65. Hypocacculus (Nessus) ferreri Yélamos View in CoL

Literature data. Sassari prov.: Lago di Baratz [= Lago Balata (sic!)], 12.VII.1973, LB, 1 ex ( Vienna & Ratti 1999).

Unpublished records. Oristano prov. : Oristano, sd, UL, 1 ♂ ( CUL) .

Chorotype. 3.02 WME (W-Mediterranean) (see also Yélamos 2002, not Mazur 2004).

Italian distribution. Sardinia.

Ecology. Psammophilous species occurring in the same habitats as the other Nessus species.

Notes. In Penati and Vienna (2005, 2006a) the specimen from Oristano (CUL) is ascribed to Hypocacculus (Nessus) rubripes and its label data are erroneously given as “Assemini, 1940, coll. Museo Genova” (see “Data collection”). Because it is a male, the dissection of the aedeagus allowed me to identify it as H. ferreri . This is the second record for this species from the island, and a confirmation of what stated in the notes under H. ascendens .
