Abstract: Rhodanthidium (Rhodanthidium) acuminatum (Mocsáry, 1884) Notes. The only known record of Rhodanthidium acuminatum from Morocco originates from Essaouira (formerly Mogador) in 1910 (van der Zanden 1998). Examination of the material cited in that publication revealed that it is no longer housed in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid, Spain) but is now part of the collection at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden (The Netherlands). Further inspection of the specimen determined that it actually belongs to Rhodanthidium sticticum s.l. (det. T. Wood). Consequently, R. acuminatum should be removed from the Moroccan species list.
