Description of female. Like male, but with wider, more convex pronotum and shorter antennae, surpassing the hind pronotal angles by about 2.5 segments (3.5 in males) ( Fig. 104 ). The sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix as in Fig. 239 .

Diagnosis. Dima schimmeli is a medium-sized species (body length: 10.3–13.0 mm) with pronotal punctures of variable size, sparser on disc and denser near margins, with long, straight,dense, semi-erect pubescence on pronotum and elytra ( Figs 102–104 , 156 ), and long apical lobes of paramera ( Figs 214–215 ). It is the only longhaired species in the region ( Fig. 244 ). Dima schimmeli resembles the species from the north Peloponnese ( D. assingi , D. neumanni , D. schnitteri ) by the body shape and long straight pubescence, but it differs in the semi-erect (about 45°) pubescence on pronotum (erect in the Peloponnesian species; Figs 120 , 146 , 156–157 ).

Distribution. Greece ( Macedonia: Kerkini Mts.; Fig. 244 ).
