Hyperaspis (Hyperaspis) inexpectata Günther, 1959 resurrected name

Material examined. Italy, Sardinia, Medio Campidano prov., Villacidro, Rio Cannisoni , 401 m, 19- 25.V.2008, D. Whitmore leg., Malaise trap, 2 ex ( CCC) .

Remarks. First record for Sardinia ( Audisio et al 1995; Canepari 2004). This species is recorded from central Europe, southern France, Spain, Bosnia, southern Italy, Dalmatia ( Croatia) and Crete ( Greece) (Canepari et al. 1995; Canepari 2004). Kovář (2007) lists Hyperaspis (Hyperaspis) inexpectata as a synonym of H. (H.) concolor Suffrian, 1843 . Hyperaspis inexpectata Günther, 1959 , as considered by Canepari et al. (1985), is different from H. concolor Suffrian, 1843 . I could not examine the holotype of Hyperaspis inexpectata , but this group of species needs further revision.
