Cephennium validum group

This assemblage includes six named species from the western Iberian Peninsula and from Madeira characterized by small body size (0.8-1.0 mm), a usually more or less distinctly bicoloured and rather strongly convex (cross-section) body, moderately modified male protibiae, and particularly by a small aedeagus with stout and straight parameres and with very indistinct, minute internal structures.
