Cephennium espunae nov.sp. (Figs 9, 22, 49, Map 1)

Type material: Holotype ♂: "E - Murcia [13], Sierra de Espuña, Prado Mayor, pasture, 1140 m, 37°53'11N, 01°33'53W, 29.III.2007, V. Assing / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium espunae sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" (cAss).

Etymology: The specific epithet is the genitive of Espuña, the name of the mountain where the species was discovered and where it may be endemic.

Description: Body length 1.0 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 9. Eye rudiments composed of two (?) ommatidia without pigmentation. External and male secondary sexual characters as in C. filabresicum, distinguished only by the male primary sexual characters.

♂: aedeagus (Fig. 49) broad, 0.24 mm long; ventral process apically membranous and of quadrangular shape; internal structures small and weakly sclerotized; parameres fine and relatively short, not reaching apex of median lobe, and apically with a moderately short seta.

Comparative notes: Cephennium espunae is distinguished from the externally practically identical and geographically close C. filabresicum by a much smaller and differently shaped aedeagus.

Distribution and natural history: The type locality (Fig. 22) is situated in Sierra de Espuña, Murcia, South Spain (Map 1). The holotype was sifted from grass roots and moss in a calcareous stony grassland at an altitude of 1140 m.
