Pseudomeira aeolica Bellò et al., 1997: 69 View in CoL ; Lo Cascio & Pasta, 2004: 464; Osella et al., 2005; Abbazzi & Maggini, 2009: 61. Pseudomeira vitalei: Magnano & Osella, 1973: 105 View in CoL .

Type locality: Salina Island, Malfa.

Diagnosis: Small to middle-sized (3.0– 4.1 mm) globose-elongate. Epistoma impressed, clypeus flat and longitudinally impressed in middle. Elytra clothed with golden or silvery scales just slightly imbricate and long thin suberect setae. Apex of aedeagus broadly rounded.

Description: See Bellò, Pesarini & Pierotti (1997).

Distribution: Aeolian Islands.

Material: A total of 112 specimens, included the holotype in MMI. Genitalia of 4 were studied.

Localities: Salina Island: Malfa ( BEL, OSE, PIE), Val di Chiesa (OSE); Lipari Island ( BEL, MMI, PIE, STE); Alicudi Island ( BEL, MMI, PES, PIE); Filicudi Island ( BAV, BEL); Stromboli Island ( BAV, BEL).

Ecology: One of us (Bellò) collected several adults at the beginning of summer sifting under Artemisia sp. and Cistus sp., in spite of temperatures around 40°C.

Reproduction: Amphigonic.

Notes: Although some divergence exists between specimens collected in different islands of the Aeolian archipelago, at the moment we consider all of them as belonging to the same species waiting the collection of more abundant material.
