A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: France:1, Rhône-Alpes, Isère, Entre-deux- Guiers, 29.IV.1914, leg. Planet ( MHNG). Germany: 1, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Jülich, leg. Eichhoff ( DEI) ; 1, "Rhein", leg. Eichhoff ( DEI). Switzerland: 1, Aarau ( DEI). Austria: 1, 1 Niederösterreich, Donauauen ( NHMW, cAss). Czech Republic: 1, Paskov, leg. Graf ( DEI) ; 1, Brandýs n. L. ( NHMW) .

C o m m e n t: The type series of L. spadiceum was collected "in Austriae alpibus, Dom. Schüppel, in Bavaria meridionali, Dom. Waltl" ( ERICHSON 1840). Four syntypes, two males and two females, from Austria were located in the historical collection of the MNHUB, a male syntype from Bavaria was found in the collections of the DEI. One of the males from Austria is designated as the lectotype.

The original description of L. tarnieri is based on an unspecified number of syntypes collected by F. Tarnier "à l'est de Dijon" and "un certain nombre d'exemplaires" collected by Rouget (probably also in the environs of Dijon) ( ROUGET 1854). The female syntype of L. tarnieri from Dijon in the collections of the DEI is conspecific with the holotype of L. spadiceum , so that the previously established synonymy is confirmed.
