Comment: The original description of Meotica quadraticollis is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from "den transsylvanischen Alpen (Rotenturmpass)" (SCHEERPELTZ 1954a). Only one syntype was located in the Scheerpeltz collection. The specimen was examined, labelled as the lectotype, and identified as Apimela sabulicola by Vladimir Gusarov (Oslo). With his consent, the lectotype designation is here published.
