foreli Saussure, 1898: 218-219 , fig. 5 [Thliptoblemmus].

Algeria orientalis, Pagus oranensis. More than one Ƌ.

Four Ƌ syntypes. A Ƌ with labels: “ ALGERIE, FOREL” [printed on pink paper]; “ Oran ” [handwritten on a strip of pink paper]; “Thliptoblemmus foreli Sauss. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Sciobia foreli (Sauss.) , Det. RIL. [sic] Randell, 1963” [determination handwritten on white card with “Det. RIL. [sic] Randell, 19” printed]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. The left antenna, both middle legs, both hind legs and the cerci are missing. A Ƌ with labels: “ Oran ” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Thliptoblemmus foreli Sauss. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Most of both antennae, the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg and the cerci are missing. A Ƌ with labels: “ Oran ” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Thliptoblemmus foreli Sauss. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. The left antenna, the last tarsal segment of the left middle leg, the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg and the tarsi of the right hind leg are missing. A Ƌ with labels: “ Oran ” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Thliptoblemmus foreli Sauss. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. The right antenna, the right middle and hind legs and the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg are lost. This specimen is considerably smaller than the others and could be a juvenile. The original description mentions the specimen collected by Forel and several specimens without localities; it seems likely that the locality labels on the other specimens (which are in a different handwriting to that on Forel’s specimen) were added later.
