Remarks. Identifying all the specimens originally included in the type series is challening. We considered two specimens from the Naef collection as possible paratypes. These two specimens collected at Marrakech in May 1947 by Naef were likely moved by Linsenmaier into his general collection during his revision of Northern African species ( Linsenmaier 1999). Although they correspond to the type series described by Linsenmaier, they lack his typical handritten label. Linsenmaier only identified them in 1991. Nevertheless, they could be considered as paratypes because Linsenmaier listed some paratypes in the Naef Collection (‘’ Paratypen Coll. Naef’’).

Additionally, there is one specimen in the general collection collected by de Beaumont in May 1947 at Ijoukak, which was identified in 1991. This specimen could also belong to the original type series based on the description and the material sent by de Beaumont and retained by Linsenmaier (‘’Coll. m.’’). In fact, Linsenmaier retained the holotype and likely this female specimen, which is labelled: Maroc, Gd Atlas Ijoukak 9.V.1947 J. de Beaumont // NML _ENT GBIF _ Chr 0004931 .
