Description

Phloeocharis longipennis FAUVEL, 1875

Phloeocharis subtilissima var. hummleri BERNHAUER, 1915: 69; syn. nov.

Phloeocharis hummleri was originally described as a variety of P. subtilissima, based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “Kreta” (BERNHAUER 1915). According to the original description, it is distinguished from P. subtilissima only by longer elytra and the presence of a palisade fringe at the posterior margin of the abdominal tergite VII. SCHEERPELTZ (1931) regarded the taxon as a distinct species. An examination of recently collected material (including a male) from Crete, which is in perfect agreement with the original description of P. hummleri, revealed that it is conspecific with P. longipennis FAUVEL, 1875. Since there is little doubt that the same is true of the type material of P. hummleri, this name is placed in synonymy with P. longipennis. The previously known distribution of P. longipennis ranged from the Greek Aegean islands Lesbos and Samos across Turkey to the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Israel) (ASSING 2004c, 2005c, SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). The record of P. hummleri from Hungary by TÓTH (1982) most likely refers to P. subtilissima MANNERHEIM, 1830.
