Remarks.

The type is destroyed. Only the pin and the label are left. Euchroeus quadratus var. festivus refers to Euchroeus purpuratus var. consularis du Buysson (in André), 1896 (not mentioned in Kimsey and Bohart 1991), which is the only taxon related to Euchroeus purpuratus distributed in North Africa ( Linsenmaier 1999: 99). Euchroeus festivus has priority over Euchroeus consularis , but it was not used after 1899, contrary to consularis , which is the name currently in use.

Current status.

Euchroeus purpuratus ssp. consularis du Buysson (in André), 1896.
