Scrobipalpa salinella
(Zeller, 1847)
Records.
Bodenheimer 1937: 100
.
Remarks.
We did not examine material of this species from
Israel
, and we do not know the identity of the specimens referred to above by Bodenheimer. At that time the genus
Scrobipalpa
was unrevised, and several species (some of them very similar to
S. salinella
) have since been detected or described from the Mediterranean area and from the Middle East. We therefore consider the occurrence of
S. salinella
as doubtful and remove this species from the list of Israeli
Gelechiidae
.
