Protosmia (Protosmia) monstrosa (Pérez, 1895)

R. Le Divelec discovered in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris the male holotype of Protosmia (Protosmia) monstrosa (Pérez, 1895), which was assumed to be lost. The male clearly belongs to P. (Protosmia) tiflensis (Morawitz, 1875) . Thus, P. monstrosa syn. nov. is a junior synonym of P. tiflensis and not identical with P. (Protosmia) mirabilis (Friese, 1899) as assumed by Alfken (1935).
