AleocharaAleochara ( Isochara) ebneri SCHEERPELTZ, 1929: 246 ff.; syn. n.

Type material examined: Holotype ♀: Khudeira b. Haifa, Palästina, 14-16.VII., R. Ebner 1928 / Unter Kuhfladen / 15.VII.1928 / Photographiert 28.XII.28 O. Scheerpeltz / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Typus Aleochara Ebneri O. Scheerpeltz / Aleochara moesta Gravenhorst det. V. Assing 2007 ( NMW).

Additional material examined: Tunceli: 1 ex., Ovacık, 1400 m, VI.1976, leg. Schubert ( NMW) . Bitlis: 1 ex., Tatvan, 1900 m, 20.V.1969, leg. Schubert (cAss) . Van: 2 exs., E Van lake, 1800-2200 m, VI.1971, leg. Schubert ( NMW) . Locality not identified: 1 ex., Kaliovar , 17.VI.1974, leg. Schubert ( NMW) .

The original description of A. ebneriebneri is based on a single holotype female from “Khudeira bei Haifa ” ( SCHEERPELTZ, 1929). An examination of this specimen, including a dissection of the spermatheca, revealed that it is a small pale specimen of A. moesta ; hence the synonymy proposed above.

Aleochara moestamoesta was only recently reported from Turkey ( Konya) for the first time ((ASSING, 2007).
