Remarks. – Recently, Olivier et al. (2024) transferred Urgleptes melzeri (Gilmour,1959) to Lepturges ( Lepturges) Bates, 1863 .Although the transfer was correct, the figures included in the work do not correspond to the holotype of Lepturges humilis (= L. ( L.) melzeri ): they are of the lectotype of Urgleptesprolixus ( Melzer, 1931).Monné et. al. (2024) illustrated the true holotype of L. ( L.) humilis . Therefore, the following corrections must be made:

– Lepturges ( Lepturges) melzeri ; Olivier et al., 2024: Fig. 38-40 = Lepturges prolixus (= Urgleptes prolixus ). All other information on L. ( L.) melzeri in Olivier et al. (2024) and Monné et al. (2024) actually correspond to this species. Therefore, the species belongs to Lepturges ( Lepturges) and not to Urgleptes .
