Diagnosis. Dima pecoudi is a large species (body length: 13.0– 15.7 mm), with typical very short, thin and decumbent body pubescence, clinging to the pronotal sides ( Fig. 150 ), very dense pronotal punctation with matt intervals, and elytra matt, with small, dense, fine punctures, with intervals microreticulated ( Figs 85–88 , 171 ). Male genitalia is as in Figs 206–207 . Dima pelikani sp. nov. shares with D. pecoudi the similar surface of elytra but differs in the semi-erect pubescence on the sides of pronotum ( Fig. 151 ).

Distribution. Greece (Ossa Mts., Olympus Mts., Mavrovouni Mts.; Fig. 244 ).

Remark. Two female specimens in the collection of G. Platia ( PCPG) bear labels " Greece, Col de Katara , 15.V.2000, G. Dubault leg.". The occurrence of this species near Katara Pass is very improbable and we suppose that these specimens were mislabelled.
