Abstract

The taxonomic reasons for regarding L. draperi Séguy, 1933, sp. rev., as a valid species instead of a synonym of L. tentaculata (De Geer, 1776) and for treating L. quaerens Villeneuve, 1936, syn. n., as a junior synonym of L. sericipalpis Stein, 1904 are given. A revised key for the Palaearctic members of the Lispe tentaculata species-group is given. Data on ecology, distribution and feeding preferences are provided.
