Laparocerus tessellatus ( Hustache, 1932) View in CoL *

Cyclomaurus tessellatus Hustache 1932, p 43 View in CoL .

Type locality. Aglou-Tiznit, Sous, SW Morroco.

Holotype: 1 ex [Tiznit/( Maroc) Antoine/Sous XII-30] [ Cyclomaurus / tessellatus /Coll. Hoffmann]. MNHN, (Coll. Hofmann), Paris. The original identification label was probably removed by Hoffman. Paratypes: 3 exx [Tiznit/( Maroc) Antoine/Sous XII-30] [Paratype] [Muséum Paris/Coll. Antoine]; 1 ex, same labels plus [ Cyclomaurus / tessellatus m./Hustache det.]; 4 exx [Sous Aglou Maroc (Antoine)]. MNHN (Coll. Antoine), Paris. 1 ex [Aglou Sous XII ( Maroc) Antoine]. MNHN (Coll. Hoffman), Paris.

Remarks. Kocher (1961, p 56) does not see differences between this species and specimens of L. susicus from the same region (Foum-Assaka) in SW Morocco. This synonymy has been confirmed by my colleague Jean Pelletier (personal communication) who compared the type with specimens of Laparocerus susicus I sent to him (nov. syn.). Moreover, Laparocerus tessellatus ( Hustache, 1932) is a secondary homonymy of Laparocerus tessellatus (Brulle´, 1839), but there is no need of a replacement name.
