An updated catalogue of the Histeridae (Coleoptera) of Sardinia, with faunistic, zoogeographical, ecological and conservation remarks * Author Penati, Fabio text Zootaxa 2009 2009-12-22 2318 197 280 journal article 1175-5326 65. Hypocacculus ( Nessus ) ferreri Yélamos Literature data. Sassari prov.: Lago di Baratz [= Lago Balata (sic!)], 12.VII.1973 , LB, 1 ex ( Vienna & Ratti 1999 ). Unpublished records. Oristano prov. : Oristano , sd, UL , 1 ♂ ( CUL ) . Chorotype. 3.02 WME (W-Mediterranean) (see also Yélamos 2002 , not Mazur 2004 ). Italian distribution. Sardinia . Ecology. Psammophilous species occurring in the same habitats as the other Nessus species. 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 .
