03BC87CCF35CFF8CFF40FECB72CDFA35.taxon	description	Description: Body length 1.3 - 1.4 mm; antenna 0.7 mm long. Habitus (Fig. 1) robust (body rather broad and strongly convex in cross-section). Body reddish-brown to dark-brown with the elytra at least slightly darker than head and pronotum. Eyes composed of approximately ten ommatidia with pigmentation. Antenna with antennomeres V and VII longer and more oblong than antennomeres VI and VIII; antennomeres X approximately 1.5 times as broad as long and XI approximately twice as long as broad. Pronotum approximately 1.2 times as broad as long, strongly convex in cross-section, posteriorly with weakly keel-shaped median elevation; punctation very fine. Elytra broader than pronotum, strongly convex in cross-section, anteriorly each with a transverse impression with tomentose whitish pubescence; punctation very fine. ♂: protibia apically strongly excavate and curved; metaventrite extensively and shallowly impressed; aedeagus (Figs 17 - 18) 0.38 - 0.40 mm long; median lobe subapically dilated and apically with a short median projection in ventral view; internal structures distinctive; parameres curved and slender, nearly reaching apex of median lobe, with moderately long apical seta.	en	Assing, Volker (2021): On the Cephennium fauna of Greece (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae).

03BC87CCF35CFF8DFF40FA1F706EFCA4.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: Like C. dilatatum, C. olympicum belongs to the C. perispinctum group.

03BC87CCF352FF82FF40FC3B7195F993.taxon	materials_examined	Cephennium jonicum, which was previously represented by two named subspecies, the nominal subspecies from Corfu and C. jonicum petraeum APFELBECK, 1911 from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, belongs to a group of species characterized by an aedeagus with a bulbous capsule and with two minute apico-median internal structures. An examination of material from various regions in Greece (including Corfu) revealed that these structures differ between populations. As a result of their small size, the observed differences are, of course, less pronounced to the human eye than those between aedeagi of species belonging to other groups with larger internal structures. In addition, the aedeagi significantly differ in size. Moreover, a representative of the C. jonicum with similarly small internal structures of constantly different shape was recently discovered also in Turkey (ASSING & MEYBOHM in press). Since, finally, there is neither zoogeographic nor morphological evidence (transitional conditions) suggesting that the differences found in the C. jonicum group should be attributed to intersubspecific rather than interspecific variation, C. jonicum and allied taxa (including C. petraeum) are regarded as distinct species. Besuchet (unpublished notes) examined another undescribed species from the Croatian island Mljet (" Meleda "); the internal structures of the aedeagus are illustrated in Fig. 50. Besuchet (unpublished notes) examined five males and two females of C. petraeum (" Neum a. M., Herceg. ", " Pravno, Hercegov ", " Hrasno ") deposited in HNHM, NHMW, coll. Dodero, coll. Cauchois, and in his own collection.
