barbarus Saussure, 1877: 267-268 , fig. xviii, 3 [Platyblemmus].

Maroc; Tanger (coll. Brunner nos 1985 & 1983, Mus. de Paris ). More than one Ƌ and ♀ .

One possible Ƌ syntype with labels: “Ƌ Tanger, Maroc, colln Guérin” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “Platyblemmus barbarus Sss. ” [handwritten on blue card; “ Sciobia Barbara (Sauss.) Det. R. L. Randell, 1963 ” [determination handwritten on white card with “Det. R. L. Randell, 19” printed]; “Possible syntype of P. barbarus Sauss., Hollier 2011 ” [handwritten on red paper]. The specimen lacks most of both antennae, both front legs, the left middle leg, the tarsi of the right middle leg, both hind legs and much of the abdomen. There is a micro-tube with dissected parts secured through the stopper on the original pin. Judging by the locality labels, the other specimens placed under this name in the MHNG appear to have been collected after the publication of the description. There are two syntypes, a Ƌ and a juvenile, in the NHMW collection. Box A16.
