Remarks. Holopyga lucens is related to H. enslini, known from Palestine and Turkey (Linsenmaier, 1959). Apart from shining, metallic green (vs. blackish, almost without reflections) coxae, trochanters and femora, it differs by the shape of the head in dorsal view, as large as pronotum, with posterior edge almost straight, and posterolateral angles not projecting rearwards (vs. head larger than pronotum, with posterior edge distinctly concave, and posterolateral angles sharply projecting in H. enslini); punctation of head and mesosoma scattered, with polished, shining intervals (vs. punctation denser to confluent, without shining intervals); enlarged, carinate, rounded, ventrally polished mesopleuron (Figs. 9A, C) (vs. unmodified, typically angulate, fully micropunctate).
