. Assing 2020” (cAss).
Etymology
: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from Kartal, the name of the mountain range where the species was discovered.
Description
: Body length 1.0 mm. Habitus as in
Fig. 20
. Punctation of pronotum much more distinct than that of elytra. Other external and male secondary sexual characters as in
C. marasicum
and
C. corruptum
.
: aedeagus (
Fig. 56
) short, broad, and apically truncate,
0.24 mm
long; internal sac with non-fimbriate structures of distinctive shapes; paramere apically extending slightly beyond apex of median lobe, with short apical seta.
Comparative notes
:
Cephennium kartalicum
is reliably distinguished from other species of the
C. corruptum
group only by the shape and internal structures of the rather small aedeagus.
Distribution and natural history
: The type locality is situated in Kartal Dağı,
Gaziantep province
, central southern
Anatolia
