[ Tmethis cisti gracilis Saussure, 1888 View in CoL ]
Concerning the variety gracilis, also described by Saussure (1888) from Tunisia (Gabes, following Uvarov 1943), and recorded by Chopard (1943) also from Algeria (Chott Melrirh), the peculiar characters listed by the author are the slender body, long and narrow tegmina and pale colour, hind tibiae dark blue, all characters that lie within the wide variability of T. cisti . Consequently, I consider gracilis as a junior synonym of T. cisti , too.
