Abstract

Thyreus rasmonti Wood, 2023 Thyreus rasmonti Wood, 2023c: 16–24. Holotype ♂; Morocco, Sous-Massa, 5 km SE Tanalt; 13 Mar. 2022; T.J. Wood leg.; RMNH. New material examined. ALGERIA • 1♂; East Algeria: Collo; 14 Jun. 1944; K.M. Guichard leg.; T.J. Wood det.; NHMUK. Notes. The male reported here greatly expands the range of the species to north-eastern Algeria. The specimen was determined as Thyreus hirtus by Lieftinck in 1967 and reported as such in Liefitnck (1968). Based on males, both T. hirtus (Wood 2023c) and T. rasmonti appear to be present in Mediterranean Algeria; further study is required to determine the range limits of these species in North Africa. Regional distribution. Sous-Massa. Global distribution. Morocco and Algeria (Wood 2023c).
