Introduction
Yponomeutoid moths occur worldwide on all continents with temperate, tropical, and subtropical cli-
mate (Gershenson, Ulenberg, 1998). Some of them might considerably damage fruit trees, and arboreal and
bushy plants. In Israel, the fauna of Yponomeutoid moths stayed poorly known apart of pests of cultivated
plants. According to our knowledge, only five species of this group have been recorded from Israel thus far:
the olive moth, Prays oleae (Bernard, 1788) (= P. oleellus Fabricius, 1794), the citrus blossom moth, P. citri
Millière, 1873, the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1788) (= P. maculipennis Curtis, 1832),
Ypsolopha eremellus Amsel, 1933 and Y. sculpturella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) (Amsel, 1933; Avidov, Harpaz,
1969; Bodenheimer, 1937; Bytinski-Salz, 1966; Halperin, Sauter, 1992).
Our preliminary study, mostly conducted at the “Evolution Canyon” microsite, Lower Nahal Oren, Mt.
Carmel, Israel (Nevo, 1995, 1997, 2001) indicates that number of species of this group in Israel is larger then of
the species mentioned above. Classification of moths in this paper is given according to Heppner (1998).
Material is deposited in the insect collection at the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology (SIZK) and at
the Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University (TAU). The following species are recorded from Israel for
the first time.
FAMILY YPONOMEUTIDAE (S. STR.)
Yponomeuta albonigratus Gershenson, 1972
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. {, Lower Nahal Oren (north-facing slope), 20.05.2000 (collected by Ger-
shenson and Pavlíček) (TAU).
Comments. This species is known from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrghyzstan
where is trophically associated with willows (Salix sp.) (Gershenson, 1972; Sherniya-
Z. S. Gershenson, T. Pavliček, V. I. Chikatunov, E. Nevo 78
zova, 1975). No willows grow in the Lower Nahal Oren (Nevo et al., 1999) but at
least five willow species are known from the other parts of Israel (Zohary, 1966).
Yponomeuta cagnagellus (Hübner, 1813)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. 5 {, 3 }, Lower Nahal Oren (north-facing slope), 18.05.2000 (Gershenson
and Pavlíček) (TAU; SIZK).
Comments. This species is common in Europe and also widespread in Caucasus
region (Gershenson, Ulenberg, 1998) where it is trophically connected with the spin-
dle Euonymus verrucosus, E. europaeus (Friese, 1960; Kurbanova, 1963; Gershenson,
1974). No autochthonous Euonymus sp. is known from Israel.
Yponomeuta meridionalis Gershenson, 1972
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. {, }, Mount Carmel, forest park near of the Haifa University, 16.05.2000
(collected by Gershenson) (TAU).
Comments. Till now, this species was known only from Tajikistan (Gershenson,
1972; Shernijazova, 1975) where it feeds on hawthorns Crataegus korolkowii, C. songa-
rica, C. turkestanica (Rosaceae) (Sherniyazova, 1975).
Kessleria saxifragae (Stainton, 1868)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. 2 }, Lower Nahal Oren (north-facing slope), 21.05.2000 (Gershenson and
Pavlíček) (TAU; SIZK).
Comments. The species was known from Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, and the former Czechoslovakia (Gershen-
son, Ulenberg, 1998). Larvae feed on Saxifraga oppositifolia, S. spathularis, S. panicu-
lata, S. aizoides, S. grisebachii (Huemer, Tarmann, 1991; Agassiz, 1996). S. hederacea
is the only native species of the genus Saxifraga in Israel, growing also in the Lower
Nahal Oren (Pavlíček, pers. obs.).
FAMILY PLUTELLIDAE
Ypsolopha asperella (Linnaeus, 1761)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. {, }, Revivim, 10.06.1952 (Bytinski-Salz) (TAU).
Comments. Known from Europe, Asia Minor, East Mediterranean, and South
Siberia where it develops on a host plant of the family Rosaceae (Zagulajev, 1981).
Ypsolopha dentella (Fabricius, 1775)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. }, Ein Gedi, 25.04.1961 (TAU).
Comments. Palearctic species recorded from Europe, Caucasus, Siberia, Russian
Far East and Japan where it develops on honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.) (Zagulajev, 1981;
Gershenson, Ulenberg, 1998). L. etrusca is a native Israel species, but some other spe-
cies of the genus have been already introduced.
Ypsolopha instabilella Mann, 1866
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. 2 {, Lower Nahal Oren (north-facing slope), 17.05.2000 (Gershenson and
Pavlíček) (TAU; SIZK).
Comments. This species occurs in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrghyzstan, Asia
Minor, and in the southern part of Eastern Europe, where develops on Ephedra sp.
(Zagulajev, 1981). E. foemina grows in the Lower Nahal Oren (Nevo et al., 1999).
New Records of Yponomeutoid Moths from Israel … 79
Ypsolopha mucronella (Scopoli, 1763)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. {, Lower Nahal Oren (north-facing slope), 16.05.2000 (Gershenson and Pav-
líček) (TAU).
Comments. East European species, also known from Asia Minor where feeds on
spindle (Euonymus sp.) (Zagulajev, 1981).
Ypsolopha persicella (Fabricius, 1787)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. 2 }, Lower Nahal Oren (valley bottom), 21.05.2000 (Gershenson and Pav-
líček) (TAU and SIZK).
Comments. This species is known from Central and south-eastern Europe, Cri-
mea, Caucasus, and Asia Minor, where feeds on host plants of the family Rosaceae
(Zagulajev, 1981).
Plutella porrectella (Linnaeus, 1758)
Ma t e r i a l e x am ined. 2 {, Lower Nahal Oren (south-facing slope), 26.05.2000 (Gershenson and
Pavlíček) (TAU; SIZK).
Comments. European species also recorded from Caucasus, southern Siberia and Asia
Minor where larvae feed on host plants of the family Brassicaceae (Zagulajev, 1981).
Discussion
A preliminary study of the yponomeutoid moths in Israel shows that this group is
richer in the Middle East than previously reported. At the “Evolution Canyon” mi-
crosite alone (Nevo, 1995, 1997, 2001), Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel, we
recorded seven new species for Israel. In addition, one new species for Israel was col-
lected in the forest near the University of Haifa (ca. 14 km north-east of “Evolution
Canyon”) and two newly recorded species for Israel were found unidentified in the
insect collection deposited at the Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University.
All the newly recorded species for Israel are widespread distributed in the world.
Two of the species (P. porrectella, Y. dentella) collected at “Evolution Canyon” are
mostly distributed in the Oriental Region, whereas the rest of species mentioned in the
paper are distributed in the Palearctic region. At the “Evolution Canyon” microsite,
five species were collected from the cooler, microclimatically less variable and dense
north-facing slope, whereas only one species was collected from the warmer, micro-
climatically more fluctuating and African-savanna-like south-facing slope.
This study was supported by the Israel Discount Bank Chair of Evolutionary Biology, and by the An-
cell-Teicher Research Foundation for Genetics and Molecular Evolution.
