Meotica smetanai SCHEERPELTZ, 1967: 547 View in CoL ff.

Type material examined: Lectotype ♂, present designation: " ♂ / Albania centr., Tiranë, Smetana 1958 / 27.IV. A [overleaf] / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Cotypus Meotica smetanai O. Scheerpeltz / Lectotypus ♂ Meotica smetanai Scheerpeltz View in CoL , desig. V. Assing 2017 / Meotica smetanai Scheerpeltz View in CoL , det. V. Assing 2017" ( NHMW). Paralectotypes: 1♀: same data as lectotype ( NHMW); 1♂, 1♀: same data as lectotype, but "Typus" ( NHMW) .

Comment: The original description is based on "1 ♂, 1 ♀, Typen, 3 ♀♀ Paratypen " from " Albania centr., Tiranë " ( SCHEERPELTZ 1967). Since a holotype is not specified, all the type specimens must be regarded as syntypes. The male labelled as "Cotypus" is designated as the lectotype, as it is in better condition.

Diagnosis: ♂: median lobe of aedeagus 0.23 mm long, somewhat resembling that of M. filaria ( Figs 65-66 View Figs 60-68 ); apical lobe of paramere blackish.

♀: sternite VIII ( Fig. 67 View Figs 60-68 ) weakly transverse, posterior margin convex; spermatheca similar to that of M. parasita and M. moczarskii , but with coiled proximal portion ( Fig. 68 View Figs 60-68 ).

Confirmed distribution: Albania.
