Type locality. Sicily, Palermo, Madonie, Castelbuono ( Fig. 227 ).

Diagnosis. A large size Solariola (TL: 3.70–3.80 mm; BL: 3.05–3.10 mm) belonging to the doderoi group with quite slender body shape. Within the species group, it is easily recognizable by large size, body shape sub–elon-gate and cuticle generally black-brownish. Rostrum elongate (RL: 0.63–0.70 mm, RW: 0.40–0.45 mm, RL/RW: 1.50–1.58). Mesorostrum carinae just divergent to sides. Forehead convex (FW/MW: ratio 2.40–2.50). Submentum and laterally mesorostrum with thick and elongate pappolepida. Antennae long and thin (SL: 0.70–0.75 mm, FL: 0.95–1.10 mm, SL/FL: 0.68–0.70). Pronotum slightly elongate (PL: 0.80– 0.80 mm, PW: 0.75– 0.75 mm, PL/PW: 1.07–1.07) with many echinopappolepida at base. Elongate, dorsally vaulted elytra (EL: 2.20–2.30 mm, EW: 1.10– 1.15 mm, EL/EW: 2.00–2.00).

Holotype redescription. Male. See Figs 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e . Elongate body ( TL 3.80 mm, BL 3.10 mm). Black-brownish cuticle.

Rostrum elongate (RL: 0.70 mm, RW: 0.45 mm, RL/RW: 1.55), conical to sides but with pterygium very expanded. Epistome absent. Mesorostrum carinae just divergent to sides. Submentum densely covered by whitishyellowish pappolepida, also partially visible around mesorostrum. Interocular pit visible. FW/MW: 2.40. Vestigial eyes flat and visible.

Antennae thin and elongate (SL: 0.75 mm, FL: 1.10 mm, SL/FL: 0.68); AS ratio: 10.8.5.4.3.4.3.18. Scape clubbed, slightly more robust than funicle, curved at proximal third and progressively thickening towards apex. Funicle very long and thin; all segments with short and thin setae. Club three-segmented, fusiform, in length more than twice the width, densely covered by thin setae.

Pronotum slightly elongate (PL: 0.80 mm, PW: 0.75 mm, PL/PW: 1.07), wider in the middle and with thick echinopappolepida at base. Scutellum visible.

Elytra oblong elongate to sides, dorsally vaulted (EL: 2.30 mm, EW: 1.15 mm, EL/EW: 2.00), wider at middle with flat suture. Humeri obliquely rounded. Striae with 14–15 evident punctures, catenulate, not deep. Interstriae flat with thin setae raised and quite elongate. Elytral declivity> 60 degrees.

Legs slim and elongate with femora clubbed. Protibia with six–seven acute spines on inner edge and an evident mucro on inner apical angle. Protibia sinuous on inner edge and slightly curved in side view. Metatibia and mesotibia straight in side view. All tibia with noticeable apical comb. Tarsal segment 1 short, conical; segment 2 short and transverse; segment 3 very bilobed; all segments with thin golden setae. Onychium curved, robust and short with one short claw.

Male genitalia. See Figs: dorsal shape aedeagus Fig. 47 ; apex of penis Fig. 47 ’; IX sternite Fig. 90 .

Female genitalia. See Figs: spermatheca Fig. 133 ; VIII sternite Fig. 176 .

Sexual dimorphism. Males can normally be recognized by their smaller size, slender appearance, more round- ed humeri, legs stronger with a more noticeable apical mucro, and ventrites 1 and 2 slightly hollowed.

Paratypes variability. Paratypes, sexual dimorphism excluded, are similar to the holotype but differ in size.

Distribution. See Figs. 221, 221a. Sicilian endemic. Known only from Madonie around Castelbuono at 400– 1400 meters of elevation.

Ecology and Phenology. Unknown. Our repeated collections at the type locality gave negative results.

Main soil type. Vertic Cambisol ( European Soil Data Centre; Panagos et al. 2012) .

Reproduction. Amphigonic.

Associated species. Unknown.
