Cephennium delicatum REITTER, 1884

The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Süd-Portugal " (REITTER 1884). Besuchet (unpubl.) examined a male syntype labelled "Puerte de Nava Lerada [Serada?]. Süd Portug." (coll. Croissandeau), which he intended to designate as the lectoype, and another male from "Umg. Coriscao, Picos de Europa 2100 m, Franz" (coll. Besuchet). Based on the illustration of the aedeagus of the latter male by Besuchet (unpubl.), C. delicatum belongs to the C. validum group. In view of the restricted distributions of other species of this group, however, it appears rather unlikely that the two males examined belong to the same species. Alternatively, one of them may have been mislabelled.
