Current status. Junior synonym of Poecilimon fussii Fieber, 1878 .

Comments. Based on the original description, the species was described according to 13 specimens. Specimens collected on 21 st July (i.e. the holotype and the allotype) were not found in the collection. Specimens labeled as the holotype and the allotype do not correspond with the original description in their collecting date, and we therefore consider them rather as paratypes. On the other hand, there are several clear mistakes in the collecting dates of the type specimens in the original description (i.e., the specimen collected by Hoffer was collected on 11 th July based on the original label, not on 17 th July as it is listed in the description), and dates of some specimens moreover differ between the Czech and the English part of the paper. We cannot therefore exclude that the collecting dates were listed incorrectly in the original description, or that the specimens indicated as holotype and allotype were not mislabeled.
