C o m m e n t: The original description of X. graecus is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Attica, Nauplia...; Creta ...; Athen". Two syntypes, a male and a female, were found in the Kraatz collection ; the male is designated as the lectotype.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: For an illustration of the revised distribution of this species see Map 2. Interestingly, the distribution appears to be disjunct, the western part extending from southern Italy and Malta to Greece and separated from the eastern part by a corridor occupied by X. varnensis . The records previously reported from Chalkidiki, Karpathos, Rhodos, Crete, and western Anatolia (Muğla) ( ASSING 2007a) are based on misidentifications and refer to X. varnensis and X. minos , respectively. The same applies to previous records from Lebanon and Israel; all the examined specimens from these countries identified as X. graecus have proved to be misidentified X. gridellii , occasionally also other species. The aedeagus is illustrated in Figs 60-62 View Figs 60-66 , 67 View Figs 67-70 . Based on the revised distributions, the species of the X. graecus group are strictly allo- or parapatric (Map 2). Xantholinus graecus is reported from Malta for the first time.
