Treatment

Sminthurus echinatus Stach, 1930: 72 .

Caprainea echinata – Dallai 1970: 52.

CITATION FROM ALGERIA OUTSIDE COLLO. — Cassagnau (1963: 199, as Sminthurus echinatus ); Thibaud & Massoud (1980: 520); Bretfeld (2001: 99, as Caprainea marginata (Schött, 1893) .

DISTRIBUTION. — Mediterranean region ( Gisin 1960).

REMARK

Frequent in our samples. The synonymy with Caprainea marginata proposed by Bretfeld (1999), based on dorsal chaetotaxy similarity, is not accepted here as it is in sharp contradiction with color patterns as figured in Stach (1956). The specimens seen by Bretfeld (2001) clearly correspond to C. echinata .
