Comments.
In the Palaearctic catalogue (
REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b
),
Cyaniris maroccana
is listed as a doubtful synonym of
Smaragdina ruþmana
(
Lacordaire, 1848
)
. Examination of the
type
specimen proved that
Cyaniris maroccana
is a valid species and belongs to
Chilotomina
Reitter, 1913
. Based on the original description (WARCHA
Ł
OWSKI 2000
) provided with sufħcient drawings,
Chilotomina erberi
is proposed as its new junior subjective synonym.
