Type.

Syrie, Monts Amanus, Delagrande (in coll. Pic, MNHN). Not examined.

Comments.

I failed to locate type specimens in MNHN, including the Pic collection. I have examined one female determined as Phloeozetus plagiata ("ex Musaeo Chaudoir // Museum Paris 1952, coll. R. Oberthür // plagiata Reiche, Syrie, Kindermann") and reasonably matching the original description of Singilis hirtipennis ; I tentatively determined it as Singilis loeffleri ; if true, Singilis loeffleri should be considered a junior synonym of Singilis hirtipennis , but resolving this case would require examining the type of the latter.
