Scrobipalpa deluccae is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.[2][3][4] It was described by Dalibor Povolný in 1966.[1][2][3] The moth is found in Lebanon and Syria.[4] Sources differ as to whether it also occurs in Malta. The type series includes one specimen from Malta, collected by the eponymous Mr. de Lucca.[1] This might be an error of some sort,[5] and Malta is included in the range of this species in some databases[2] but not in others.[3][4]
