Acupalpus mauritanicus Dejean, 1829: 480 View in CoL .

Dejean (1829) stated that he studied at least two individuals. The specimen designated as lectotype is a female bearing the labels “ mauritanicus m. in Barbaria Tanger ”, “D. Solier” and “ Lectotype of Acupalpus mauritanicus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano”.

Amblystomus mauritanicus View in CoL is distributed in Morocco and western Iberia (Serrano, 2013), and is easily determined due to its large body size (5-6 mm), slender antennae and asymmetrical labrum. Determination keys are available in Fuente (1927) and Antoine (1959).
