Pseudolathra quadricollis (FAUVEL, 1875) View in CoL

Lathrobium (Lobrathium) boyadjiani RAMBOUSEK, 1907: 16 f.; nov.syn.

Pseudolathra cretensis BORDONI, 1986: 387 f.; synonymized by ASSING (2019).

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype ♀: "Taurus- 06, Kizil-Dagh / Lobrathium Boyadjiani m., 'original' Rambousek / collectio Rambousek / Typus / = quadricolle Fauv / Pseudolathra quadricollis (Fauvel) View in CoL , det. V. Assing 2019" ( NMP).

A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: SeeASSING (2019).

Lobrathium boyadjiani was described based on a unique female from "Taurus (Kizil-Dagh)" ( RAMBOUSEK 1907). A comparison of this specimen with material of P. quadricollis View in CoL from several localities in the East Mediterranean revealed no evidenc whatsoever suggesting that it should represent a distinct species. Hence the synonymy proposed above. The present interpretation of P. quadricollis View in CoL is identical to that of COIFFAIT (1982) and FAGEL (1966).

The currently known distribution includes Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Algeria, and the Greek islands Crete and Rhodos ( SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015, ASSING 2019).
