Deskripsi
The identity of a group of species around Oiketicoides tedaldii (Heylaerts, 1882) is discussed. The comparison of the taxa in question shows that there is considerable uncertainty about the taxonomic classification of the various described populations of Oiketicoides around the Mediterranean. The type material of O. tedaldii was found to be lost and therefore it is necessary to define a neotype, in order to maintain the stability of the nomenclature. The distribution of O. tedaldii and related taxa is discussed and morphological and molecular differences are presented.
