Type depository. Holotype, ♀ (PCGP).

Type locality. Greece: Etolia– Akarnania , Panetolikó Mts., Nerosirtis, 850 m.

Diagnosis. This species is known only from the large (14.3 mm) female holotype specimen ( Fig. 25 ). It differs from D. evritaniensis Schimmel & Platia, 2008 and D. fthiotidensis by the shiny pronotum with sparser punctation ( Figs 125, 126, 130 ) and the scutellar frontal margin flattened, declined gradually to the plane of elytra (frontal margin of scutellum convex, declined steeply in both other species). Dima pelionensis sp. nov. has also a flattened scutellum and shiny pronotum with sparse punctation, but it differs from D. etoliensis in the sides of pronotum with decumbent setae in the anterior two thirds ( D. etoliensis has the pronotal sides with semi-erect setae along its whole length; Figs 125 , 152 ). Dima zbuzeki sp. nov. is smaller, suboval, and has shorter antennae (in females) with shorter antennomeres II and III ( Figs 116–118 ). The most similar species to D. etoliensis is D. hladilorum , but D. etoliensis is larger, with a flattened scutellum, more parallel-sided elytra, distinct striae along the whole length of elytra, and antennomeres IV–X narrow, slightly more than two times longer than wide ( Figs 25 , 47–49 ). The sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix as in Fig. 226 .

Distribution. Greece (Panetolikó Mts.; Fig. 245 ).
