Paganetti (NHMW, cAss); 1 ex., Rethymnon, , leg. Franz (NHMW); I ex., Viano, leg. v. Oertzen (ZMHB). Diagnosis: - mm. Distinguished from the exter- nally similar M. fusculus by the male sexual characters: S'- posterior margin of sternite VII less deeply, more broadly, and more concavely excavate (Fig. 74); poste- rior margin of sternite VIII as in Fig. 75; aedeagus, es- pecially ventral process, of distinctive morphology (Figs. 72- 73). Comparative notes: M beroni is readily distinguished from other Eastern Mediterranean representatives of the M fusculus group by the male sexual characters, espe- cially the characteristic morphology of the aedeagus. Distribution and bionomics: Medon beroni is endemic to Crete, where it is less common than M cerrutii and where it is the only representative of the M fusculus group (Map 12). According to CoiFFAlT (1969), the species is cavemicolous, but both the absence of mor- phological adapations (pigmentation, eyes, etc.) and the recent records listed above suggest that it is only acci- dentally found in caves.
