Pilemia angusterufonotata, a rare species known only from South Greece and recently also from Albania [✧], has been described from Peloponnese (Greece) as Phytœcia (Pilemia) tigrina var. angusterufonotata by Maurice Pic in 1952 [✱].
This description was probably forgotten and the species was re-described by Carolus Holzschuh as Pilemia inarmata in 1984 [❖]. This name was recognized as synonym by Hüseyin Özdikmen and Semra Turgut in 2010 [✮].
