Myelois rhodochrella was described based on single female from Amasia ( Turkey ). Two specimens (male and female) from Amasia bear the labels “coll. Lederer” (coll. MfN), but they are not designated as “types”. We suggest a holotype is a female in accordance to Herrich-Schäffer’s description. The Roesler’s designation (1973: 424) a male from Lambese [ Algeria ] as type of M. rhodochrella is incorrect. The species was recently re-diagnosed and the genitalia of both sexes were illustrated ( Bidzilya et al . 2019: 451 , figs 22, 31a, 32b, 45, 71). Distribution. The species is known with certainty from Spain , Algeria , Russia ( Volgograd and Orenburg regions), Georgia ( first record ), Turkey and Iran ( Roesler 1973 ).
