Margarinotus (Stenister) bipustulatus (Schrank) : Vienna 1980: 299

Literature data. “ Sardinia ” ( Bertolini 1904; Porta 1926; Vienna 1980; Audisio et al. 1995; Yélamos & Lackner 2004).

Notes. This species was removed from the Italian fauna by Penati and Vienna (2002) together with M. binotatus (Erichson) and M. kurdistanus (Marseul) , because all three are known only from very old and doubtful records (see Vienna 1980: 293–299); none of these records were confirmed after studying several collections during the preparation of Ckmap ( Penati & Vienna 2005, 2006a) and after carefully screening the literature. Despite this, all three species were still cited from Italy by Mazur (2004) and Yélamos and Lackner (2004).
