Scymnus (Pullus) medanensis Eizaguirre, 2007

(Fig. 6 A–H)

Scymnus medanensis Eizaguirre 2007: 109 .

Material examined. Montaña Cardon, 23.III.2017 1 ex. on L. arborescens; Cofete 07.VIII.2017 1 ex. on succulent, La Pared 05.VIII.2017 1 ex. and 12.VIII.2017 2 exx., all on succulents.

Distribution. Endemic Canarian species, described recently from specimens coming from Tenerife (Eizaguirre 2007). New to Fuerteventura.

Remarks. Eizaguirre (2007), in his description of the species, did not give a full illustration of the characters. Here we provide detailed illustrations of the male and female genitalia as well as the abdomen. The antennae possess 11 antennomeres (Fig. 6G) and the abdominal postcoxal lines are rounded, complete, reaching anterior margin (Fig. 6A), which supports the placement of this species in the subgenus Pullus Mulsant. The parameres are smooth on the inner margin (Fig. 6E) and shorter than the penis guide (Fig. 6D). The penis guide is very characteristic with its harpoon-shaped apex (Fig. 6E). The penis is strongly recurved with the apical part somewhat sinuate; a small membranous field is present at 2/3 of its length; the apex is membranous with a sclerotized, curved thorn-like process (Fig. 6H). Spermatheca as in Fig. 6B.
