Povolný (1972: 189) 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).
