Remarks. In 1963, Linsenmaier deleted the word ‘paratype’ from the identification label of the Siberian specimen and re-identified it as Holopyga amoenula occidenta Linsenmaier. However , even if originally misidentified, this specimen retains the type status of Holopyga ovata proviridis .

One specimen from Palestine was found in the Naef collection and could potentially be the missing paratype from "Palästina", though there is no conclusive evidence to confirm it .
