L. barbara J. E. Olivier, 1884 View in CoL

Lampyris barbara J. E. Olivier, 1884: 11 View in CoL (in the key), 30–31. Loc. typ. “Barbarie” (Verreaux, collection de M. Chevrolat). Holotypus: “ Barbaria , Alger ”, VERREAUX leg., Coll. OLIVIER – MNP ( Geisthardt 1983: 34)

Olivier 1884: 11, 30–31, Catalogue, 1895: 67, 1907a: 43, 1910: 35; Cros 1924: 37; McDermott 1966: 2, 127; Geisthardt 1983: 34, 36, 43; Fanti & Parisi 2024: 7; Keller 2024

Distribution. Algeria.

Locality. Barbarie ( Olivier 1884, 1907a, 1910; Cros 1924 [ Olivier 1884]; McDermott 1966). Barbaria, Alger ( Geisthardt 1983). Afrique australe ( Olivier 1895).

Note. Synonymized with Lampyris nervosa by Geisthardt (1983: 34), a species of Israel, Jordan, and Syria ( Geisthardt & Satô 2007) and probably also present in Lebanon ( Geisthardt 1983). The only known specimen (Holotype) of L. barbara is largely similar to L. nervosa in all essential characters, including the aedeagus, that the minor habitus differences cannot be seen as separating them, and therefore the locality
