Socotracerus sp. 1

Material examined (2 spec.). YEMEN: SOCOTRA ISLAND: Momi-Homhil , 2.vi.2010, 1 ♀, V. Hula & J. Niedobová leg. ( NMPC) ; Homhil area , 12°34′25N 54°18′53″E, 400–510 m, 9.–10.ii.2010, 1 immature ♀, L. Purchart & J. Vybíral leg. ( NMPC) .

Notes. These females have elytra a little longer than prothorax compared to those of the extremely close N. delumbis sp. nov. In addition they are larger (5.8 and 6.8 mm, respectively), but in the absence of additional specimens and especially of males it is impossible to be sure whether they are a different species or a form of the preceding one.
