, pointed apically hook-shaped signa extending to middle of corpus bursae. Remarks. Stomopteryx tesserapunctella slightly resembles externally S. nugatricella Rebel, 1893 but it has broader forewings, with darker light brown, but less distinct markings, the labial palpi are grey rather than white and antennae are light brown (blackish grey in S. nugatricella). A stout ventral process of equal width is the most characteristic feature of male genitalia for separating S. tesserapunctella from other Stomopteryx species. Two long hook-shaped signa in combination with the funnel-shaped antrum are characteristic for the female genitalia.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B75FFB13A852BF3CEBE86CC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Stomopteryx lacteolella can easily be recognized externally by its light, yellowish brown forewing with a brown dot in the cell corner and dark brown apex. The male genitalia are rather similar to those of S. deter- sella (Zeller, 1847), but S. lacteolella has broader valvae bulging anteriorly whereas they are boomerang-shaped in S. detersella. Vinculum surrounding phallus has a triangular sclerotization in S. detersella but it is straight thornshaped in S. lacteolella. Moreover, the phallus is more robust, with shorter ventral process and larger sclerotized apical hook in S. lacteolella.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B75FFB13A852BF3CEBE86CC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Stomopteryx lacteolella was described from one specimen from Benghazi (“ Berca ”) in Libya. Turati (1924: 166) wrote (here translated from Italian): ” Of this species recently described by Dumont was collected only one exemplar ... ”. However, no description of a lacteolella Dumont seems to exist, and the name should therefore by ascribed to Turati. Moreover he was of the opinion that his specimen was a form of (the undescribed) S. lacteolella Dumont. As Turati had only one specimen the name unipunctella becomes an objective synonym of S. lacteolella. This species seems to be known only from the holotype. It has not been been dealt with in the literature since its description, apart from a few catalogues and websites. The specimen from Israel (Fig. 15) matches the colour figure of the holotype well. Here we describe the male genitalia for the first time. Male genitalia (Fig. 16). Uncus subtriangular, slightly longer than broad, lateral folds densely covered with long hair-like setae, extending anteriorly to middle of tegumen; gnathos narrow, ring-shaped; tegumen narrow, parallel-sided to 2 / 3 length, then weakly narrowed, with indistinct transition to uncus; valva narrow at base, ventral margin distinctly broadened in middle, apex rounded, extending nearly to mid length of the uncus; vinculum with a pair of rounded lobes surrounding the phallus; phallus swollen in basal third, distal portion narrow, weakly curved, pointed apically, ventral process stout, separated from the phallus by wide gap, subtriangular, strongly narrowed towards distinct apical hook.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B6BFFAE3A852E1DCE93801B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Schützeia languidella was described based on three males collected in the vicinity of Tel Aviv. We traced two specimens from type series in SMNK, which are considered as syntypes. The species is closely related to A. anthyllidella in the male genitalia, but adult differs by distinct nearly connected white tornal and costal spot at the basal ¾ on the forewing (Fig. 39). Aproaerema languidella looks very similar externally to the next species (Figs 17, 18) too, except for more diffuse subapical fascia. Moreover, three males collected sympatrically with syntypes of A. languidella are identical externally to A. telaviviella. Hence, both species are most likely conspecific.

4C4D87822B6BFFAF3A852887CE168450.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Anacampsis telaviviella was described from an unstated number of specimens collected 19. v. 1930 in Tel-Aviv (“ Tel-Aviv, Düne ”). A holotype was not selected in the original description, and two specimens in SMNK should be considered as syntypes. There are three additional males in SMNK collected sympatrically with syntypes of A. languidella 25. v. 1932, of which one (Fig. 17) looks similar to the one of syntype (Fig. 18) and also bears a type label, but it does not belong to the type series. The genitalia slide of the female syntype is uninformative, because the antrum is not visible and both ductus bursae and corpus bursae are missing. The male genitalia of a specimen externally similar to A. telaviviella (Fig. 19), but collected 25. v. 1932, look indistinguishable from those of A. anthyllidella and A. languidella. The status of this and the previous species remains unclear and can hardly be clarified without studying morphology and DNA of additional material.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B62FFA73A852983CD4B82DB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Gelechia lamprostoma was described from a single male from Sicily. Later it was moved to the genus Anacampsis by Wocke (1871), and the species was placed in the genus Onebala Walker, 1864 (Meyrick 1925: 138). Although Hodges (1986) had transferred the closely related Gelechia zulu Walsingham, 1881 to Helcystogramma, Old World lepidopterists (e. g. Karsholt & Riedl 1996: 120; Ponomarenko 2009: 283) listed lamprostoma in Dichomeris Hübner, 1818. The genitalia of O. lamrostoma match the genus Helcystogramma Zeller, 1877 and the species was placed in the latter genus in recent papers (Agassiz & Bidzilya 2016; Karsholt & Huemer 2017), but without any accompanying remarks.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B61FFA43A852CC0CCFF8355.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hypsolophus ballotellus was described from an unstated number of specimens (“ 24. 4, 14. 5, ex l. Ballota sp. ”) from Ain Karim, Jerusalem. A holotype was not selected in the original description, and three specimens in SMNK should be considered as syntypes. Our study of the male genitalia of this species (Fig. 23) shows that it matches in all details to those of the genus Acompsia Hübner, [1825], subgenus Telephila Meyrick, 1923. Hence, the following new combination is proposed: Acompsia (Telephila) ballotellus (Amsel, 1935) comb. nov. Subgenus Telephila comprises two species — A. (T.) schmidtiellus (Heyden, 1848) and A. (T.) syriaca Huemer & Karsholt, 2002. Acompsia ballotellus differs from both these in the darker forewing with more extensive black pattern especially along the wing apex (Fig. 22). In A. ballotellus the apex of the forewing is moreover more acute, and the hindwings are darker than in A. syriaca. The male genitalia mostly resemble those of A. schmidtiellus, but the valva is narrower and the sclerite in the phallus is absent (Fig. 23). Acompsia syriaca, which is also without a sclerite in the more slender phallus, moreover differs by the longer arms of the vinculum and the different shape of the uncus (for comparison see Huemer & Karsholt (2002: figs 40, 57 )). Acompsia ballotellus is a little known species, and apart from Bodenheimer (1937: 101) it has to our knowledge not been mentioned in the literature since its description. There are a few references to it (as “ Brachmia bellotella ”) on the internet starting with Robinson et al. (2010 – 2018), but the species has apparently not been formally transferred to the genus Brachmia Hübner, 1825. Hypsolophus Illiger, 1801 is an emendation of Ypsolopha Latreille, 1796, the type genus of the family Ypsolophidae, and the placement of ballotellus in Hypsolophus may be the reason why the species was overlooked by authors of Gelechiidae literature.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

The description dealt only with the leaf mine, although it is apparent from the text that some moths emerged (“ Die Puppenruhe dauerte etwa 8 bis 10 Tage ” [= the pupation rest lasted about eight to ten days]). The description by Amsel & Hering (1931) is nomenclatorially invalid according to ICZN (1999: article 13.6.2), stating: “ A name proposed after 1930 which is based on the work of an extant animal is excluded from zoological nomenclature [Art. 1.3.6] ”. Chrysophora halymella was later made nomenclatorially available by Amsel (1935 a: 302). According to the original description, an unstated number of specimens were bred from Atriplex halymus L. in Georgskloster 21. iv. The single female in SMNK labelled as “ type ” should be considered as a syntype.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B65FFA03A852F93CDAC834E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Metanarsia amseli was described from two females collected in South Iran (Bidzilya 2008). The males from Israel are identical externally to types of M. amseli, but the black pattern is more distinct (Fig. 28). Bidzilya (2005) considered that Metanarsia Staudinger, 1871 can be separated from Chrysoesthia Hübner, 1825 by the absence of the signum in the corpus bursae of the female genitalia. However, Karsholt & Vives Moreno (2014) noted that the absence of pecten on antennal scape and short labial palpus in Chrysoesthia are more reliable characters for separating this genus from Metanarsia. Based on this suggestion we transfer M. amseli to Chrysoesthia: Chrysoesthia amseli (Bidzilya, 2008) comb. nov. Below we provide the first description of the male genitalia of this species. Male genitalia (Fig. 29). Uncus rounded; gnathos narrow, elongated, membranous, with rounded apex; tegumen trapezoidal, anterior margin straight; valva broad at base, distal portion straight, apex weakly broadened, rounded, extending to about half length of uncus; basal part of sacculus broad, sub-rectangular, inner margin with two or three denticles, posteromedial corner rounded, distal half narrow, digitate, straight, extending to ¾ length of valva; saccus stout, broad at base, then narrowed towards truncate apex; phallus as long as valva, weakly constricted in middle, distal ¾ narrowed, apex weakly pointed. Remarks. The male genitalia are most similar to those of Ch. hispanica Karsholt & Vives, 2014 but differ in sub-triangular rather than horseshoe shaped saccus and apically less narrowed phallus. The two species are externally different.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B64FFA13A852CA1CFB381DC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Polyhymno abaiella was described based on a series of specimens collected in South Iran. The species is similar externally to P. chionarcha except for brown pattern along costal margin which are reduced in most specimens from the type series. The specimens with fully or partially reduced brown irroration along the costa occur both among type specimens of P. abaiella and P. chionarcha from Africa, thus this character is rather variable. The genitalia of both sexes of P. abailella fully agree with those of P. chionarca studied by us from South Africa, Kenya and Saudia Arabia. Hence, we consider Polyhymno abaiella Amsel, 1974 syn. nov. of P. chionarcha Meyrick, 1913.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B64FF9E3A8529FDCB1285B3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Stigmatoptera Hartig, 1936 was established as monotypic for the new species S. dumonti collected in South Tunisia. Stigmatoptera dumonti agrees both externally (Fig. 25) and in the male genitalia (Fig. 26) with species of the genus Polyhymno Chambers, 1874. Hence, we synonymize Stigmatoptera with the latter here: Stigmatoptera Hartig, 1936 syn. nov. of Polyhymno Chambers, 1874. Here we describe the male genitalia of S. dumonti for the first time. Male genitalia. Uncus parallel-sided, twice as long as broad, posterior corners rounded; gnathos hook weakly curved, extending anteriorly to about 1 / 3 of tegumen; tegumen trapezoidal, weakly narrowed posteriorly, anterior margin with short rounded medial emargination; valva slightly shorter than tegumen, broad at base, distal portion straight, narrow, with strongly sclerotized ventral margin, apex rounded; sacculus short, hump-shaped; saccus about ¾ length of valva, gradually narrowed apically, constricted after half length, apex rounded; phallus strongly swollen at base, distal portion as long as basal portion, narrow, gradually tapering, with short narrow thorn before middle and on the apex, ductus ejaculatorius containg well developed lamina. Remarks. Polyhymno dumonti externally resembles P. hostilis (Meyrick, 1918), but the forewing is light brown rather than dark brown, white pattern along costal margin is broader, medial white area is narrower and white medial subtriangular streak before apex is absent. Two thorns in the phallus are characteristic for P. albifulvella Agassiz & Bidzilya, 2016 too, but the latter differs externally and the thorns are located in middle of the phallus.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

A holotype was not selected in the original description. Six specimens from these dates in SMNK are labelled “ Jericho ”, which is situated 7 km east of Georgskloster (Amsel 1935 c: 228), and these should be considered as syntypes. The species is closely related to A. brizella, but seems to differ in small details of the male genitalia. The genus Aristotelia is in need of revision, and we prefer to retain A. brizelloides as distinct pending future revisionary work, preferably including molecular data.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B59FF9D3A852861CC15840C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Oxypteryx Rebel, 1911 was established as monotypic for the new species O. jordanella described on the basis of two females collected in Jordan. The genus was considered as a synonym of Acompsia by Meyrick (1925: 142) or as a separate genus by Amsel (1935 c: 265). The male genitalia of Oxypteryx (Fig. 30) agree in all details with Eulamprotes Bradley, 1971 so that the following synonymy is proposed: Eulamprotes Bradley, 1971 syn. nov. of Oxypteryx Rebel, 1911. Here we describe the male genitalia of O. jordanella for the first time. Male genitalia. Uncus very small, hump-shaped, with a few apical setae; gnathos reduced; tegumen trapezoidal, as long as broad at base, anteromedial emargination four times as broad as long, subrectangular; valva elongated, parallel-sided to 2 / 3 length, then narrowed towards pointed apex, with subapical fold; sacculus short, subtriangular, 1 / 3 - 1 / 4 length of valva; transtilla lobes rounded; vinculum band-shaped; saccus short, weakly narrowed towards rounded apex; phallus three times as long as broad, slightly longer than valva, distal 1 / 3 weakly narrowed, with subovate membranous area in basal portion, vesica without cornuti. Remarks. Oxypteryx jordanella is well recognized externally by its large size and for Eulamprotes unique wing pattern. The short saccus is the most characteristic feature in the male genitalia.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

Based on study of type material, Povolný (1983) showed that magna is a separate species that differs from I. striatella, I. anthemidella (Wocke, 1871) and some other species of Isophrictis. However, the status of magna is rather questionable as the genus is in need of revision.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

Other species of Metzneria lack distinct black markings (M. lappella Zeller, 1839, M. neuropterella Zeller, 1839) or are smaller in size (M. santolinella (Amsel, 1936), M. intestinella (Mann, 1864) and others). The male genitalia are recognized by two long and two short cornuti in the phallus in combination with the rounded sacculus. M. ehikeella and M. diamondi Amsel, 1949 are similar in the shape of valva and sacculus but have only two long cornuti in the phallus. M. lappella (Linnaeus, 1758) has usually 4 - 5 cornuti of subequal length.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B48FF8A3A852FE4CBC8840C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The small species is defined externally by the white forewing with three dark brown fasciae and black spot in middle and in the corner of cell. S. brandti Povolný, 1972 and S. sinevi Piskunov, 1900 are lighter, without black markings, the fasciae are light brown rather than dark brown. The transverse posterior margin of vinculum in combination with sub-triangular sacculus and narrow saccus are characteristic for the male genitalia. S. acuminatella (Sircom, 1850) is similar in having the transverse posterior margin of vinculum but differs in subrectangular rather than sub-triangular sacculus, the broader saccus and tapered rather than sub-rectangular vincular process (see for comparison Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 375, fig. 17). S. heratella Povolný, 1967 has somewhat similar posterior margin of vinculum and vincular process but differs in the longer uncus, larger sacculus and weakly inflated caecum of the phallus (Povolný 2002: Pl. 8, fig. 73). The female genitalia can be recognized by the strongly edged anteromedial emargination of sternum VIII and narrow medially curved signum. Some other species of Scrobipalpa (e. g. S. albofusca Povolný, 1971, S. sindibad Povolný, 1981 and S. superstes Povolný, 1977) have somewhat similar female genitalia but differ in the above mentioned and some other characters.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

Labial palpus white with light brown basal and apical rings, inner surface of segment 2 entirely white, scape brown, antennal segment brown and white ringed; forewing white, dorsal margin weakly mottled with light brown, three transverse dark brown fasciae at base, before middle and at 2 / 3 length, diffuse black spot with few ochreous scales in mid-width within the second fascia, several black scales in the corner of cell, apex mixed with brown, cilia white, brown-tipped. Hindwing light grey. Male genitalia (Fig. 37). Uncus longer than broad, weakly narrowed, posterior margin weakly rounded; gnathos short; tegumen sub-triangular, anteromedial emargination deep, broadly rounded; valva gradually curved, apex weakly broadened, extending to the top of uncus; sacculus about 1 / 3 length of valva, broad at base, gradually curved inwards, distal portion narrowly tapered towards pointed tip, gap to valva big; posterior margin of vinculum transverse laterally, with deep and broad v-shaped medial emargination, vincular process short, sub-rectangular, extending below tip of sacculus; saccus slender, extending far beyond apex of pedunculus; phallus short, straight, caecum strongly inflated, rounded, half length of phallus. Female genitalia (Fig. 38). Papillae anales sub-ovate, covered with short setae; apophyses posteriores 3.5 times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII as broad as long, subgenital plates broadly separated, covered with microtrichia, with honey-comb sclerotized patches extending posteriorly from the base of apophyses anteriores to 2 / 3 length of medial margin, ventromedial depression weakly sclerotized, not extending beyond the anterior margin of sternum VIII, anteromedial emargination of segment VIII deep, triangular, strongly edged; apophyses anteriores as long as segment VIII; colliculum narrow, ductus bursae gradually broadened towards elongated corpus bursae; signum narrow, strongly curved in middle.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B4EFF883A852E84CC97840C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Gelechia subdiminutella was described from two males and one female from Jaffa (“ Jeffa ”) and “ plains of Jordan ” (Stainton 1867: 45). The type specimens in NHMUK match the specimens listed above from Jericho, Kalia. Phthorimaea crocoleuca was described from one male, which Buxton bred from a larva feeding on Balanites aegyptiaca by Jericho (Meyrick 1923: 51). The holotype has lost its abdomen (Clarke 1969: 160 – 161), but externally matches well O. subdiminutella. The genus Ochrodia is in need of revision. Povolný (e. g., 1972: 93 – 94) was unable to separate the species and synonymized all Ochrodia species under O. subdiminutella. A revision of the genus is outside the scope of this study, but we notice that our material includes at least two Ochrodia species.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B4DFF883A852C97CEDC8015.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Lita rhamnifoliae was first described based on larvae living on “ Rhamnus palästina ” found at Yarkon by Tel-Aviv, Georgskloster by Jericho and near Jerusalem in February and March 1930. Later this species was described again (Amsel 1935 a: 301) based on an unstated number of adults reared most likely from the same larvae which were mentioned in the first description. Povolný (1978: 47, 48) stated that type material of larvae is not preserved and selected a neotype from series of specimens mentioned by Amsel in the “ second ” description (Amsel 1935 a: 301). We traced four specimens in SMNK labelled as cited above (Fig. 48). The collecting days given on their labels differ from those in the original description and probably represent the days when the adults emerged. One of them, dated 6. iv. 1930, is labelled as lectotype and bears additional label “ Neotypus ”. We consider this specimen as part of the original type series, and hence we set aside the neotype designated by Povolný (op cit.) (ICZN 1999: article 75.8). At the same time we designate this specimen as lectotype of Lita rhamnifoliae Amsel & Hering, 1931 in order to stabilize nomenclature.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B42FF873A852D81CB668737.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Schneidereria pistaciella can easily be separated from other species of Litini which larvae feed on Pistacia with exception for Schneidereria pistaciicola (Danilevsky, 1955). However, the latter is restricted to Central Asia. Therefore, we suggest that the questionable record of S. pistaciella from Israel (Halperin & Sauter 1992: 135) should most likely be referred to this specis rather than to S. pistaciicola.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B47FF823A852885CBD183B9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bodenheimer (1930 a: 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 (1930 a) 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.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

4C4D87822B45FF803A852C55CBD58679.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Povolný (1972: 189) described Scrobipalpa otregata from three females: the holotype from the Elburs Mts in Iran, and two paratypes from Palestine. The paratypes were stated in the original description (Povolný 1972: 191) to be in poor condition: “ Das eine Weibschen ist stark abgeflogen, … Die beide Falter sind stark from Hyphen eines Myceliums bewachsen ” [One of the females is strongly worn, ... Both moths are strongly overgrown by fungal hyphae]. Parts of the female genitalia of all three type specimens were figured in the original description. From these it is clear that the paratypes from Palestine (op cit.: 193, fig. 9, 196, fig. 20) are not conspecific with the holotype from Iran (op cit.: 196, fig. 16), which would also have been surprising as the latter was found at an altitude of 1650 m, whereas Jericho is situated at low elevation. Instead they belong Scrobipalpa superstes, a species mainly distributed in western Mediterranean countries, but also found further to the east (see under that species).	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.

P. suasoria is similar to Ochrodia subdiminutella (Stainton, 1867) and perhaps a synonym of that species, and we presume that the record of suasoria from Israel / Palestine is based on misidentification and belongs to O. subdiminutella.	en	Bidzilya, Oleksiy, Karsholt, Ole, Kravchenko, Vasiliy, Šumpich, Jan (2019): An annotated checklist of Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera) of Israel with description of two new species.
