C o m m e n t: The type material of this species was examined in the course of the identification of Microsaurus material from Spain. The original description is based on "ein Pärchen" collected "in den ätolischen Alpen" by "Herrn v. Kiesenwetter" ( KRAATZ 1858). The male syntype was located in the Kraatz collection at the SDEI. The specimen has a lectotype label by D. Drugmand attached to it, but this lectotype designation was never published. Since the identity and whereabouts of the second syntype are uncertain, the above male is here designated as the lectotype. The male primary and secondary sexual characters are illustrated in Figs 6-8 .
