Zusammenfassung:The species Corley, , Corley, and Buchner & Junnilainen, and the subspecies Depressaria saharae Gastón & Vives ssp. tabelli Buchner, are described. was first found in Spain in 1969 and recognised as apparently new but the specimens in NHMUK have remained undescribed. Additional Spanish material has been located in ZMUC and other collections and three specimens have been found from Greece. . A single male of an unidentified of the group was found in Algarve, Portugal in 2010. A search for larvae in March 2011 was successful and one male and one female were reared from . Additional specimens of the new species have been located in collections from Spain, Greece and Morocco. . A specimen from Greece with the name (Zeller, 1847) found in the Klimesch collection in ZSM had forewing markings which suggested that it might be a different species. Further specimens from Italy and Greece have been examined, among them two reared from (Apiaceae). Both genitalia and barcode show that this is an undescribed species. Gastón & Vives, 2017 was described very recently (Gastón and Vives 2017) from northern Spain with a brief description, and figures of two males and male genitalia.
