Redescription BODY. Length 4.0–4.5 (males) and 3.9–4.7 mm (females), body width 1.4–1.5 (males) and 1.5–1.7 mm (females) (Fig. 4). Body color, pubescence and punctuation similar to that observed in S. angusticollis. ANTENNAE. Reaching the basal 4th part of elytra; the antennomeres 1 st and 2nd are almost equal in length, also equal in length are the 4th, 5th and 7th ones being the 3rd ones clearly longer than the 2nd one and the 8th nearly twice as long as wide (Table 1). PRONOTUM. Slightly transverse, maximum width at middle third part; the angles converge, smoothly from the middle area to the base in a straight line; posterior angles obtuse and rounded at vertex; sculpture and granularity well defned (Fig. 12). ELYTRA. Elliptical and elongated, maximum length/width ratio = 1.92–2.10 (males) and 1.86–2.04 mm (females), with overall shape of the species group and sculpture of “C” type (sensu Giachino & Vailati 1993). Male (Fig. 24) Features of the genital segment and aedeagus are similar to those described for S. angusticollis. Female The antennae are similar to those of the male, but the antennomeres are more transverse; 2nd, 4th, 5th and 7th antennomeres having similar length (Table 1). Pronotum less elongated; the overall shape and the ratio of width/ length ratio similar to that described for males (Fig. 13). Elytra elliptical and elongated with apical parts notched and serrated. 7th and 8th uroventrites, and genitalia typical of the species group. Remarks Speonemadus breuili is re-established as a valid species due to the clear morphological characters that differentiate it from S. angusticollis, which was synonymized by Blas (1989). This classifcation was subsequently followed by several authors (Giachino & Vailati 1993; Perreau 2000; Salgado et al. 2008). The main character used to re-evaluate its specifc status is the shape of the male protibial keel, which is shorter and with a more rounded ridge, but also because in S. breuili the 8th antennomere is less transverse, the elytra are proportionally shorter, and the female pronotum is more hexagonal and clearly transverse. In addition, Speonemadus verneri is established as a synonym of S. breuili and not of S. angusticollis (Blas 1989), due to the absence of relevant differences compared to S. breuili. Apart from the morphological differences pointed out, there is an obvious geographical isolation. Speonemadus breuili colonizes the southernmost caves in Spanish Andalusia, the provinces of Cadiz and Málaga, away from the distribution area of S. angusticollis. Biology and Ecology Speonemadus breuili is commonly found in the subterranean ecosystem, as are the other species of the group. Inside the caves, it is found mainly in parts rich in organic matter and with a high humidity. Distribution Speonemadus breuili is the southernmost species of the escalerai -group in the Iberian Peninsula, found in the provinces of Cadiz and Málaga. The limit of its northern distribution is established by the mountain ridge of Ronda. It is distributed in the Sierra de Grazalema and related foothills, while the distribution of S. bolivari is linked to the Sierra de Nieves and its foothills. Both mountain ranges are separated geographically by a wide valley of sedimentary material (Fig. 32).
