Rhogogaster gayuboi
Llorente, 1988
: 361
–364.
Holotype
♂ (not examined, coll. Llorente).
Type
locality:
Spain
: León: Sorbeira.
Discussion
. The species was described based on three males from NW and C
Spain
(León: Sorbeira; Madrid: Montarco; Avila: Arévalo). The
types
could not be located. According to
Llorente (1988)
, the
paratype
from Madrid should be in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, but could not to be found there (Taeger
et al.
2014, M. Paris, personal communication). Without examination of the
type
, the exact placement in
Rhogogaster
remains uncertain. The shape of the penis valve resembles in some respects
R. scalaris
. Because their distributions and coloration are very different, as far as these are known, the possibility that
R. gayuboi
is the male of
R. magniserrula
may be excluded.
