Sunius cordobanus ASSING, 2008 View in CoL

( Figs 29-35 View Figs 29-35 )

Material examined:

Spain: 9 exs., Córdoba, Sierra de Cabra , El Navazuelo Cabra, 4.IV.2007, leg. M. Baena (cAss) .

One of the two paratypes is a male, not a female as indicated in the original description.

Previously, the species was known only from the type locality, the Sierra de Córdoba to the north of the town of Córdoba in Andalucía. In view of the fact that the species of the S. seminiger group are generally local endemics, it seems quite remarkable that the above material was collected in the Sierra de Cabra, which is separated from the Sierra de Córdoba by a broad and deep valley. However, a thorough comparison of the male primary and secondary sexual characters yielded no significant differences, suggesting that both populations are conspecific. For illustrations of the external and the male sexual characters of the specimens from the Sierra de Cabra see Figs 29-35 View Figs 29-35 .
