(L.) crassus Grouvelle, 1914 (Cameroon) but differs from them by the shape of the elytral pattern and structure of the antennae; from  Litargus (Alitargus) balteatus LeConte, 1856, it differs by the structure of the antennae (short terminal antennomere) and presence of apical elytral spot.</p><p>Litargus (Litargus) jacquesi sp. nov.</p><p>(Fig. 3-4)</p><p>ZooBank:https://zoobank.org/ A40628A1-F9A1-42F2-A402-AC0DFDF19BF6</p><p>Holotype, ♀, Benin, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=2.673889&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=6.9652777" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 2.673889/lat 6.9652777)">Pobé</a>, 03.xii.2022, Forët de Pobé, 06°57’55’’N - 02°40’26’’E, ultra violet light, Alain Coache legit.
