Abstract

Alphasida (Alphasida) perezveraisp. nov. is described from areas near El Ejido, in Almería province, South Eastern Spain. It is a one of the glabrous species in a subgenus where most taxa have a peculiar velvety pubescence on elytra. This new species correspond to A. geminaKoch, 1944, not available according to the Code (ICZN 1999) because being originally described as Alphasida lorcana ssp. mendizabali forma geminaKoch, 1944, an infrasubspecific name as a fourth name added to a trinomen. Habitus and aedeagus of the new species and its velvety “homologue” species A. mendizabaliKoch, 1944 are illustrated.
