Hesperocorixa
sp.
Corixa parallela
Fieber
:
De Carlini (1901
: 78)
;
Sangiorgi (1903: 92)
. Misidentification (suspected).
Published material.
“Liscuri (m. 100)” (
De Carlini 1901
), “Lixuri” (
Sangiorgi 1903
).
Remarks.
Although
H. parallela
was originally described from the “Greek Archipelago” (
Fieber 1860; see below
), the record of it from Cephalonia seems improbable since it is a predominantly montane species (see
Bacchi & Rizzotti Vlach 2007
) and this specimen was collected at low elevation (see
De Carlini 1901
,
Sangiorgi 1903
). This record probably was a misidentification of the similar
H. sahlbergi
(Fieber, 1848)
, which occurrs on Corfu (see
Jansson 1986
,
Csabai
et al.
2017
).
The name
Corixa parallela
proposed by
Fieber (1860)
on material “aus dem griechischen Archipel [= from the Greek Archipelago]” possibly originally pertained to another species of
Corixidae
rather than to the
neotype
chosen by A.
Jansson (Jansson 1986
: 50), which was from a mountainous area in
Macedonia
(FYROM) at
1179 m
a.s.l.
