Bekchiev 18.4.2010 / Holotypus  Cephennium liguliferum sp. n. , det. V . Assing 2020” (cAss). Etymology : The specific epithet (Latin, adjective: carrying a spoon) alludes to the spoon-shaped apex of the apical extension of the ventral process of the aedeagus in ventral view. Description : Body length 1.3 mm . External and male secondary sexual characters as in C. bodemeyeri and C. perispinctum : : aedeagus ( Figs 27–28 ) 0.55 mm long, slender; ventral process in ventral view with nearly parallel lateral margins, not constricted, with marked subapical angles, and apically with a long median extension, this extension apically somewhat spoon-shaped; internal sac with a pair of long and rather stout structures; paramere basally stout, smoothly tapering apicad, strongly bisinuate, and apically with long curved seta. Comparative notes : Based on the similar external characters and particularly on the similar structure of the aedeagus, this species is undoubtedly closely allied to C. bodemeyeri and C. perispinctum . It is distinguished from both of them by the spoon-shaped apical extension of the ventral process and by much longer and more massive internal structures of the aedeagus. Distribution : The type locality is situated in Strandzha Mountains, Southeast Bulgaria , not far from the border with the Turkish province Kırklareli ( Map 1 ). The holotype was collected at an altitude of 300 m .
