Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We describe Brachysomus bulbosus sp. nov. from Plav municipality in Montenegro. The habitus of the new species shows similarities with Brachysomus (Hippomias) albanicus (Apfelbeck, 1911), B. (Hippomias) commutatus Kostal, 1992, but also with B. (s. str.) deceptorius Białooki & Krátký, 2015. Based on characteristics of the head, vestiture and genitalia we suggest a placement in the Brachysomus simplex species group. The new species differs remarkably from all congeners by its comparatively bare, shiny and subglobose body.
