Besuchet (unpubl.) examined a male syntype labelled "Puerte de Nava Lerada [Serada?]. Süd Portug." (coll. Croissandeau), which he intended to designate as the lectoype, and another male from "Umg. Coriscao, Picos de Europa 2100 m, Franz" (coll. Besuchet). Based on the illustration of the aedeagus of the latter male by Besuchet (unpubl.),  C. delicatum belongs to the  C. validum group. In view of the restricted distributions of other species of this group, however, it appears rather unlikely that the two males examined belong to the same species. Alternatively, one of them may have been mislabelled.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B178795FFA77B43FF76FCE7FE354734	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Paratype ♂: same data as holotype (cAss) .</p><p>Etymology: This species is dedicated to Arved Lompe (Nienburg), who collected the type material.</p><p>Description: Small species; body length 1.0 mm. Habitus slender (Fig. 6). Head and pronotum reddish-brown; elytra dark-brown.</p><p>Eyes composed of approximately eight ommatidia. Antennae slender, 0.45 mm long; antennomeres VI and VIII weakly transverse, IX and X barely 1.5 times as broad as long.</p><p>Pronotum approximately 1.15 times as broad as long, with dense and fine, but distinct punctation.</p><p>Elytra slender; humeral carinae fine and short, approximately as long as the combined length of the basal three antennomeres; punctation dense and distinct.</p><p>♂: protibia moderately curved and somewhat excavate subapically; metaventrite distinctly impressed; aedeagus (Figs 44-45) 0.30-0.32 mm long and slender; ventral process apically of distinctive shape in ventral view; internal structures minute; parameres parameres long, stout, and straight, apically not reaching apex of median lobe and with moderately long apical seta.</p><p>Comparative notes: In external and the male secondary sexual characters,  C. lompei is practically identical to  C. australe . It is, however, easily distinguished from that species by a much longer ( C. australe: aedeagus approximately 0.23 mm long) and apically differently shaped aedeagus, both in lateral and in ventral view. Both  C. lompei and  C. australe differ from the representatives of the  C. validum group from the Iberian mainland by a much more slender habitus alone.</p><p>Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in the north of Madeira proper, to the northeast of Pico Ruivo. The specimens were sifted together with  C. australe .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B178795FFB77B53FF76FE3DFE2F4601	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, in other respects (shape of ventral process, internal structures), the aedeagi are identical (Figs 59-64).

(Figs 20, 70-71, 78, Map 3)</p><p>Type material:   Holotype ♂: "E. Andalusien (MA), Sierra de Bermeja, 350-1450 m, 26.III.1994 Assing / Holotypus ♂  Cephennium malagae sp. n. det. V. Assing 2020" (cAss)  .  Paratypes: 3♂♂, 3♀♀: same data as holotype (cAss);   2 exs.: "E– Andalusia, MA Sierra Bermeja,  Puerto de Penas blancas 1200 m, 26.3.94 Wunderle leg." (cAss) ;   1♂, 2♀♀: "E Andalusien, Sierra Bermeja,  Meybohm 18.2.2000 / N36°29' W5°12 ', Nordhang Pinsapow." (cAss) ;   1♂, 1♀: "E. Andalusien (MA),  Sierra de Palmitera, SO Ronda, 900 m, 24.III.1994 Assing 13" (cAss)  .</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet is the genitive of Malaga, the name of the region where this species was collected.</p><p>Description: Body length 1.3-1.5 mm. Body (Fig. 20) very broad. Colouration reddish to reddish-brown. Eyes composed of seven ommatidia. Pronotum approximately 1.3 times as broad as long. Elytra with anterior sulci short, approximately as long as the combined length of the basal three antennomeres. Other external characters as in  C. alacantae .</p><p>♂: metaventrite shallowly impressed; aedeagus (Figs 70-71) large, 0.43-0.45 mm long; ventral process of quadrangular shape, in the middle weakly projecting; internal structures as in Fig. 78; parameres apically reaching apex of median lobe (or very nearly so).</p><p>Comparative notes:  Cephennium malagae differs from other representatives of  Macroderus by a significantly larger aedeagus with a ventral process of quadrangular shape and much smaller and differently shaped internal structures.</p><p>C o m m e n t: Besuchet (unpubl.) examined material from various localities near Ronda and in the Rif mountains (North Morocco), which he assumed to belong to the same species (working name: C. kuehnelti i.l.). Based on his drawings of the aedeagus, at least the specimens from the environs of Ronda may belong to  C. malagae . Considering the restricted distributions of the Spanish  Macroderus species, however, it appears rather unlikely that the material from Morocco should belong to  C. malagae, too.</p><p>Distribution and natural history: The species was found in Sierra Bermeja and Sierra de Palmitera (a mountain in the Serrania de Ronda range), Malaga (South Spain: Andalucía) (Map 3). The specimens with labels specifying exact altitudes were collected at 900 and 1200 m, three of them in an Abies pinsapo forest.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B178795FF8A7B6DFF76FA81FC4740C7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
