Abstract

Glaresishespericula sp. n. from the Cape Verde Islands (Boa Vista Island) is described and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. The new species is compared with similar and probably closely related species Glaresiswalzlae Scholtz, 1983. The differential diagnosis is mainly based on the different shape of meso- and metatibiae.

Keywords: Coleoptera; Glaresidae; Glaresis; Scarabaeoidea; Afrotropical region; Republic of Cabo Verde; new species.
