Comments. In the Palaearctic catalogue ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b), Cyaniris maroccana is listed as a doubtful synonym of Smaragdina ruþmana ( Lacordaire, 1848) . Examination of the type specimen proved that Cyaniris maroccana is a valid species and belongs to Chilotomina Reitter, 1913 . Based on the original description (WARCHA Ł OWSKI 2000) provided with sufħcient drawings, Chilotomina erberi is proposed as its new junior subjective synonym.
