= Haplocnemus capillicornis Abeille de Perrin, 1907 : xxi ( Liberti 1995a: 167).

Material examined. “ Sardinia ” y-? ( NMBA). Ogliastra prov.: Monte Arcueri “ IV.1909, leg. F. Solari ” ( MCSNM) .

Chorotype. Possibly Central Mediterranean: it is present in the whole of Italy (islands included), southern France, Slovenia, Bulgaria, northern Greece ( Constantin 2007; Liberti, unpublished data). Affinities unknown.

Notes. Males of this species have long, almost pectinate antennae, a rather flat body with a rough, heavily and disorderly impressed surface, and is of metallic grey-green colour. Aplocnemus (A.) jejunus was reported for Sardinia by Bertolini (1899 –1904: 74), Luigioni (1929: 627) and Porta (1929: 127), and is rare all over its range. It has been found more than once, in peninsular Italy, wintering under bark. Information on its biology and the description of its larva can be found in Prota (1966) and Fiori (1971). Reported for Sardinia by Prota (1966): “Tempio Pausania, SS [= Sassari prov.] (det. R. Constantin)” and Constantin (2007): Sassari “ 22.III.1949, leg. G. Fiori” 1949 ( CCO); Lago del Cedrino NU [= Nuoro prov.] “ 12.IV.1988, leg. R. Constantin” ( CCO).
