Sminthurinus signatus (Krausbauer, 1898)

Sminthurus aureus var. signata Krausbauer, 1898: 496 .

Sminthurinus signatus – Deharveng 1976: 81.

NEW DATA. — First record of the species for Algeria.

DISTRIBUTION. — Probably Europe (not recognized in Bretfeld 1999).

REMARK

Very rare in our samples. The literature about this species is confusing. It is listed in Bretfeld (1999), who follows Stach (1956), as a subspecies of Sminthurinus elegans , with Krausbauer, 1902 given as author. In fact, it was described by this last author as Sminthurus aureus var. signata in 1898, and briefly but clearly characterized by its color pattern. It is very characteristic and common in western Europe ( Thibaud 2017), and fully deserves a specific status.
