Type locality. “in agris cordubensis …”, “Cordóba ... cerca da Santo Domingo y los Lagares” (Graells, 1858). Cordóba is a town of Andalucia, southern Spain.
Type specimens. Not examined; preserved probably at MNCN.
Description. Body relatively long (18–22 mm); setae only black, mixed black and golden on tibiae; antennomeres black, antennomere III ca. 1.5 times as long as IV, XI ca. twice as long as wide (Fig. 5 A); pronotum without evident fore transverse depression; elytra (Fig. 5 B) with five black spots (2:2:1) and a narrow apical fascia, the middle external spot subcordiform and much bigger than the inner one; mesosternum as in Fig. 5 C; male gonoforceps slender in lateral view (Fig. 5 E), fused ventrally in basal two-fifths (Fig. 5 D); both aedeagal dorsal hooks closed to apex, the proximal one clearly longer and more curved than the distal one (Fig. 5 F).
Taxonomic remarks. Antennomeres are reddish in a single specimen, probably due to the conservation method. This species is phenetically highly distinct from others because of the elytral pattern and larger size.
In several studies, this species has been erroneously cited as amori. See García-París & Ruiz (2005) and García-París et al. (2010) for the discussion of this nomenclatioral aspect and of the synonymy with Zonabris korbi Escherich, 1891.
Distribution. S Portugal, S Spain.
