Comments: One of the syntypes of Lithocharis picea is conspecific with M. brunneus (Erichson), the others are in agreement with the long-standing interpretation of the species. Since the type series is a mixture of two spe- cies, a lectotype designation is mandatory, in order to unambiguously define the name; the male in better con- dition was selected as the lectotype. In the original description of M. murciensis, which is based on a single male, COIFFAIT (1970a) compares the spe- cies with M. ripicola (Kraatz). An examination of the holotype revealed, however, that it is conspecific with M. piceus (Kraatz), so that the junior name M. murcien- sis is here placed in the synonymy of that species.
