Besuchet mentioned in his unpublished notes, besides the nominate form, three subspecies with depicted genital drawings (internal sac structures): ssp. alpinum (Terme di Valdieri), ssp. despectum (Sanctuary Oropa), and ssp. vesulinum (Crissolo). Based on the available material, this can be considered as within the range of variation, and therefore, further details are not elaborated upon.	en	Kahlen, Manfred, Eckelt, Andreas (2024): Contribution to the knowledge of the Italian species of the genus Cephennium MÜLLER & KUNZE, 1822 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae).

Additional information of non type material: Numerous records from various locations in the Bosco del Cansiglio area; Agordo, Feltre / Monte Pavione, Passo San Boldo, Possagno, Conegliano / San Michele di Feletto, Montello (unpublished notes by Besuchet). E t y m o l o g y: The specific name derives from its predominant occurrence in the Dolomites. D e s c r i p t i o n: Habitus as in Fig. 63. Body length 1.05 - 1.1 mm. Body uniformly light reddish-brown and shiny, fairly dense and long hairs, somewhat erect. Head with individual isolated punctures. Punctures on pronotum and elytra equally strong, but more widespread on pronotum. The Pronotum is noticeably narrower than elytra in males and lacks a basal bump. In males, the tibiae are inconspicuous, without any particular features. Ventral side: ♁ with metaventrite shiny, almost flat, uniformly coarsely and densely punctured at the centre and its edges, becoming much finer and more widespread towards the outer sides.
