Abstract


A new species of Anillini from Cáceres (Spain): Geocharis leoni sp. n. is described. It is compared with related species and the morphology of the aedeagus is specially studied: the left paramere is long, large and flattened, and the apex is very unusual, because the terminal setae are transformated in three lamellar and membranous scales. In addition, other three long membranous lamella are present between the left paramere and the median lobe. The dorsal surface of the median lobe has some microserrate lines and campaniform sensilas.
