Abstract

The study of specimens that are part of the Hungarian Natural History Museum helps fixing the identity and systematic placement of Dematochroma samuelsoni Jolivet, Verma et Mille, 2007, as closely allied to D. difficilis (Heller, 1916). Th e males of D. samuelsoni had been overlooked in the original description because of sexual dimorphism resulting precisely in the lack of the apomorphic character for the species in males. Th is situation is recognised here and the availability of male specimens is used to describe the penis of the species. With 3 figures.
