Dima etoliensis Platia, 2012: 200 .

Type depository. Holotype, ♀ (PCGP).

Type locality. Greece: Etolia– Akarnania, Panetolikó Mts., Nerosirtis, 850 m.

Diagnosis. This species is known only from the large (14.3 mm) female holotype specimen (Fig. 25). It differs from D. evritaniensis Schimmel & Platia, 2008 and D. fthiotidensis by the shiny pronotum with sparser punctation (Figs 125, 126, 130) and the scutellar frontal margin flattened, declined gradually to the plane of elytra (frontal margin of scutellum convex, declined steeply in both other species). Dima pelionensis sp. nov. has also a flattened scutellum and shiny pronotum with sparse punctation, but it differs from D. etoliensis in the sides of pronotum with decumbent setae in the anterior two thirds ( D. etoliensis has the pronotal sides with semi-erect setae along its whole length; Figs 125, 152). Dima zbuzeki sp. nov. is smaller, suboval, and has shorter antennae (in females) with shorter antennomeres II and III (Figs 116–118). The most similar species to D. etoliensis is D. hladilorum, but D. etoliensis is larger, with a flattened scutellum, more parallel-sided elytra, distinct striae along the whole length of elytra, and antennomeres IV–X narrow, slightly more than two times longer than wide (Figs 25, 47–49). The sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix as in Fig. 226.

Distribution. Greece (Panetolikó Mts.; Fig. 245).
