Citation from Edough: Hamra-Kroua (2016: 87 as H. nitidus (Templeton, 1835)); Zoughailech (2017: 137 as H. cf. nitidus).

Citations from Algeria outside Edough: Handschin (1926: 125 as H. nitidus); Stomp (1974: 114, 1983: 196); Thibaud & Massoud (1980: 518 as H. nitidus); Hamra-Kroua & Allatou (2003: 23 as H. nitidus); Ait-Mouloud et al. (2007: 151 as H. nitidus); Baquero et al. (2009: 68 as H. nitidus); Hamra-Kroua (2016: 87 as H. nitidus); Zoughailech (2017: 137 as H. cf. nitidus); Bendjaballah et al. (2018: 407, Fig. 19); Bendjaballah (2020: 83).

Distribution: Mediterranean (Gisin 1960).

Remark. The citation of H. nitidus (Templeton, 1835) in Edough probably results from a confusion with H. tetrophthalmus, which was considered as a synonym of H. nitidus by Mari-Mutt (1980), a conception challenged by Bendjaballah et al. (2018); we have never seen the typically orange H. nitidus in Algeria.
