Type material examined: Holotype : “ N41°25'53 E31°57'51 (24), TR Zonguldak 1.5.2014, Caycuma w 570 m, Brachat & Meybohm / Holotypus  Cephennium digitale sp. n., det. V. Assing 2020” (cAss). GoogleMaps

Etymology: The specific epithet (Latin, adjective: of a/the finger) alludes to the finger-shaped spines in the internal sac of the aedeagus.

Description: Body length 1.4 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 12 View Figs 9–16 . Colouration: body dark-reddish. External characters as in C. spinigerum .

: protibia subapically not curved, weakly excavate in apical portion; aedeagus ( Figs 44–45 View Figs 36–47 ) 0.39 mm long; apex of ventral process of narrowly triangular shape in ventral view; internal sac with several horn- or fingershaped structures of various sizes and shapes; parameres thin, not sinuate, extending to apical third of ventral process.

Comparative notes: Cephennium digitale differs from the similar and geographically close C. spinigerum only by a more slender aedeagus with fewer internal spines of different shapes.

Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in Zonguldak province, Northwest Anatolia ( Map 2 View Map 2 ). The holotype was sifted from litter in a beech forest with rhododendron undergrowth at an altitude of 570 m.
