Notes.
In
Penati and Vienna (2005
,
2006a
) the specimen from Oristano (CUL) is ascribed to
Hypocacculus
(
Nessus
)
rubripes
and its label data are erroneously given as “Assemini, 1940, coll. Museo Genova” (see “Data collection”). Because it is a male, the dissection of the aedeagus allowed me to identify it as
H
.
ferreri
.
This is the second record for this species from the island, and a confirmation of what stated in the notes under
H
.
ascendens
