Type locality. “in agris cordubensis …”, “Cordóba ... cerca da Santo Domingo y los Lagares” ( Graells, 1858). Cordóba is a town of Andalucia, southern Spain.

Type specimens. Not examined; preserved probably at MNCN.

Description. Body relatively long (18–22 mm); setae only black, mixed black and golden on tibiae; antennomeres black, antennomere III ca. 1.5 times as long as IV, XI ca. twice as long as wide ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 A); pronotum without evident fore transverse depression; elytra ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 B) with five black spots (2:2:1) and a narrow apical fascia, the middle external spot subcordiform and much bigger than the inner one; mesosternum as in Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 C; male gonoforceps slender in lateral view ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E), fused ventrally in basal two-fifths ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 D); both aedeagal dorsal hooks closed to apex, the proximal one clearly longer and more curved than the distal one ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 F).

Taxonomic remarks. Antennomeres are reddish in a single specimen, probably due to the conservation method. This species is phenetically highly distinct from others because of the elytral pattern and larger size.

In several studies, this species has been erroneously cited as amori . See García-París & Ruiz (2005) and García-París et al. (2010) for the discussion of this nomenclatioral aspect and of the synonymy with Zonabris korbi Escherich, 1891 .

Distribution. S Portugal, S Spain.
