Although Candèze (1891a) used the spelling " perezi ", this was not followed by the subsequent authors (e.g., Sánchez-Ruiz 1996, Schimmel 1996a, Cate 2007), and therefore " perezii " has been in prevailing use.Published as part of Kundrata, Robin, Musalkova, Marketa & Kubaczkova, Magdalena, 2018, Annotated catalogue of the click-beetle tribe Dimini (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dendrometrinae), pp. 1-75 in Zootaxa 4412 (1) on page 15, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4412.1, http://zenodo.org/record/122188

Dima isabellae Dajoz 1973
No full textDima isabellae Dajoz, 1973 Fig. 245. Dima isabellae Dajoz, 1973: 103; Chassain 1984: 92; Schimmel 1996: 142; Wurst 1997: 4; Cate 2007: 184; Schimmel & Platia 2008: 581. Type depository. Holotype, ♀ (MHNP?). Type locality. Greece: Euboea, Mt. Dirphys [Ile d'Eubée, mont Dirphys vers 1400 m]. Diagnosis. Dima isabellae is known only from the female holotype, which is not available for study (Schimmel 1996, pers. comm.). Therefore, we must rely only on the original description (Dajoz 1973). Dima isabellae is a medium-sized species (body length: 12.5 mm) with relatively short antennae, moderately long pubescence, and dense punctation on the pronotum (Dajoz 1973). This species occurs in Dirphys Mts. together with D. giachinoi, which has also short antennae and dense pubescence of pronotum (Figs 42–44, 135). It is possible, that D. isabellae was described from the specimen with denser, non-typical pronotal punctation (see similar situations in D. assingi / D. peloponnensis and D. fthiotidensis / D. scutellaris) and that the specimens determined later as D. giachinoi are conspecific with D. isabellae. However, until we find specimens with very dense pronotal punctation, as in D. isabellae, within a population of D. giachinoi, we refrain from making any taxonomic conclusions. Distribution. Greece (Euboea: Dirphys Mts.; Fig. 245). Remark. The type material has not been located. The material mentioned under D. isabellae by Schimmel & Platia (2008) was redetermined and belongs to D. arndti (Taygetos Mts.; 4 ex.), D. assingi (Kilini Mts.; 1 ex.) and D. parnonensis (Parnon Mts.; 1 ex.).Published as part of Mertlik, Josef, Németh, Tamás & Kundrata, Robin, 2017, Revision of the flightless click-beetle genus Dima Charpentier, 1825 (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dimini) in the Balkan Peninsula, pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 4220 (1) on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4220.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/467078

Dima etoliensis Platia 2012
No full textDima etoliensis Platia, 2012 Figs 25, 125, 226, 245. Dima etoliensis Platia, 2012: 200. Type depository. Holotype, ♀ (PCGP). Type locality. Greece: Etolia– Akarnania, Panetolikó Mts., Nerosirtis, 850 m. Diagnosis. This species is known only from the large (14.3 mm) female holotype specimen (Fig. 25). It differs from D. evritaniensis Schimmel & Platia, 2008 and D. fthiotidensis by the shiny pronotum with sparser punctation (Figs 125, 126, 130) and the scutellar frontal margin flattened, declined gradually to the plane of elytra (frontal margin of scutellum convex, declined steeply in both other species). Dima pelionensis sp. nov. has also a flattened scutellum and shiny pronotum with sparse punctation, but it differs from D. etoliensis in the sides of pronotum with decumbent setae in the anterior two thirds (D. etoliensis has the pronotal sides with semi-erect setae along its whole length; Figs 125, 152). Dima zbuzeki sp. nov. is smaller, suboval, and has shorter antennae (in females) with shorter antennomeres II and III (Figs 116–118). The most similar species to D. etoliensis is D. hladilorum, but D. etoliensis is larger, with a flattened scutellum, more parallel-sided elytra, distinct striae along the whole length of elytra, and antennomeres IV–X narrow, slightly more than two times longer than wide (Figs 25, 47–49). The sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix as in Fig. 226. Distribution. Greece (Panetolikó Mts.; Fig. 245).Published as part of Mertlik, Josef, Németh, Tamás & Kundrata, Robin, 2017, Revision of the flightless click-beetle genus Dima Charpentier, 1825 (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dimini) in the Balkan Peninsula, pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 4220 (1) on pages 13-14, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4220.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/467078
Constraints and opportunities facing women entrepreneurs in developing countries: a relational perspective
No full textPurpose: this purpose of the paper to examine the interplay of constraints and opportunities affecting female entrepreneurship in developing countries. The paper integrates salient micro- and macro-level perspectives and provides a rounded account of opportunities and constraints as part of a holistic interdependent system.Design/methodology/approach: the paper adopts an integrative multi-level research design and an interpretive research methodology, capitalizing on in-depth interviews with ten women entrepreneurs to explore their perceptions and interpretations of constraints and opportunities facing female entrepreneurship in the Lebanese context.Findings: the findings presented in this paper clearly illustrate the relevance of micro-, meso-, and macro-level factors in entrepreneurship research and the usefulness of integrating multiple lens and units of analysis to capture the complexity of the women entrepreneurship experience in any particular context.Originality/value: the value added of this research lies in adapting a framework recently popularized in the context of diversity management for use in entrepreneurship research, helping to capture in turn the dynamic interplay of multiple levels of analysis and objective/subjective factors influencing female entrepreneurshi
Dima hirtipennis Platia 2011
No full textDima hirtipennis Platia, 2011 Figs 45, 136, 167, 231, 246. Dima hirtipennis Platia, 2011: 49. Type depository. Holotype, ♀ (PCGP). Type locality. Greece: nom. Lakonia, Taigetos Mts., Profitis Ilias [Prof. Elias], 1940 m. Diagnosis. Dima hirtipennis is an easily recognizable species by its very long semi-erect to erect pubescence all over the body (Figs 45, 136, 167). The similar pubescence is known only in D. olympica Meschnigg, 1934 from Mt. Olympus, but that species has two types of hairs on the elytra (long erect and short decumbent; Fig. 169). Several Dima species from the Peloponnese have also erect pubescence on the pronotum, but shorter (Figs 120, 146, 157). Additionally, they have decumbent to semi-erect short pubescence on the elytra (Figs 6–9, 67–74, 105– 108). Dima hirtipennis has tiny antennae with long antennal segments (more than 2 times longer than wide in antennomeres IV–X), and the sclerites of bursa copulatrix which are distinctly thinner than in other known Dima species (Fig. 231). Distribution. Greece (Peloponnese: Taygetos Mts.; Fig. 246). Remark. This species is known only from the female holotype (Fig. 45). There is a single male specimen collected in the Mani Peninsula, Peloponnese, with the following data: " Peloponnese [Peloponnesus], Mani peninsula, nr. Langada village, 350 m, 16.II.1991, ♂, G. Kakiopoulos leg." (PCGK) (Fig. 45; male genitalia as in Fig. 189). This specimen resembles D. hirtipennis by its long, semi-erect to erect body vestiture and elongate antennomeres IV–X (Figs 45–46), but can be distinguished by having a darker body (light brown in D. hirtipennis), different shape of pronotum, with slightly longer pubescence on the pronotal sides, and straight frontal margin of scutellum (distinctly emarginate in D. hirtipennis). Since we have only two specimens from different sexes available for the study, we cannot assess what is the the sexual dimorphism and what is the interspecific difference. Therefore, it seems the best approach is to postpone any taxonomic decision until more material from the southern Peloponnese is available.Published as part of Mertlik, Josef, Németh, Tamás & Kundrata, Robin, 2017, Revision of the flightless click-beetle genus Dima Charpentier, 1825 (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dimini) in the Balkan Peninsula, pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 4220 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4220.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/467078

(as D. raineri Wurst, 1997 in Schimmel & Platia 2008) (PCRS). New material. GREECE: North Peloponnese [Nordpeloponnes], Xylokastro, Zemeno env., Driodasos Mongostou (ca. 37°59'47.42"N, 22°35'43.23"E), 28.V.–7. VI.1997, 1 ♀, Manfred Egger leg. (PCME). Diagnosis. Dima assingi is a large, moderately convex species (13.5–16.3 mm long), with pronotum with coarse punctation, long straight semi-erect to erect pubescence on the sides (Fig. 120), and elytra with decumbent to semi-erect pubescence basally. Dima assingi is very like D. neumanni Platia, 2013 (Fig. 67–74) and D. schnitteri Platia, 2013 (Fig. 105–108), which also occur in the northern Peloponnese. They are characteristic by the long straight semi-erect to erect setae on the pronotal sides and semi-erect pubescence on elytra. Together they form a complex of morphologically variable species with unclear specific limits. Dima assingi differs from two above mentioned species in elytra with shorter decumbent to semi-erect pubescence in basal third or half, and in semierect setae in the first half of pronotal sides (D. neumanni and D. schnitteri have longer semi-erect to erect setae in basal third or half of elytra and erect setae in the anterior half of pronotal lateral margin; Figs 120, 146, 157). In contrast to the typical D. neumanni and D. schnitteri, all known specimens of D. assingi have relatively long pronotum, however, some specimens of D. neumanni (mainly from Aroania Mts.) have similarly shaped pronota. Intraspecific variability. There is a variability in the coloration of body and pubescence (the specimens from Aroania Mts. have paler pubescence), pronotal pubescence orientation, and in the shape of apical lobe of paramera (Figs 6–9, 175–177). Distribution. Greece (Peloponnese: Aroania Mts., Kilini Mts.; Fig. 246). Remarks. The type specimens of D. assingi and D. peloponnensis were collected at the same time and on the same locality in Aroania Mts. (Schimmel & Platia 2008). They differ only in the body coloration (D. peloponnensis is slightly darker; Figs 6–7), surface of pronotum (wrinkled, with different orientation of setae in D. peloponnensis), and the shape of an apical lobe of paramera (shorter in D. peloponnensis; Fig. 177). All these characters are variable in Dima species. The specimens of D. assingi from the Kilini Mts. are similarly colored as D. peloponnensis and some of them vary slightly in the orientation of setae in the pronotum. The wrinkled pronotum is probably a molting defect known also in other species (see e.g. D. fialai sp. nov. or D. fthiotidensis Schimmel & Platia, 2008). Therefore, we herein synonymize Dima peloponnensis Schimmel & Platia, 2008 under Dima assingi Schimmel & Platia, 2008. There are two species of Dima reported from the Aroania Mts., i.e. D. assingi and D. neumanni (Fig. 246). Both probably differ in their habitat preference. Specimens of D. assingi from the Kilini Mts (Zemeno, Stilia, Trikala) were found near seasonal streams in agricultural lands, whilst Dima neumanni was collected in the dark wet gorges in the fir forests of the Aroania and Erimanthos Mts. It must be also noted, that the occurrence of D. assingi in Aroania Mts. was not confirmed by the recent field research by JM and colleagues—only D. neumanni were found in the vicinity of the type locality of D. assingi. We cannot exclude a possibility that the type specimens of D. assingi were mislabelled.Published as part of Mertlik, Josef, Németh, Tamás & Kundrata, Robin, 2017, Revision of the flightless click-beetle genus Dima Charpentier, 1825 (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dimini) in the Balkan Peninsula, pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 4220 (1) on page 7, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4220.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/467078

Mertlik leg. (PCJM); dtto, 1 ♀, P. Brůha leg. (PCPB); dtto, 1 ♀, T. Németh leg. (HNHM); dtto, 3 ♂♂, 1 ♀ (PCRK); Morea, Cumani, Brenske, Coll. Reitter, 1 ♀ (HNHM). Diagnosis. Dima schnitteri is a large species (body length: 13.7–17.0 mm) with a moderately convex body, coarse pronotal punctation, long straight erect setae on the pronotal lateral margin, and long straight semi-erect to erect pubescence on elytra (Figs 105–108, 157). Male genitalia is as in Fig. 216; the sclerotized spines of bursa copulatrix is as in Fig. 240. Dima schnitteri is morphologically very like D. neumanni (Figs 67–74). Most specimens of D. schnitteri are larger and paler than typical D. neumanni, however considering geography and the morphological variability in Dima specimens from the northern Peloponnese, we cannot exclude the possibility that the above mentioned species are conspecific. Similar species, D. assingi, differs from D. schnitteri in the more elongate pronotum, semi-erect (not erect) setae in the first half of the pronotal lateral margin, and elytra with shorter decumbent to semi-erect pubescence in basal third or half (Figs 6–9, 120). We refrain from making any taxonomic statements until more material from the northern Peloponnese is available for study. Intraspecific variability. Specimens from the type series are light brown (Figs 105–106), but the freshly collected specimens (2015; Figs 107–108) are dark brown. The light coloration of the type specimens might have been caused by the liquid in the pitfall traps. Distribution.
