Abstract

A list of 13 species of the family Scythrididae collected during 29.IV.– 04.V.2000 in Tunisia is presented. Two new species are described: Scythris kefensis sp. n. and S. spectatorella sp. n.. Both of them are small, dark moths belonging to the subfasciata species-group. S. aciella Bengtsson, 1997 and S. azrouensis Bengtsson, 1997 are recorded for the first time from Tunisia. Further notes on these and some other taxa are given.
