Abstract

Longitarsus ferruginipennis Fuente 1910 was described from Ciudad Real, Spain. Later, it was regarded a senior synonym of L. seticollis Mohr 1962. No other information about this species is available. In the current study, we compare the two species, concluding that they are different. A redescription of L. ferruginipennis and a new distributional record are given, as well as host plant and habitat data. Photographic images of the habitus and genitalia of the two species are shown.
