Anacampsis scutata Meyrick, 1894 —Trans. ent. Soc. 1894 (1): 14. Records. Bodenheimer 1930a: 174 ; Amsel 1935b: 210 ; Bodenheimer 1937: 101 ; Halperin & Sauter 1992: 121 . Material examined. 1 ♂ , Huliot , 27.x.1968 ( Shoham ) ; 1 ♀ , same data but 22.vi.1968 ; 1 ♀ , Jerusalem , 6.vi.2004 ( Kravchenko ) (all TAU ) ; 1 ♀ , Nahal Oren , Mt. Carmel , light trap 29.x.1998 ( Pavlíček & Kravchenko ) ; 1 ♀ , ditto but 30.x.1997 ; 1 ♀ , ditto but 19.vi.1998 ; 1 ♂ , ditto but 21.v.1998 (all NMPC ). Host plant. In Israel the larvae have been recorded feeding on Prosopis sp. ( Halperin & Sauter 1992: 121 ). Distribution. Spain (with Canary Islands ), Portugal , France , Malta , Italy ( Sicilia and Sardinia ), North Africa, Turkey , Middle East, India , Indonesia , Cameroon , Cape Verde , Ethiopia , Nigeria , Gambia , Kenya , Tanzania , Zimbabwe , Malawi , Namibia , South Africa ( Karsholt & Riedl 1996: 120 ; Ponomarenko 2009: 283 ; De Prins & De Prins 2018 ). 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.
