Abstract


Abundant material belonging to the genus Eucephalobus Steiner, 1936, collected in soils mainly from natural areas of Andalucía Oriental (SE Iberian Peninsula), yielded four species that are studied in this paper: E. hooperi Marinari-Palmisano, 1967, E. mucronatus (Kozlowska et Roguska-Wasilewska, 1963) Andrássy, 1967, E. oxyuroides (De Man, 1876) Steiner, 1936 y E. striatus (Bastian, 1865) Thorne, 1937. All the species are described in detail, and both illustrations, including SEM photographs, and tables for their measurements are also provided. A brief discussion on these and other Iberian species of the genus is made, and a key to species identification is given. E. hooperi is recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula.
