Cephennium andujari View in CoL nov.sp. ( Fig. 51 View Figs 46-58 , Map 2 View Map 2 )

Type material: Holotype ♂: "E – Alicante, S. d'Aitana, 8 km N Sella 1390 m, 38°39'09N, 00°15'02W, leg. Andujar 28.3.2007 / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium andujari sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" ( cAss). GoogleMaps

Etymology: This species is dedicated to Carmelo Andújar (La Laguna), who collected not only the holotype of this species during a joint field trip with the first author, but also the type material of two other species described in the present paper.

Description: Body length 1.1 mm. Habitus even more slender than that of C. tensum . Pronotum approximately 1.1 times as broad as long. Other external and male secondary sexual characters as in C. tensum .

♂: aedeagus ( Fig. 51 View Figs 46-58 ) slender, 0.36 mm long; ventral process narrow, apically weakly convex; internal structures small and weakly sclerotized; parameres long, slender, straight, and with conspicuously long apical seta.

Comparative notes: This species is distinguished from the similar, evidently closely related, and geographically close C. tensum by a more slender habitus and a significantly smaller and differently shaped aedeagus.

Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in Sierra de Aitana, Alicante, East Spain ( Map 2 View Map 2 ). The holotype was collected by soilwashing in a stony pasture at an altitude of 1390 m.
