Abstract

The description of the male of Trigoniophthalmus graecanicus Wygodzinsky, 1941 (a previous study was only based on females) is here reported. Several samples from Greece allow us to describe the male and also to provide further morphological characteristics of the female that were not properly considered in the original description. The relationship between T. graecanicus and its closest related species T. alternatus (Silvestri, 1904), is also discussed.
