Description
Aphaniosoma verecundum Ebejer, 1998
Figs 83–84
Material examined
CYPRUS • 1 ♂; Akrotiri Peninsula, 3km southwest of Kolossi; 30 Apr. 2022; M.J. Ebejer leg.; ruderal meadow and marsh; MJE.
GREECE • 1 ♂; Sterea Elada, Fthiotida, Thermopiles; 14 May 1998; M.J. Ebejer leg.; hot spring and marsh; MJE.
Remarks
This is a species of the collini group, having long anterior scutal setae, a reduced number of dorsocentrals to 1+3 (Fig. 83A) and prescutellar setae (Fig. 83B). There is no special development on the male hind trochanter (Fig.84A). It is best identified on dissection of the male hypopygium. The surstylus is relatively short compared to that of A. hackmani and A. harteni. The abdominal sternite 6 is distinctive, being small and transversely rectangular with protruding angles and a deep invagination into the abdomen at its middle (Ebejer 1998: 228, figs 81–83). The male hypopygium is illustrated in situ (Fig. 84B–C).
Distribution
Greece, Cyprus, Turkey (Ebejer 1998, 2021a). New record for Greece.
