Lobrathium angelinii CICERONI & ZANETTI 2000 ( Figs 38-41 )

T y p e e x a m i n e d Paratype 3: Calabria CS, Fagnano Castello, Lago Due Uomini / 4.7.1988, m 1040, vaglio faggetta, loc. 52, leg. Angelini / Paratypus / Lobrathium (s. str.) angelinii n. sp. det. Ciceroni & Zanetti 1997 (cZan).

C o m m e n t s: In external appearance, the species is highly similar to L. anale . It is, however, distinguished by sparser puncturation of the pronotum, the absence of a pair of distinct processes on the male sternite VII (only a pair of short and weakly elevated keels present), and by the morphology of the aedeagus (shape of sclerotised internal structures, shape of ventral process both in lateral and especially in ventral view) ( Figs 38-41 ).
