Glomeris numidia Verhoeff, 1921: 28 (D), syn. n.! Glomeris numidia ��� Schubart 1953: 218 (L). Glomeris punica ��� Schubart 1953: 218 (L). Type material: Tunisia, Bou-Kournine (now Bou Kornine), date?, leg.?, ��� lectotype of G. punica Attems, 1900 (here designated) (NHMW 3910), paralectotypes: 5 ���, 1 ♀ (NHMW 3910). The designation of a lectotype (of 60 syntypes, see Attems 1900) seems advisable in order to ensure that the name-bearing type shows the diagnostically important characteristics of the male sex.
