Cephennium ibericum CROISSANDEAU, 1891 ( Figs 57-58 )

Material examined by C. Besuchet (unpubl.): SPAIN: 1♂ [syntype], locality not specified ( MNHNP) ; 4♂♂, 4♀♀: Granada, Alfacar, leg. Breit, etc. ( MHNG, NHMW) ; 2♂♂, Sierra Nevada , 1600 m, leg. Besuchet ( MHNG) ; 1♀: "sp. no 677", leg. Franz ( NHMW) .

The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes (probably a single male) from " Espagne, sans localité précise" ( CROISSANDEAU 1891). The material examined by Besuchet (unpubl.) suggests that this species is distributed in Sierra Nevada. The aedeagus, which is illustrated in Figs 57-58 , based on Besuchet (unpubl.), suggests that this species is closely allied to C. filabresicum .
