Type material examined.
Hybalus demoflysi
:
holotype
, male: “Sidi Tabet,
II.39
,
R. Démoflys
” (
MNHN
)
,
paratypes
: 1 male and
1 female
with the same data (
CJBH
). The
types
of
H. servulus
are not available for examination (Synda Kheder, per- sonal communication) therefore we follow Baraud’s interpretation of this species. The photographs of the specimens from the Normand’s collection, provided by Synda Kheder, support this interpretation.
