Tituboea laticollis

Description

Tituboea laticollis (Olivier, 1808)

(Figs 32–34, 175, 181, 185)

Clytra laticollis Olivier, 1808: 846 (original description).

Titubaea laticollis var. subjuncta Pic, 1903: 114 (original description).

Type localities. Clytra laticollis: ‘côte de Barbarie’ [= North African coast from Morocco to Libya]. Tituboea laticollis var. subjuncta: ‘ Tunisie: Gafsa’.

Type material examined. Clytra laticollis: not examined.

Tituboea laticollis var. subjuncta: SYNTYPE: 1 ♂, ‘ Gafsa [w, h] // Type [w, h] // v. subjuncta Pic [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ (MNHN – coll. Pic); 1 ♀, ‘ Gafsa / (Bome) [w, h] // Type [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ (MNHN – coll. Pic).

Additional material examined. TUNISIA: Gafsa env., 27.vi.1976, 2 ♂♂1 ♀, Mager & Mühle leg. (HKCH); 8 km SE of Gafsa-oued, 29.–30.v. 1993, 1 ♂, J. Batelka leg. (FKCC); Monastir, 14.-20.vi. 2009, 1 ♂ 1 ♀, K. Orszulik leg. (JBCB).

Distribution. Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia (REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b).

Comments. The type material of T. laticollis was not examined and its deposition is unknown to us. However, var. subjuncta is conspeciħc with T. laticollis in its widely accepted concept (e.g. LACORDAIRE 1848; REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b; WARCHA Ł OWSKI 2003, 2010).
