Abstract: In conclusion, Ascalaphus italicus Fabricius, 1781 is a junior synonym of Libelloides coccajus ([Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (syn. n.) and a senior synonym of Ascalaphus meridionalis de Charpentier, 1825. There are two possible names for the Italian ascalaphid: Libelloides latinus (Lefebvre, 1842) (comb. n.), that is its valid name, and Ascalaphus petagnae Costa, 1855 which is its junior synonym.
