    First record of Pempelia amoenella (Zeller, 1848) for Western Europe (Lepidoptera Pyralidae)

    ABSTRACT
    The first record of Pempelia amoenella (Zeller, 1848) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae) for Western Europe is reported. The species was collected in Southern Italy, on the Ionian coast of Calabria, where the vegetation is dominated by Tamarix, the known feeding plant of the larvae. Female genitalia are figured for the first time.
