Highlights
Carpenter moths (Lepidoptera, Cossidae) of the Middle East are relatively poorly studied and there is still difficulties in identifying many species of this region
The Palaearctic Region with more than 70 known Dyspessa species is the richest region in this regard; the specific status of several species occurring in this area have not clearly been resolved (Yakovlev, 2011)
Most of the species of the genus are found in desert, semi-desert and mountainous areas of the southwestern Palaearctic (Yakovlev & Dubatolov, 2013a, b; Yakovlev, 2015) and many species are local endemics
