Note. Stebnicka (2009b: 35) synonymizes Labarrus pseudolividus with Labarrus cincticulus ( Hope, 1847) (p. 284), which she refers to as Aphodius (Labarrus) cincticulus . Théry and Bordat (2012: 311) reject this synonymy based on L. pseudolividus being in predominant use in a large body of literature. They also recall that L. cincticulus has for a long time been considered a synonym of Labarrus lividus ( Olivier, 1789) (p. 86), with the definitive separation between L. lividus and L. pseudolividus being established in Angus et al. (2004). We have chosen to follow Théry and Bordat (2012).
