''Paropta paradoxus'' is a species of moth of the Cossidae family. It is found on Cyprus and Rhodes〔(Fauna Europaea )〕 and in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iran and Jordan. The wingspan is about 33 mm.〔(lepidoptera.pl )〕 Adults are on wing from December to February in Israel. The larvae have been recorded feeding on ''Vitis'' species, ''Ficus carica'', ''Ficus pseudosycramorus'', ''Acacia arabica'', ''Cercis siliquastrum'' and ''Crataegus'' species.〔(Cossidae of Israel )〕 Young larvae feed under loose bark, penetrating the wood through dried stubs of pruned canes. They create galleries along the axes of stems and branches. Alternatively, larvae may also develop under dry bark. The species overwinters as an immature or mature larva. Pupation usually takes place in the larval galleries.〔(On the biology of Paropta paradoxus (H.-S.)
