Comments
The specimen of Cephalota littorea littorea (Forskål, 1775) with label “Jerusalem” from Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universität (Berlin) is mislabelled (see Gebert 1991[5]). All subsequent records of this species from Israel (Wiesner 1992[6]; Puchkov and Matalin 2003[9]) are in error.
In some publications (Abdel-Dayem et al. 2003[8]; Abdel-Dayem 2004[11]) Cephalota circumdata (Dejean, 1822) was recorded from the Sinai Peninsula (El Tor). However, the nominotypical subspecies of Cephalota circumdata occurs along the Aegean, Marmora, Black and Mediterranean Sea costs in the Greece, Bulgaria, western Turkey, and, probably Rumania (Franzen 1996[12]; Cassola 1999[13]; Gebert 1999[14]); Cephalota circumdata cappadocica Franzen, 1996 and Cephalota circumdata hattusae Franzen, 1996 live along banks of the salt lakes in the central Turkey (Franzen 1996[12]; Cassola 1999[13]; Gebert 1999[14]); Cephalota circumdata leonschaeferi Cassola, 1970 occupies the Mediterranean sea cost in southern France (including Corsica) and north-western Italia (Gebert 1999[14]); while Cephalota circumdata imperialis Klug, 1834 records in the Italia (Sardinia and Sicilia), south-eastern Spain (including Balearic Islands), Tunisia and Algeria, but not in the Libya and Egypt (Gebert 1999[14]). Most likely, the aberrant specimen of Cephalota littorea was incorrectly identified as Cephalota circumdata.
