Abstract

The endophallus of Timarcha kiesenwetteri ssp. sagrensis is herein described for the first time. Its morphology is simple. It has a long basal lobe and a large medial lobe which narrows progressively to a small apical diverticulum. Timarcha kiesenwetteri is an extremely rare species from Southern Spain. It is so rare it has been found very infrequently in the last century.
