Iberus giennensis sp. nov.

Etymology

Twenty-seven of the 35 localities where I. giennensis sp. nov. was recorded belonged to the southern area of Jaen Province, most of them placed within the Sierra Sur mountain range ( Fig. 2 ). Therefore, it seems appropriate to use the Latinism assignable to the name of the province where the species mainly inhabits to denominate this new species.
