Lithocharis fontinalis PEYERIMHOFF, 1929 View in CoL

Comment: The identity of L. fontinalis is doubtful. The original description is based on a unique holotype from "Hoggar: source T'abor, à quelques kilomtres de Tamanrasset " sent to him by "M. Pierre Bordes, Gouverneur général de l'Algérie" ( PEYERIMHOFF 1929). The male sexual characters are not described, suggesting that the specimen is a female. According to the curator in charge at the MNHNP, the holotype was not found in the Peyerimhoff collection (TAGHAVIAN e-mail 27.I.2014). Thus, it seems that Peyerimhoff returned it to Pierre Bordes. I have been unable to trace the whereabouts of the Bordes collection.
