[ Hybalus bigibber Reitter, 1892 ]

Hybalus bigibber Reitter, 1892e: 260 ; Normand 1936: 376; Baraud 1991: 14.

This species was described from Sicily and recorded from Tunisia by Normand (1936) (Ghardimaou and Souk El Arba [Jendouba]), although the later author was unsure about the identification of the Hybalus specimens he studied. The record from Jendouba probably belongs to H. algiricus . We don’t know any specimen to confirm the presence of this species on Tunisian territory.
