( Fig. 3G )

Elathous chiarae Guglielmi & Platia, 1985: 192 .

Type depository. Holotype, male ( PCAG?); paratype, male ( MCSN).

Type locality. Greece: Peloponnese, Mt. Taygetos , 1700–1900 m .

Distribution. Greece.

Literature. Guglielmi & Platia (1985: 185, 192, 213): original description and figures; Cate (2007: 164): catalogue; Etzler (2019: 306): checklist.

Remark. According to the original description ( Guglielmi & Platia 1985), the holotype of E. chiarae should be deposited in MCSN, Verona, Italy, and the paratype in the collection of the collector and co-author of this species, Alfredo Guglielmi (Verona, Italy). However, only the paratype is deposited in the MCSN (Roberta Salmaso, personal communication), and therefore, we assume that the holotype is in the collection of A. Guglielmi.
