Rugilus exiguus HEER 1839: 233 View in CoL ; nov syn.

C o m m e n t: The nomen dubium Rugilus exiguus HEER ( SMETANA 2004) View in CoL is based on type material from "Zürichberg..., Genf " ( HEER 1839). The original description best fits Rugilus orbiculatus View in CoL ("Caput subobiculare, latitudine fere elytrorum,... pronot. suborbiculatum,... elytra opaca, nigra, apice picea"), with which the name is synonymised.
