Remarks.

The specimen found in the Radoszkowski collection under the name Spintharis mocsaryi was collected by Mlokosewicz in “Caucasus”. In the original description, the locality is not given. The specimen matches the original description. The most important authors ( Mocsáry 1889, Dalla Torre 1892, Bischoff 1913, du Buysson (in André) 1896, Zimmermann 1927, Balthasar 1953, and lastly Linsenmaier 1968) considered Spintharis mocsaryi as a valid species. It is a synonym of Spintharina vagans (Radoszkowski). Bohart (1987) did not list Spintharis mocsaryi in the key to the genus Spintharis , probably he already considered Spintharis mocsaryi as a synonym of Spintharina vagans .

Current status.

Spintharina vagans (Radoszkowski, 1877) (synonymised by Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 558).
