Xantho sexdentatus ( Miers, 1881)

Fig. 86

Material examined

MOROCCO − Juby Cape ( Tarfaya ) • ♂ (28.2× 18.7), ♂ (28.1×19.7); Jul. 1933; MNCN20.04/41939 .

Remarks

These two specimens were mixed with X. hydrophilus MNCN 20.04/01215, a species closely related to it. Xantho sexdentatus has not been cited again since Monod (1933), probably due to misidentification with X. hydrophilus .

For identification, see also Miers (1881) and Monod (1933, 1956).
