Description Habitus ( Fig. 2F ). Length: 6.5–8.0 mm. Palps yellow; antennae entirely testaceous. Anterior angles of the pronotum rounded and not protruding; lateral sulcus narrow. Base of the pronotum punctured. Legs pallid testaceous or yellow. Median lobe of the aedeagus narrow, arcuate near the distal extreme and with claw-appearance since the apex is abruptly directed down ( Fig. 3K ). Chorology Species with a narrow distribution: it is present only at coastal and saline interior localities of the meridional extreme of the Iberian Peninsula ( Fig. 5E ) and in North Africa ( Vives 1965 ; Bousquet 2017 ). Biology There is no published information about the biology of this Pogonini . The first record of P. smaragdinus in an interior locality of the Iberian Peninsula corresponds to the Laguna de Herrera, a saline lagoon in Antequera (Málaga, Spain ) ( Zaballos, 1986a ).
