Iberodorcadion perezi nudipenne, an endemic subspecies occuring in Castilla–La Mancha/Castilla and León (Spain), has been described from Rio Riaza basin as Dorcadion nudipenne by Manuel Martínez De La Escalera in 1908 [❖]. The status of this taxon was unclear for a long time, but in majority of later works it was considered a subspecies of I. perezi (Graëlls, 1849). Mario Tomé Díez rehabilitated the species in 2004 [❖], but in 2011, Alberto del Saz Fucho clearly differentiated the taxa ghilianii, hispanicum and nudipenne and, based on the genital analysis, placed the latter with a subspecific rank within the group of I. (H.) perezi (Graëlls, 1849). In this work is also in detail described biology of this taxon [▽].
