Pseudepipona (Pseudepipona) cretensis Bluthgen. A 1942

Pseudepipona (Pseudepipona) cretensis Blüthgen, 1942 (Figs 3A–F, 10D–F) Pseudepipona cretensis Blüthgen, 1942: 310, ♀ ♂ (type locality: “Kloster Ankarathos (Ep. Pedhias, Ost-Kreta)” [Greece]); holotype, ♀, Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany. Diagnosis. Body with yellow pattern, legs predominantly yellow (Fig. 3A, D); apical margin of female clypeus approximately as wide as distance between antennal sockets, hardly emarginate (Fig. 3B); male F11 slender, apically rounded, without a tyloid (Fig. 3F); antero-lateral angles of pronotum in dorsal view almost rounded (Fig. 3A, D); scutellum and metanotum with yellow bands (Fig. 3A, D); punctation on T2 fine and sparse, interspaces exceeding diameter of a puncture (Fig. 3C); paramere very broad (Fig. 10D); ventral lobe of aedeagus moderately triangular (Fig. 10F). The only examined male shows a remarkably broadened and curved apex of the aedeagus and the apical part of the aedeagus proportionally much shorter when compared to the other species (Fig. 10E), but it is unclear whether this is a diagnostic character or just an aberration. Material examined. PARATYPES: GREECE: Ost-Kreta [eastern Crete], Kloster Ankarathos, Ep. Petihias, 27.V.1925, 1 ♂, leg. A. Schulz [MSNVE]; Ost-Kreta, Kolemodhis, Ep. Petihias, 28.V.1925, 1 ♀, leg. A. Schulz [MSNVE]. Additional literature records. GREECE: Ost-Kreta, Kloster Odhigitria, Ep. Pirgiotissa (Blüthgen 1942). Distribution. Greece (endemic to Crete) (Fig. 11).
