Théry (1947)
listed among other
Anthaxia
-species collected by the Monard´s expeditions also one specimen of
Anthaxia luctuosa

A. luctuosa
is a synonym of
A. albovillosa
Kerremans, 1913
(
Bílý & Kubáň, 2010
)
and moreover also a homonym (
A. luctuosa
Lucas, 1846
)—see

.
After having studied the specimen determined by
Théry (1947)
as
A. luctuosa
and compared it with the
holotype
of the recently described
A.
