Holotype, ♀: Biskra, Algerie, 4.VI.1948 collect. Naef // Type ♀ Holopyga Dhlb. fascialis Lins. ssp. biskrana Lins. Linsenmaier det. 58 // 32 // NML _ENT GBIF _Chr0005337 (ex type-collection).

Allotype, ♂: Biskra, Algerie, 4.VI.1948 collect. Naef // Allotype ♂ Holopyga Dhlb. biskrana Lins. Linsenmaier det. 59 // NML _ENT GBIF _Chr0005338 (ex type-collection).

Remarks. In the Naef collection, which has now been merged with the Linsenmaier collection, there are additional specimens of H. biskrana Linsenmaier collected at Biskra in June 1948, including specimens collected on the 4 th of June, similar to the type and allotype. However, these specimens are notconsidered part of the type series because Linsenmaier only identified them in 1979, after acquiring the Naef collection. Furthermore, the type series is restricted to the holotype and allotype, thereby excluding other specimens.
