Comments

This species has been published twice from Greece. Jolivet (1954) reported four specimens (3 ♂♂, 1 ♀) deposited in ISNB, and I was able to examine them. All three males (from Zagora and Koukouvitza) belong to Coptocephala hellenica Warchałowski, 1991 , and the female from Litochoro is Macrolenes dentipes (Olivier, 1808) . Rozner & Rozner (2014) published Coptocephala scopolina as new for Greece based on one female. The voucher specimen, now deposited in HNHM, was examined and is undoubtedly a female of Coptocephala hellenica . Consequently, Coptocephala scopolina scopolina is deleted from the fauna of Greece.
