238 LO CASCIO & ROMANO

Lampedusa could be, respectively, the female of S. suberrata Invrea, 1957 and the male
of S. lampedusia Invrea, 1957. Pagliano (2003) reported from this island too an uniden-
tified male, which does not belong to any of the species of Smicromyrme occurring in
Italy. Finally, one more unidentified female was collected on Marettimo Island.

Dasylabris (Dasylabris) atrata (Linnaeus, 1767)
Mutilla arenaria F., 1787; Failla Tedaldi, 1887: 73 (Lampedusa); Costa, 1887: 142 (Lampedusa).

Dasylabris (Dasylabris) juxtarenaria Skorikov, 1935
Dasylabris atrataria Petersen, 1988; Arnone & Romano, 1995: 749 (Lampedusa); Lo Cascio,
2002: 78 (Lampedusa).

Dasylabris maura arenaria (Invrea, 1957b; Invrea, 1964; Matteini Palmerini, 1992) in-
cluded probably also specimens of this species, difficult to distinguish from D. atrata.
