Species Nesiotites hidalgo Bate 1945

Species Nesiotites similis (Hensel 1855)

Discussion: A genus endemic to the Balearic Isls that went extinct during historical times. Vigne (1987) provided a summary of the extinction process. Further information in Vigne and Alcover (1985), and Vigne and Marinval-Vigne (1990, 1991). The morphological separation of Nesiotites from the extinct genus Asoriculus is weak and requires further study ( Masini and Sara, 1998).
