Quedius ramiroi SCHEERPELTZ, 1951: 163 View in CoL ff.

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype ♂ [aedeagus missing]: " Pe Ramiro, Penamaior, III-1940 / 22 / Typus Quedius Ramiroi O. Scheerpeltz View in CoL / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Holotypus Quedius ramiroi Scheerpeltz View in CoL , rev. V. Assing 2017" ( NHMW).

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a unique male holotype from the environs of "Peña major in Paços de Ferreira (Prov. Douro, Nord-Portugal)" ( SCHEERPELTZ 1951). Unfortunately, the aedeagus of the holotype is missing, so that an interpretation of this species mainly relies on the drawings provided by SCHEERPELTZ (1951). Externally, this species is characterized particularly by very dense and rather fine punctation of the elytra, as well as rather dense punctation of the abdomen.
