Discussion and differential diagnosis.
The new species from the south-facing slope of the Sierra Nevada (
Spain
: Prov. Almería) belongs—morphologically—to the
Kyklioacalles
teter-barbarus
group: with its "double integument of elytra and pronotum", which means that the space between the punctures is also covered with scales (Stüben 2006). These species don’t have any clusters of high erected bristles on the elytra. The new species
Kyklioacalles plantapilosus
must be compared with the most closely related species from
Tunisia
and southern
Spain
(Andalusia):
Kyklioacalles bupleuri
Stüben, 2004
(=
Kyklioacalles almadensis
Stüben, 2004
syn. n.
), and
Kyklioacalles anthyllis
Stüben, 2004
from the Sierra de Cazorla (locus typicus) and the Sierra Nevada too (see above).
