Diagnosis. Dima giachinoi is a medium-sized species (body length: 11.3–14.2 mm) easily recognizable by the relatively short antennae ( Figs 42–44 ), shiny pronotum with moderately large sparse punctures on disc and denser on margins ( Fig. 135 ), flattened scutellum and long, semi-erect body pubescence. The sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix as in Fig. 230 .

Distribution. Greece (Euboea: Dirphys Mts.; Fig. 245 ).

Remark. We did not have an opportunity to study the holotype of D. giachinoi (deposited in the MRSN, Torino), but we studied all paratypes, which have the same locality data as the holotype. Due to the short antennae and type of body pubescence, it is possible that this species is conspecific with D. isabellae , which was described only from a single female specimen and occurs in the same area ( Fig. 245 ).
