Hájek, 2013 [p, red label]’. Current status. Scarabaeus ( Scarabaeus ) babori Balthasar, 1934 , see ZÍDEK & POKORNÝ (2008) . Remark. BALTHASAR (1934) described this species from an unkown number of specimens of both sexes. ZÍDEK (2008) found two males and one female in NMPC (in coll. Balthasar). He designated lectotype (male) and one paralectotype (female). Because there is no doubt about the authenticity of the second male, we have labeled it as an additional paralectotype .
