Type material:
Holotype : "N35°11' E025°31', GR Kreta Lassithi, Selia Afhin 1000 m, Meybohm 10.3.2001 / Holotypus Alevonota cretica sp. n. det. V. Assing 2007 " (cAss) . Paratypes: 1 , 1 : "GR Ostkreta, Nordhang Katharo-Ebene, ca. 1200 m, Meybohm 15.4.2000 " (cAss) .
Description:
3.4-3.7 mm (abdomen extended); RL: 1.4-1.6 mm. Coloration as in A. rufotestacea .
Head as in A. rufotestacea , but more transverse, HW/HL: 1.08-1.13; puncturation more distinct and microreticulation shallower than in average A. rufotestacea . Eyes larger and clearly more prominent ( Fig. 41 View Figs 40-49 ), approximately as long as postocular region in dorsal view; EyL/PoL: 0.80-0.90 ( Fig. 42 View Figs 40-49 ).
Pronotum more transverse, PW/PL: ca.1.10; puncturation usually distinct; surface with shallower microsculpture and more shine than in average A. rufotestacea ; midline with very shallow, almost obsolete furrow ( Fig. 41 View Figs 40-49 ).
Elytra slightly longer than pronotum, EL/PL: 1.03-1.12 ( Fig. 40 View Figs 40-49 ).
: median lobe of aedeagus slightly larger than in average A. rufotestacea, ML : 0.33-0.36 mm; ventral process more strongly curved in lateral view ( Figs 43-44 View Figs 40-49 ).
: spermatheca of similar shape as in A. rufotestacea ( Fig. 45 View Figs 40-49 ).
Etymology: The name (Latin, adjective) is derived from Crete, where the species was discovered.
Distribution and bionomics:
The species is apparently endemic to Crete ( Map 1 View Map 1 ). The type specimens were collected in March and April at altitudes of 1000 and 1200 m. Additional bionomic data are not available .
