Treatment

Thorictus wasmanni Reitter, 1895: Audisio et al. 1995: 12.

Material examined.

None.

Chorotype.

Turanian: endemic of Uzbekistan ( John 1963, Löbl 2007).

Italian distribution.

“Si?” [= Sicily?] ( Audisio et al. 1995).

Remarks.

The above doubtful Sicilian record has already been ignored by other authors ( Löbl 2007, Zhantiev 2011a); this species must be excluded from the Italian fauna, since its occurrence in Sicily is incompatible with its geonemy. It is known from the type specimens only ( Zhantiev 2011b).
