Sciocoris
angustipennis Mulsant et Rey, 1852Sciocoris lautus Horvath, 1903 Sciocoris atticus Horvath, 1907 Sciocoris sulcatus cypria Lindberg, 1948 Identification Distribution Distributed in southern and south-eastern Europe, northern Africa and Asia. The original description by Fieber (1851) gives "Germany and Hungary" as type locality, but it has to be kept in mind that "Germany" at the time meant the German Federation ("Deutscher Bund") that included parts of Austria, Italy and other contemporary states. Thus, the record "Germany" does not necessarily constitute a genuine record for Germany in its contemporary borders. In fact, no additional record has since been reported for Germany; however, because all Sciocoris species are very similar, special care should be applied when specimens of this genus are identified, and the occurence of this species in the southern parts of Germany is not entirely impossible.
