Remarks.

Atractotomus schmiedeknechti and A. brevicornis were originally described by Reuter (1899) from females collected in northwestern Algeria. He noted similarity of both species with A. parvulus and distinguished A. schmiedeknechti by the moderately fusiform antennomere II and strongly depressed cuneal fracture. Atractotomus brevicornis was subsequently synonymized with A. parvulus ( Stonedahl 1990; Aukema 1998). Wagner (1973a) provided description of a male of A. schmiedeknechti based on the single male from Morocco and transferred this species to the genus Heterocapillus . No new data on this species have been published since 1973 and its taxonomic status has remained questionable. I examined the male specimen of A. schmiedeknechti described by Wagner but failed to locate its vesica. Still, based on the measurements (Table 1 View Table 1 ), vestiture, shape of the antennomeret II of both sexes I consider A. schmiedeknechti Reuter, 1899 to be conspecific with Atractotomus parvulus Reuter: 1878, the only Atractotomus species known from North Africa, and having relatively long apical blade of vesica which resembles the drawing provided by Wagner (1973a).
