Microhoria fasciata fasciata (Chevrolat,

1834) ( Figs. 9‒11 )

= Microhoria caliginosa pannonica ( Kaszab, 1956a & b) syn. nov.

Only selected references containing Greek records and those with M. caliginosa pannonica are listed. Also see a note in Telnov (2022: 201) on M. fasciata helvetica ( Krekich-Strassoldo, 1929) and a new synonym below.

Anthicus fasciatus – Kiesenwetter 1861: 247 (record: Creta).

Microhoria fasciata – Uhmann 1989: 389 (record: ‘Hellas’).

Anthicus caliginosus pannonicus – Kaszab 1956a: 337 (description: ‘Hungaria occ., Siófok’ [ Hungary]); Kaszab 1956b: 168 (repetitive description).

Microhoria caliginosa pannonica – Nardi 2003: 59 (taxonomy, new combination); Chandler et al. (2008: 439 (checklist; distribution: Hungary); Telnov 2020a: 608 (checklist; distribution: Hungary).

92 Type material examined, M. caliginosa pannonica : Holotype ♀ HNHM ( Fig. 10B ): Siófok Lichtneckert [printed] // Holotypus [printed in red] 1956 Anthicus caliginosus pannonicus Kaszab [handwritten] [label red framed] // Photo ID: HNHM _COL_764 [printed]; Paratype 1♀ HNHM ( Fig. 10A ): Siófok Lichtneckert [printed] // Para - [handwritten] typus [printed in red] 1956 Anthicus caliginosus pannonicus Kaszab [handwritten] [label red framed] .

New material examined. 1♂ ADC: GRECIA: Messina , Giavola, 1.-2.V.2013 leg. F. Izzillo [printed] ; 1♂ ADC: GRECIA: Ilia , Kaifa 17.IV.2013 Leg. Izzillo [printed] ; 2♂ ADC: GRECIA: Amaia , Kalogria, 11.V.2014, leg. F. Izzillo [printed] .

Notes on Some Greek Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 ( Insecta: Coleoptera : Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy comparison of male terminalia and genitalia was not possible, but they considered to be within the known variation range of M. fasciata fasciata ( Figs. 9‒10 ).

Synonym. The studied types of M. caliginosa pannonica does not exhibit any morphological differences from similarly coloured Italian specimens of M. fasciata fasciata ( Fig. 10C ). Since the type series of ssp. pannonica is represented by females only ( Kaszab 1956a), Supplementary description. We provide photographic images of male terminalia and genitalia of this taxon for the first time ( Fig. 11 ).

Distribution. Albania, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Slovenia, eastern Spain, Switzerland. In Greece reliably known only from Peloponnese, the record from Crete by Kiesenwetter (1861) requires further confirmation. The W Turkish record is based on a misidentification (see Telnov 2022).

Chorotype. Europeo-Mediterranean (1.12 EUM).
