Remarks. Lesteva fontinalis was originally described based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “Mons serratus [Montserrat] Cataloniae”. During the study of Lesteva from ZSM, the first author found a strongly damaged male, which undoubtedly belongs to the type series. Consequently, this specimen is designated as the lectotype. Lohse (1960) described L. fontinalis truncata as “kleine, kurzflügelige und kleinäugige Rasse” from Central Spain. Herman (2001a) replaced the preoccupied name with L. fontinalis gustavi Herman, 2001 . Based on the study of the type and additional material from Spain and other countries, we did not find pronounced morphological differences between them. Body size, coloration, and the proportions of temples and elytra of L. fontinalis are variable. Thus, the new synonymy is proposed here. Habitus as in Fig. 9 View FIGURES 9–13 . Aedeagus as in Figs. 14–15 View FIGURES 14–19 . Lesteva fontinalis is known from Switzerland, France, Spain, and North Africa ( Schülke & Smetana 2015). In North Africa it was recorded from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia (Fauvel 1871 [=1872], 1878, 1886, 1902, Champion 1898), but all these records require confirmation. It was recorded from Spain by Fauvel (1871a [= 1872]) and Lohse (1955 a, 1960).
