Remarks. A little-known species. It was described from France ( Kiesenwetter, 1850 ). Known to us ( Gildenkov 2015 ) only from Spain , Morocco and Tunisia . It is here recorded for the Canary Islands for the first time. The indications for the countries of Central Europe, Ukraine , Turkey , and Uzbekistan ( Schülke & Smetana, 2015 ) are obviously erroneous due to the complex identification of the species. We studied the specimens from Spain , Morocco , and Tunisia which had monochromatic, red-brown, and rather long elytra. Specimens from the Canary Islands have shortened elytra with light front margins, which is more consistent with the original description ( Kiesenwetter, 1850 ). The species can be reliably identified only by the structure of the aedeagus ( Gildenkov 2015 : fig. 23: 6 ).
