L. algerica attenuata Fairmaire, 1875 View in CoL
Lampyris attenuata Fairmaire, 1875: 512 View in CoL . Loc. typ. “ Kéruan ” (Abdul-Kerim)
Distribution. Present in Algeria and Tunisia. The citation for Libya: Cyrenaica ( Geisthardt & Satô 2007: 226) appears to be an error.
In the plain at a very low altitude ( Olivier 1887). Assez répandu au Nord de la région désertique ( Olivier 1895).
Note. Fairmaire described a single male from Kairouan (Kérouan), Tunisia, which may still be in the Genoa Museum today ( Geisthardt 1983). The female was described by Olivier (1884: 19, 1885: ix). Due to the slightly protruding hair on the pronotum and elytra, the shape of the pronotum, the curved tibiae, and the shape of the aedeagus, it is usually easy to distinguish from both the nominate form and the other subspecies; only with the ssp. laevigata could confusion take place, as a slight curvature of the tibiae occurs in this subspecies. The posterior edge of the last sternite (median) in the ssp. laevigata never cut out so clearly as in attenuata ( Geisthardt 1983) .
