In the description, Desbrochers does not indicate the size. He just precises it is described on a single specimen from Attica (“cette variẻtẻ est ẻtablie sur un exemplaire de l’Attique”).
Type
. The female
holotype
bears the printed label “Attica”, handwritten “
v.
rubripes
(
genei
)” and “
type
” and has been labelled “
Holotypus
Ψ,
Larinus senilis
v.
rubripes
Desbr., Gültekin & Perrin
des. 2005” [on red paper]; “
Larinus ursus
(F.), L. Gültekin det. 2005”. It is pinned through the right elytron and intact.
Remarks. It is evident that
Larinus senilis
var.
rubripes
Desbrochers
is conspecific with
Larinus ursus
(Fabricius)
, so that the current synonymy of
L. rubripes
with
L. brevis
(Herbst, 1795)
is incorrect. The following new synonymy is here established:
Larinus ursus
(Fabricius, 1792)
[=
Larinus senilis
var.
rubripes
Desbrochers, 1892
