Hebrus iheriri Poisson, 1953

( Fig. 65 )

Hebrus iheriri Poisson, 1953: 67 . Syntypes: 4 ♀, Algeria: Iherir , Aharhar ( USNM).

Distribution ( Fig. 65 ). North Africa: Algeria (southeast): Tassili Mts. ( Poisson 1953).

Comments. The species has not been found since its original description and the male is unknown.

No type depository was mentioned in the original description by Poisson (1953). Andersen (1995) indicated the type depository as MNHN in Paris, but a subsequent search for the types was unsuccesfull (E. Guilbert, pers. comm.). All four syntypes (3 card-mounted, one slide-mounted) are deposited in the USNM in Washington: ‘I found one slide, an apparent syntype, of H. iheriri with the head, hemelytra and wings and labelled Hebrus iheriri Tassili n. sp., two letter [can’t read them] 76, E. Bernard. We also have three carded specimens, all apparent syntypes, one of which is labelled “ Type ”. There is not locality data, but two have the number 52 and the third has a 76.’ (T. J. Henry, pers. comm).
