Remarks. The original description mentions that it was based on specimens identified earlier by Tömösváry as “ Chthonius rayi L. Koch ”. Tömösváry’s label has obviously been removed later in this case also (see Introduction). Mahnert (1980a) mentioned that he studied the “ Typus ” in HNHM. Although not mentioned in the original description, Tömösváry (1883: 195) stated that he had collected the specimen.
