SCHEPLER , gen. prep. no. 7445 ZT (coll. ZMUC ) . Description( Figs5–8 ).Wingspan: 11–13mm .Headwhitetoslightlygreyishwhite.Firstthird of antenna greyish white, remainder dark brown ringed with white scales. Thorax, tegula and forewing yellowish ochreous, dull shiny, worn specimens with more yellowish colour. First fascia obliquefrom1/3–1/4ofcostato2/5(almostto1/2)ofdorsum,moreorlessstraight,slightlytapering towarddorsum.Secondfasciaextendingfrom3/4ofcostato3/5ofdorsum,weaklycurvedinwards, wider than first fascia. A line along termen, sometimes reduced to dots or even obsolete except at apex. Hindwing light greyish brown to brown. Male genitalia ( Figs 13–14 ). Uncus broad basally, triangular, apex pointed. Tegumen broad. Gnathos absent. Valva reaching or slightly exceeding uncus, more or less broader in distal half. Sacculus process from 1/3 to 1/2 length of sacculus base. Small depression may occur between processandbase.Saccusmediuminsize,pointed.Aedeagusbroadbasally.Vesicawithnumerousminute cornuti. Femalegenitalia( Figs18–20 ).Apophysisposteriorlong,about3timesthelengthofsegment VIII. Apophysis anterior about the same length as segment VIII. Ostium bursae elongate, covered with fine spines, distally with plicate rotund protrusion. Ductus bursae very long. Distal part of ductus bursae with sclerotized colliculum. Bursa copulatrix round, signum sub-oval with a distinct section not covered with spines. Bionomics.Earlystagesandbionomicsofthespeciesunknown.Adultshavebeencollectedin May–July. The type specimen was collected at an altitude of 1100 m . The Greek specimens from Monemvasia were collected at UV light-trap between 21–23 hours. AMSEL (1935) observed that the species was not rare in a locality at Karmal ( Israel ) . Distribution ( Fig. 22 ). Israel , Turkey , Greece . Remarks.Smalldifferencesexistingenitaliaofthemales(shapeofsacculus and valva) ( Figs 13–14 ) and females (distance between ostium and colliculum) ( Figs 18–20 ) of specimens from known localities. However, after investigation of all available material of the species we assume that these differences are within a variability of the species. The genitalia of the Greek male from Monemvasia ( Fig. 14 )withaslightlydifferentshapeofsacculusmightbearesultofasingulardeformation or mutation. Our assumption may change or be confirmed when more material becomes available and the bionomics of the species in various habitats becomes known. * Acknowledgements – We are indebted to our colleagues for the loan or donation of material and for information: Mr FERENC BUSCHMANN ( Jász Múzeum , Jászberény , Hungary ) , Mr GUSTAV ELSNER ( Prague , Czech Republic ) , Dr PETER HUEMER ( TLMF , Innsbruck , Austria ) , Mr OLE KARSHOLT ( ZMUC , Copenhagen , Denmark ) , Mr ANDRÁS KUN ( HNHM , Budapest , Hungary ) , Dr MARTIN LÖDL ( NHMW , Vienna , Austria ) , Dr ALEXANDR LVOVSKY ( ZIAP , St Petersburg , Russia ) and Mr GABRIEL PASTORÁLIS (Komárno, Slovak Republic ) .
