Marphysa sanguinea (Montagu, 1813)

Marphysa sanguinea Fauvel, 1919: 381 .— 1923: 408, fig. 161.—1932: 141–142.—1953: 245–246. Non Montagu, 1813.

Material examined. None.

Remarks. Hutchings and Karageorgopoulos (2003) redescribed this species described from SW England and designated a neotype; subsequently Lavesque et al. (2017, 2019) also recorded it from NW France and also have sequenced this species from the type locality. Records of M. sanguinea by Fauvel from areas outside of France including Fauvel (1932, 1953) from India cannot be confirmed as material was unavailable for examination, and it appears that Fauvel did not always deposit vouchers (Lavesque pers. comm.). It appears that M. sanguinea has a restricted distribution to Northern Europe but has been widely reported from around the world and records need to be checked to confirm their true identity.
