( Fig. 5A–5F )

Holopyga ( Holopyga) assecula Linsenmaier, 1999: 39 (descr.), 40 (fig. 69).

Type locality. Egypt: "Ägypten, El Giza V.1988, Sidler , ♀ Type ( Holotypus) Coll. m." .

Holotype, ♀: Aegypten, El Giza, 5.88, R. Sidler // ♀ Type Holopyga Dhlb. assecula det. Linsenmaier 97 // 494 // NML _ENT GBIF _ Chr 0005411 (ex type-collection).

Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959a, 1968) misidentified specimens of Holopyga beaumonti Balthasar, 1953 and H. assecula as H. colonialis Mocsáry, 1911 ( Linsenmaier 1999). Subsequently, Strumia (2016) transferred Holopyga colonialis in the genus Haba Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1954. However, Holopyga assecula and H. beaumonti are correctly classified as Holopyga species, as they lack prehensile tarsomeres.
