Zootaxa. 2023 Nov 22;5375(2):297-300. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.5375.2.11.

Abstract

The new species is similar to Calchaenesthes primis zdikmen, 2013 (Figs. 3-4) described from south Anatolia (Iel province) and was often mixed with it (Ambrus, Grosser & Hrbek, 2014; zdikmen & Cihan, 2018; Danilevsky, 2020). Recently I received a good series of Calchaenesthes from Cyprus, and see several important characters, which distinguish the island population. It is described below as a new species.
