Gymnetron otini Hustache, 1946

Gymnetron otini was described from a single female collected by Otin at Sidi Harazem ( Morocco), which we could not find in Hustache's collection at MNHN. However, in the same museum, but in Hoffmann's collection, we found one female specimen labelled “Sidi Ameur, 14-VII-1939, Maroc Bleton / N Ameur, 14-7-39, Maroc Bleton / Gymnetron ♀, otini Hust., Hoffmann det. / Bulletin Soc. S. Nat. Maroc 1944 p. 59”, which corresponds exactly to Hustache's original description and is probably the holotype of G. o t i n i which Hoffmann misappropriated from Hustache's collection (H. Perrin, pers. comm.) along with several other species by changing the original labels ( Perrin 1998). This specimen does not show any substantial differences from the lectotype of R. moroderi .
