Remarks. Linsenmaier (1959a, 1968, 1969) used the subspecific name Holopyga fervida chloroidea to identify a taxon similar to Holopyga fervida , which is distributed in the Middle East, but has double punctation on the metasoma and punctures becoming larger in the second half of the second tergum. However, Dahlbom’s (1854) original description was based on males of Holopyga fervida , which are chromatically sexually dimorphic (hence the name) and not related to any distinctive punctation or any other morphological feature. Rosa & Xu (2015) considered the previous lectotype designation of H. chloroidea by Kimsey (1986) invalid and designated a new lectotype based on an Austrian specimen examined by Dahlbom in Spinola’s collection, thereby fixing the synonymy with H. fervida (Fabricius) . The first available name for the taxon identified by Linsenmaier as Holopyga fervida chloroidea is therefore Holopyga buyssoni García Mercet, 1902 ( Boustani & Rosa 2022).
