Pseudolathra quadricollis (FAUVEL, 1875)

Pseudolathra cretense [sic] BORDONI, 1986: 387 f.; nov. syn.

Additional material examined. Turkey: 1 ♂, Osmaniye, 300 m, VI.1968, leg. Schubert (cAss). Cyprus: 1 ♂, Paphos, 6 km N Kedares, 20.VII.2018, leg. Balkenohl (cAss). Greece: Rhodos: 1 ♂, Kolimbia, Loutani river, 10 m, 14.IV.1994, leg. Frisch (cAss).

The original description of P. cretensis is based on a unique male holotype from "Creta, Knossos" deposited in the natural history museum in Prague (BORDONI 1986). This species has never been recorded again. An examination of the four specimens listed in Tab. 1, which are in perfect agreement with the illustrations and description provided by BORDONI (1986), revealed that they are conspecific with P. quadricollis, a species originally described from South Turkey and subsequently reported also from Cyprus, Syria, and Algeria (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). Consequently, P. cretensis is placed in synonymy with P. quadricollis .
