Type depositories. Holotype, ♂ (PCRS), allotype, ♀ (PCJH), 4 paratypes: 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ (PCRS, PCGP, PCJM, PCJH).

Type locality. Greece, Parnassos Mt., 1700 m.

Redetermined material. Three paratypes of D. hladilorum from Macedonia (Galičica Mts.; Schimmel 1987) belong to D. macedonica (described later than D. hladilorum ; Schimmel 1993) ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 60 – 74 ). Some specimens recorded under D. hladilorum in Schimmel & Platia (2008) were redetermined as D. arndti (Taygetos Mts., Crete; 4 ex.), D. assingi (Kilini Mts.; 1 ex.), D. pelionensis sp. nov. (Mt. Pilio; 2 ex.), and D. vailatii (Kajmakčalan Mts.; 2 ex.).

Diagnosis. Dima hladilorum is a smaller species (body length: 9.4–10.0 mm; Figs 47–49 View FIGURES 45 – 59 ) with pronotum with sparse punctuation and shiny intervals, pubescence of the pronotal sides semi-erect along its whole length ( Fig. 137 View FIGURES 131 – 142 ), scutellum convex with its frontal margin steeply declined, and paramera robust, elongate ( Fig. 190 View FIGURES 182 – 191 ). This species is like D. zbuzeki sp. nov. from Agrafa Mts., however it differs from the latter by the less distinct pubescence on the posterior angles of pronotum, convex scutellum with medially emarginate frontal margin, elytral striae often indistinct or missing in the apical part, and by the shape of the apical lobe of paramera ( Figs 47-49 View FIGURES 45 – 59 , 116–118 View FIGURES 105 – 118 , 137 View FIGURES 131 – 142 , 162 View FIGURES 155 – 162 , 190 View FIGURES 182 – 191 , 221 View FIGURES 212 – 221 ). Dima fthiotidensis and D. evritaniensis differ from D. hladilorum in the matt, densely punctate pronotum ( Figs 26–28 View FIGURES 15 – 29 , 35–41 View FIGURES 30 – 44 ) and smaller apical lobe of paramera ( Figs 183, 186–187 View FIGURES 182 – 191 ); D. etoliensis by the shape of antennae (narrower, with longer antennomeres), flattened scutellum with gradually declined frontal margin, larger body with more parallel-sided elytra, and the distinct striae along the whole length of elytra ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 15 – 29 ). Dima pelionensis sp. nov. has a flattened scutellum, pubescence of the pronotal sides decumbent in apical two thirds ( Figs 152–153 View FIGURES 143 – 154 ), and the apical lobe of paramera shorter ( Fig. 209 View FIGURES 202 – 211 ).

Intraspecific variability. Some specimens have more or less indistinct elytral striae.

Distribution. Greece (Parnassos Mts.; Fig. 245 View FIGURE 245 ).
