Acritus (Acritus) minutus (Herbst)

Literature data. “All of Italy ” ( Porta 1926). “ Sardinia ” ( Yélamos & Lackner 2004). Cagliari prov.: Cagliari, 15.II.1883, AD, 2 ex ( CAD; Penati & Vienna 2002, 2005, 2006a); idem, sd, UL, 1 ex ( CAD; Penati & Vienna 2002, 2005, 2006a). Oristano prov.: Oristano, 19.V.1902, AD, 1 ex ( CAD; Penati & Vienna 2002, 2005, 2006a). Sassari prov.: Tempio Pausania, 21.IV.1903, AD, 1 ex ( CAD; Penati & Vienna 2002, 2005, 2006a).

Notes. Considering that the specimens from Cagliari, Oristano and Tempio Pausania ( CAD) actually belong to Acritus (Acritus) nigricornis (see notes under that species) and that, apart from the above, very generic records, the presence of this species in Sardinia is documented neither in the literature (Tab. 1) nor in the examined collections, A. minutus should be considered as absent from Sardinia.
