Description

4.36. Sunius klapperichi (COIFFAIT 1981) (Map 14)

Hypomedon klapperichi COIFFAIT 1981b: 16 ff.

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype ♀: "S. Jordan, J. Klapperich / Wadi Wala, südl. Madaba, 500 m, 9.2.1958 / u. Steinen / Type / Hypomedon klapperichi H. Coiffait 1980 / Sunius klapperichi det. V. Assing 2007" (MHNG).

C o m m e n t s: The original description is based on a holotype and a paratype, both females, from " Jordanie méridionale, Wadi Wala au sud de Madaba " (COIFFAIT 1981b). The holotype is externally indistinguishable from S. hypogaeus and allied species. Since the type locality is some 200 km away from the known distribution of S. hypogaeus (Map 14), it seems likely that S. klapperichi represents a distinct species. However, since the male sexual characters are unknown, its identity must remain doubtful until males from the vicinity of the type locality become available.
