Literature records. Besides the type locality, no specific records have been previously published for S. dunavani. Sokolov and Carlton (2010) cite a molecular voucher of S. dunavani from “ GSMNP, Twentymile Trail. ” Sokolov and Carlton (2008) state that they studied material of S. dunavani only from “ GSMNP ”. Their fig. 7 shows the range of S. dunavani covering over 30 counties in Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina, citing “ original data ” as the source for the figure. However, these data are not apparently available and we have not seen any material of S. dunavani from Tennessee nor from most of the North Carolina counties that are shaded in that figure. Diagnosis. This is the smallest Serranillus species, with most specimens having an ABL of 2 mm or less. The median lobe of the aedeagus is distinctive in being elongate with a recurved apex and lacking large, sclerotized spines in the internal sac (Fig. 15 E). Redescription. Habitus Small for the genus (ABL = 1.79–2.03 mm), convex and ovoid, robust (Fig. 15 A). Integument Microsculpture indistinct on dorsal surfaces of head and pronotum, giving a shiny appearance. Head Relatively large (HW / PW = 0.73–0.75), antennomeres IV – X moniliform, slightly clavate. Frontoclypeal horn present, conspicuous. Ocular tubercles variable, present at least as a slight bulge, sometimes developed as a conspicuous hornlike projection below lateral carina. In some specimens, dorsad to lateral carina above tubercle on either side is a pale circular mark, more evident in teneral individuals. Two pairs of supraorbital setae present. Mentum with median pair of setae on tooth. Pronotum Relatively short (PL / ABL = 0
