Treatment

Trechus gallorites Jeannel, 1936 View in CoL

Trechus (s. str.) gallorites Jeannel, 1936: 206 View in CoL ; locus typicus: Mt Chillalo, alt. approx. 4000 m.

Trechus gallorites View in CoL – Ortuño & Novoa 2011: 137.

Type material

Not studied. Identification of this species is based on its original description including figures of habitus and genital characters, and on additional material collected at the type locality.

Material examined

ETHIOPIA: 1 ³, Oromia, Mt Chillalo, alt. 3800 m, Dec. 2006, 07°54′ N, 39°13′ E ( CSCHM).

Identification

Within the Trechus fauna of Mt Chillalo, T. gallorites can be easily recognized by the moderately small body length (3.8–4 mm) and the hook-shaped apex of the aedeagal median lobe (see Jeannel 1936: 207, fig. 2). In this area, it is most similar to T. culminicola ; for identification see key to species.

Distribution

Probably endemic to Mt Chillalo. The species was found at altitudes of 3800–4000 m.
