Dasyhelea malibui Yu, 2008: 165 View in CoL (male, France). Syn. nov.

New country records. Morocco. Larache, south of Tanger, 9 April 1984, 2 males, leg. P. Sura. Sweden. Johannisfors, 18 July 2003, net, 1 male, leg. W. Giłka.

Distribution. Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia (Kaliningrad Oblast, Ussuri Land), Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Georgia, Spain (Canary Isl.), Morocco, Algeria, Israel.

Discussion. There are no major differences between D. turficola and the recently described D. malibui from France ( Yu 2008). The illustrations of D. malibui by Yu (2008) indicate that it is a new junior synonym of D. turficola , which is very common and well known in Europe.

This is an arboreal Palaearctic species. The records from Germany ( Havelka & Aguilar 1999) and from the Netherlands ( Knoz & Beuk 2002) are questionable because they did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included these countries in this section. Larvae of D. turficola live in fresh and saline wet soil and in peat-bogs.
