Glomeris punica – Schubart 1953: 218 (L).

Type material: Tunisia, Bou-Kournine (now Bou Kornine), date?, leg.?, ♁ lectotype of G. punica Attems, 1900 (here designated) (NHMW 3910), paralectotypes: 5 ♁, 1 ♀ (NHMW 3910). The designation of a lectotype (of 60 syntypes, see Attems 1900) seems advisable in order to ensure that the name-bearing type shows the diagnostically important characteristics of the male sex .
