Kment lgt., 3 JJ 5 ♀♀ ( NMPC ) . Comments. Differences in the shape of the last abdominal segments in males of Malthodes besucheti besucheti and M. besucheti bucakensis were described and illustrated already by WITTMER (1970) , who wrote ‘[...] indem der Kopulationsaparat ein wenig in der Form abweicht und ca. 20/22 % grösser ist als bei dieser [ M. besucheti ]’. The aedeagus of M. bucakensis differs significantly from that of M. besucheti by the narrower and apically turned laterophyses and different apex of the ventral part of the aedeagus ( Figs. 19–20 ). I consider these differences as being of specific value and raise Malthodes besucheti bucakensis to a separate species, M. bucakensis .
