Paraeumigus diversipes Uvarov, 1927

Material examined. Morocco, High Atlas, Dj. Tachdirt, ♂ paratype (MNCN).

This taxon, collected at 3,000 m a.s.l., following Uvarov (1927) differs from P. parvulus mainly in the colouration of the hind legs. La Greca (1993) did not confirm the colour difference between the two species, but considered P. diversipes ( Fig. 123 ) as a valid species, much related to P. parvulus , differing from it mainly for the shape of the phallic complex, which shows aedeagus valves more slender than that of the latter species, ending in a sub-acute angle ( Fig. 124 ).
