Germann, Christoph, Borovec, Roman & Braunert, Carlo, 2015, Four new Entiminae from the Mediterranean region (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Phyllobiini, Trachyphloeini), with additional data on the distribution of some poorly known species, Zootaxa 4040 (3), pp. 345-358 : 357

Cathormiocerus tenuiscapus Fairmaire, 1884

Material examined. 1 ♂, Morocco, 22 km east of Tanger, sifting of Sandsteilküste [steep sandstone-coast], niedr. Veget. [low vegetation], 35°50′17.3″ N 05°41′23.8″ W, 20m, 4.i.2001, P. Stüben lgt. ( PSMG).

Remarks. Borovec (Borovec & Bahr 2008) examined 160 females of this species, from Spain (Cádiz) and Morocco ( Tanger). The present record is the first discovery of a male. The male is externally indistinguishable from females except for the shape of the abdominal ventrites, with ventrite 5 shorter, apically broadly rounded and ventrites 1 and 2 shallowly concave, while females have ventrite 5 longer, subtriangular and ventrites 1 and 2 slightly convex. The penis is illustrated here for the first time ( Figs 32, 33 ).
