Remarks.
Holopyga enslini
differs from the West Mediterranean species of the
H. miranda
group by the ventrally metallic red, instead of black or blackish, mesosoma. It is related to
H. lucens
Rosa, 2018
, described from Central Asia, yet with blackish, almost without reflections, coxae, trochanters and femora (vs. shining metallic green in
H. lucens
). Moreover, it differs from
H. lucens
by the shape of the head in dorsal view, larger than pronotum, with posterior edge distinctly concave, and posterolateral angles sharply projecting rearwards (vs. as large as pronotum, with posterior edge almost straight, and posterolateral angles not projecting); head and mesosoma punctation denser to confluent, without shining intervals (vs. scattered, with polished, shining intervals); and unmodified, fully micropunctate and ventrally angulate lower mesopleuron (vs. enlarged, carinate, ventrally polished and rounded).
