specimens provide a limited amount of information in order to identify the very peculiarities of the species. In the original description Suffrian himself claimed: “ Actually, I have a fair number of specimens but all of them are poorly preserved so that the description will be completed in the future...”. However, after some hesitation, I decided to attribute two rather fresh specimens, a male and a female, to the present species. The following redescription of the taxon is mostly based on this new material.

specimens is clearly different in comparison with the other taxa, but it is impossible to evaluate the real effectiveness of this trait, being the pronotal coloration fairly variable within most of the species. Antennae are characteristically elongated in male. In the examined female specimens antennae are missing or strongly damaged, but they seem not to be as lengthened as in males. Similar antennal male elongation is also present in

Dorsal spicule strongly developed, twig-shaped, distinctly bent backwards. Sclerite II quite short, slightly bent at base. Sclerite III rather oblique so poorly projecting upwards, with arch slender and a long tapered apex. Branches of sclerite IV longer than sclerite III in the folded up structure, robust, with rounded, almost symmetrical apex and surface fairly microsculptured.
