Bryophila schwingenschussi (Boursin, 1954)

(Figs 3b and 7b)

Material examined: Holotype: 1 male, “ Bône (Algerien), Juni 1931 (J. Staettermayer leg.) (Coll. Schwingenschuss)“ (Figs 3b and 7b). In NHMW.

Taxonomic notes: It was described on a single male specimen, being compared with B. barbaria and B. blepharista, in a text where B. muralis and B. domestica were also mentioned as similar taxa. Boursin (1954) stated that this species and B. blepharista are very similar externally but B. schwingenschussi has shorter pectination of the male antennae, slenderer uncus, somewhat longer valvae and the vesica is armed with a strong cornutus which is missing from both B. blepharista and B. barbaria . As far as is known, it is restricted to Morocco.
