Holopyga naefi Linsenmaier, 1959 ( Figs. 3E , 13 A-F)

Holopyga naefi Linsenmaier, 1959: 26. Holotype ♂; Morocco: Fedala (Casablanca), 5.v.1937, leg. Naef ( NMLU).

Specimens examined. Morocco. Grand Casablanca: ♂ holotype, Fedala , 5.v.1937, leg. Naef ; 2♂♂, 1♀ paratypes (♀ allotype), idem. Marrakech-Tensif : 2♀♀, Marrakech, Oued Tensif , 14.-15.v.1947, leg. Naef. Souss-Massa: 1♂, Aoulouz , 20 km S, 5.iv.1986, leg. M. Schwarz ; 1♀, Agadir, Oued Sousse , 29.iv.1980, leg. W. Perraudin ; 1♀, Oued Sousse , 29.iv.1980, leg. W. Perraudin , sur Daucus . All specimens housed at NMLU .

Distribution. Morocco, Tunisia ( Linsenmaier, 1999).

Remarks. The two specimens from Marrakech, not reported in the original description, are not to be considered paratypes under Article 72.4.1. of the Code.Although collected by Naef himself well before 1959, they bring a determination label “Linsenmaier det. 79”, presumably after the Naef collection was acquired by Linsenmaier. It is obvious that the above specimens were not known to Linsenmaier, and by him recognized as belonging to H. naefi , when describing the new species.
