Aphaniosoma claridgei
Ebejer, 1998
Remarks
A species widespread in coastal localities around the Mediterranean that is difficult to identify without examination of the male hypopygium as there are several species almost identical to it in the same geographical area that are often collected with it. Some comparative details are given under
A. approximatum
above. A photograph of the habitus is given in
