(Fig. 8)

Agrypnus judaicus Reiche & Saulcy, 1857: 418 .

Material examined. “B. Naddi h. B. e. w. may/1957” 1 (1, CCUL); “ Lebanon, Horsh Ehden NR, pins, pitfall, 27–8–2011, Jida / Nemer / Kfoury ” (1, HNHM) , “ Lebanon Appl. 1878 I. Beirut ” (7, NHMW); “Appl. 1878 I. Bey Mary ” (2, NHMW) .

Published data. Original description. Type locality: “ Beyrouth [Lebanon]” (Reiche & Sulcy 1857: 418).

Distribution. A: Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey (Cate 2007).

Remarks. One specimen of Lanelater from the collection of USEK (without locality labels) most probably represents a new species similar to L. judaicus . However, it clearly differs from the latter in the apices of posterior angles of pronotum, which are very short, truncate and not divergent (longer and divergent in L. judaicus).
