Remarks. The recently described Cephalops lusitanicus Kehlmaier & Andrade, 2016 from Portugal stands very close to C. ultimus . A separation of these species based on external morphology and genitalic characters is provided in Kehlmaier & Andrade (2016). Female specimens of C. ultimus from the Mediterranean tend to have yellowish abdominal markings as seen in C. perspicuus . Hence, a closer look at the female ovipositor is necessary to distinguish the C. ultimus from C. perspicuus (see Kehlmaier & Andrade 2016).
