Notes:
This monograph, part of the "Evolution Canyon" model research program, is the first overview of the 3 families, 6 genera, and 25 species of the Yponomeutoid moths from Israel. For each species, main references, diagnostic characters, including external morphology of the imago, male genitalia, trophic connections, geographical distribution, and comparative remarks are given. Keys to the identification of the Yponomeutoid moths from Israel to families, genera, and species are presented. The following three species are newly recorded from Israel: Yponomeuta plumbellus (Den. et Schiff.), Y. sedellus Tr., and Argyresthia conjugella Zell. The book is addressed to specialists in moths, collectors, biogeographers and nature conservationsts.
