Dima lebenbaueri Schimmel & Platia, 2008: 582 .

Type depositories. Holotype, ♂ (SMNS), 22 paratypes: 13 ♂♂, 9 ♀♀ (SMNS, PCJM, PCRS).

Type locality. Greece: Pieria Mts. , Elatohori, 1000 m.

Redetermined material. One of the paratypes ( Greece: Kozhuf Mts., more than 80 km far from the type locality; Fig. 52 ) differs from the specimens of D. lebenbaueri from Pieria Mts. in the pubescence of pronotal sides and shape of scutellum, and is transferred herein under D. kozufensis sp. nov.

New material. GREECE: distr. Pieria , Pieria Mts., Elatohóri env., 1515 m, beechwood (40°18'48.19"N, 22°12'23.83"E), 5.VI.2013, 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, J. Mertlik leg. ( PCJM) ; dtto, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, V. Dušánek leg. (PCVD), dtto, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, P. Brůha leg. (PCPB).

Diagnosis. Dima lebenbaueri is a medium-sized to large species (body length: 10.0–14.0 mm), with pronotum with short straight pubescence, sides with straight semi-erect setae along the whole length, pronotal punctation fine, intervals moderately shiny, elytra with short, fine, more or less dense pubescence and interstices moderately shiny ( Figs 53–56 , 139–140 ). Dima lebenbaueri shares similar pubescence of pronotal sides and relatively long subapical parameral tooth with D. macedonica , however these species differ in the pronotal punctation (denser, double-sized punctures in D. macedonica ; Figs 141–143 ), body surface (more shiny in D. macedonica ; Figs 57–61 ) and pubescence of elytra (sparser in D. macedonica ; Fig. 168 ). Dima olympica differs from D. lebenbaueri in the long erect pubescence on pronotum and two types of hairs on elytra ( Figs 147 , 169 ), D. vailatii differs in the short curved decumbent pubescence of pronotal sides and surface of elytra ( Figs 109–113 , 158–160 ), and D. kozufensis sp. nov. differs in the more or less decumbent pubescence in anterior part of pronotal sides and emarginate frontal part of scutellum ( Fig. 138 ).

Intraspecific variability. The specimens from the type series (1000 m a.s.l.) are larger, more robust (13.0– 14.0 mm), have shorter antennae (surpassing hind angles of pronotum by about three antennomeres), and finely and sparsely pubescent elytra ( Figs 53–54 ). The specimens from the higher elevations (1515 m a.s.l.) are smaller (10.0– 11.5 mm), have longer antennae (surpassing hind angles of pronotum by about four antennomeres), and denser elytral pubescence ( Figs 55–56 ).

Distribution. Greece (Pieria Mts.; Fig. 244 ).
