Description

Status of Pandarus libanicus Desbrochers des Loges, 1881

Several authors considered Pandarus libanicus Desbrochers des Loges, 1881 as a junior synonym of D. lugens Mulsant & Rey, 1854 (e.g., Gebien 1938, Löbl et al. 2008, Iwan et al. 2020). However, as noted by Koch (1948) Pandarus libanicus is in fact a synonym of Dendarus calcaratus Baudi di Selve, 1881. Both species share the same locus typicus (Mount Lebanon in Lebanon) and are morphologically distinct from the Italian D. lugens (Mulsant & Rey).
