6.Dioxys heinrichiWarncke, 1977 Fig. 9 A – F Dioxys heinrichi Warncke, 1977: 275, ♀ ♂ [Algeria, MSCA, not examined]. Material examined. Morocco • 1 ♂; S. Morocco, High Atlas, Tizi-n-Test road; 1000–2000 m a. s. l.; 20–21 May 1975; G. R. & A. C. Else leg.; K. Warncke det.; NHMUK (paratype; redetermined as D. maroccana by D. Baker, 1980) (Fig. 9 A – F) • 1 ♂; T. Talrhemt [probably Jebel Talrhemt]; 28 May 1984; K. M. Guichard leg.; M. Schwarz det.; NHMUK. Remarks. Dioxys heinrichi was considered by Donald Baker to be conspecific with D. maroccanus, with this latter taxon therefore having priority. This position was never published, but Baker’s determination label is present on a paratype of D. heinrichi in the NHMUK collection (Fig. 9 A). Examination of the holotype of D. maroccanus via photograph (Fig. 14 A – D; see Section 13 on D. varipes) shows that Baker’s position was incorrect; D. maroccanus can clearly be separated from D. heinrichi due to the long scutal hairs of the latter species which are long and clearly exceed the diameter of a lateral ocellus in length (Fig. 9 B), whereas they are clearly shorter than the diameter of a lateral ocellus in D. maroccanus (Fig. 14 B). The main type series of D. heinrichi will be deposited in the OÖLM in the future. Distribution. Morocco and Algeria (Warncke 1977).
