Note.
Harold (1880: 42)
states that this is a true
Ataenius
. However, since its description by
De Geer (1774: 318)
, nobody has reported seeing
Scarabaeus nanus
. The only reports we have found in the literature are repetitions of the original description. The whereabouts of the
type
material are unknown and we consider this a species inquirendum.
