Elytra with shorter and adherent hairs. Scales on elytra elongate drop-shaped, green or brown to copper metallic, femora unarmed. Libya ( Type locality: Cirene) .......................... freyi F. Solari, 1940 – Elytra with longer and semi-raised hairs. Scales on elytra more circular, green to greenish-bluish metallic.................................................................................................................................................2 2. Head stout, rostrum very short. Eyes smaller, antennae and legs reddish brown and short, femora unarmed ( Fig. 1E, J ). Aedeagus short, conical, obtuse-angled and pointed at tip ( Fig. 2R, S ). Syria , Lebanon ( Type locality: Djebel Baalbeck) .................................. pseudoscythropus Desbrochers, 1875 – Rostrum longer. Eyes bigger and/or more bulged. Antennae and legs longer, at least femora darkened, and mostly at least metafemora toothed ( remark : no teeth were found on femora of D. alziari sp. nov. ; in D. geiseri sp. nov. there were always teeth varying from small and sharp to well pronounced and strong; in D. creticus and D. korbi there were all transitions from untoothed to small and sharp, toothed to strongly toothed)......................................................................................3 3. Antennae reddish brown, eyes big, semi-circular, protruding ( Fig. 1B, G ). Apex of aedeagus with very long spine ( Fig. 2P, Q ). Greece : Crete Island (= type locality) ......................... creticus (Faust, 1889) – Antennae darkened, eyes otherwise, aedeagus different.......................................................................4 4. Eyes big, less than semi-circular, protruding, head as Fig. 1H . Aedeagus laterally constricted before apex. Apex with short and rounded (blunt) spine ( Fig. 2 A-F). Western Turkey , Greece : Samos Island (= type locality) .................................................................................... geiseri sp. nov. – Eyes smaller and strongly protruding (almost or distinctly semi-circular). Tip of aedeagus different ( Fig. 2 G-O)...........................................................................................................................................5 5. Eyes protruding, distinctly semi-circular, slightly asymmetrically curved ( Fig. 1D, I ). Aedeagus broader, laterally slightly rounded, apex acute-angled and pointed ( Fig. 2 K-O). Turkey ( Type locality: Amasia ) .................................................................................................. korbi Schilsky, 1911 – Eyes protruding, less than semi-circular, symmetrically curved ( Fig. 1A, F ). Aedeagus slender, parallel-sided to concave, apex obtuse-angled and pointed ( Fig. 2 G-J). Cyprus ( Type locality: Troodos Mts) ................................................................................................................... alziari sp. nov. Further records The seasonally early-appearing species of Dichorrhinus are rarely collected and published data is scarce. Therefore, I add the following records, registered during examinations for the present study:
