Euplectus jonicus jonicus MEGGIOLARO, 1966: 163 ff.

Euplectus jonicus corcyreus MEGGIOLARO, 1966: 165 f.; syn. nov.

Euplectus jonicus jonicus was described based on a male holotype and a female allotype from “Cefalonia”, E. jonicus corcyreus based on a unique female holotype from “Corfù presso Karoussadek” (MEGGIOLARO 1966). Without further explanations, BESUCHET (2004) synonymized E. jonicus jonicus with E. corcyreus . This synonymy, however, is invalid, since E. jonicus has priority over E. corcyreus (ICZN 1999) . In order to meet the requirements of the Code, the synonymy is corrected (reversed) as indicated above.
