( Figs. 45-49 , Map 11 ) T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype 3: " Ibiza , Umg. San Miguel , lg. H. Franz / Sp 720-23 [overleaf] / Holotypus 3 Sunius ibizae sp. n. det. V. Assing 2007" ( NHMW ) . Paratypes : 2♀♀ : same data as holotype ( NHMW , cAss) ; 4♀♀ : " Ibiza , Sierra Grosa , lg. H. Franz / Sp 719 [overleaf]" ( NHMW , cAss) ; 1♀ : " Insel Ibiza , lg. H. Franz / Sp 726" ( NHMW ) ; 1♀ : " Umg. Ibiza , Insel Ibiza / Sp 726 [overleaf] / Hypomedon melanocephalus F., H. Coiffait det. 1966" ( NHMW ) . D e s c r i p t i o n: 3.5-4.2 mm . In external and sexual characters highly similar to S. mallorcensis , but distinguished as follows: Figs 42-49 : Sunius algiricus ( COIFFAIT ) , paratype ( 42 ), S. mallorcensis ( COIFFAIT ) , holotype ( 43- 44 ), and S. ibizae nov.sp. ( 45-49 ): ( 42-44, 48-49 ) aedeagus in lateral and in ventral view; ( 45-46 ) forebody of holotype (45) and paratype (46); ( 47 ) male sternite VIII. Scale bars: 45-46: 0.5 mm; 42-44, 47-49: 0.2 mm. Parts of head and elytra usually slightly darker than pronotum. Head as wide as long or weakly oblong; microsculpture on frons more distinct. Eyes more prominent ( Figs 45-46 ). Elytra longer and broader, 1.1-1.2 times as wide and 0.85-0.95 times as long as pronotum ( Figs 45-46 ). Hind wings of reduced length, but rudiments much longer than in S. mallorcensis . Abdominal tergite VII as in S. mallorcensis with or without narrow rudiment of a palisade fringe. 3: sternite VIII as in Fig. 47 ; aedeagus with similar internal structures as in S. mallorcensis , but apex of ventral process of different shape ( Figs 48-49 ). E t y m o l o g y: The name (noun, genitive) refers to the fact that this species is probably endemic to Ibiza. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The species is reliably distinguished from similar species only based on the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus. D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: AllthetypespecimensarefromIbiza, ( Baleares , Spain ), where the species is probably endemic. Bionomic data are not specified on the labels.
