Heterothops dissimilis (GRAVENHORST, 1802) View in CoL

Comment: A revision of Heterothops material from the East Mediterranean revealed that the existing identification keys are highly erroneous and misleading. Specimens previously reported as H. minutus WOLLASTON, 1860 not only from Crete, but also from Samos, Ikaría, and Israel ( ASSING 2013a, 2015a, c, 2017c, ASSING & FELDMANN 2012) all belong to H. dissimilis . In fact, I have not seen a single specimen of H. minutus from the whole of the East Mediterranean region, nor from Central Europe.
