Cephennium (Macroderus) cazorlae nov.sp. ( Figs 19 , 75-77 , Map 3 )

Cephennium foveolatum BESUCHET i.l.

Type material: Holotype ♂: "E– Andalusia (J), S. da Cazorla 1200 m, 06.10.93 Wunderle / Cazorla, Umg. Gualaquivirquelle [sic], Macchia, Kiefer / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium cazorlae sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" ( cAss).

Additional type material examined by C. Besuchet (unpubl.; with type labels " Cephennium foveolatum "): 7♂♂, 6♀♀: " Sierra de Cazorla , Besuchet " ( MHNG) ; 1♂, 3♀♀: " Sierra de Cazorla , 1000m, Franz" ( NHMW).

Etymology: The specific epithet is the genitive of Cazorla, the name of the mountain where the type locality is situated.

Description: Body length 1.4 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 19 . Colouration reddish. Eyes composed of approximately five ommatidia. Elytra with anterior sulci approximately as long as the combined length of the basal three antennomeres. Other external characters not distinctive.

♂: aedeagus ( Figs 75-77 ) 0.40 mm long; apex of ventral process of triangular shape in ventral view; internal structures large; parameres apically nearly reaching apex of median lobe.

Comparative notes: Cephennium cazorlae is distinguished from other Macroderus species only by the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.

Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated near the source of Guadalquivir river in Sierra de Cazorla ( Map 3 ). The holotype was sifted in macchia with pine trees at an altitude of 1200 m.
