Abstract - Athous (Orthathous) melonii n. sp. is described from Sardinia: the new taxon is closely allied to A. dorgaliensis Buyss. The systematic position of A. dorgaliensis Buyss. is discussed and the species is transferred from subgenus Athous s. str. (= Grypocarus Thoms.) to subgenus Orthathous Reitter (sensu Müller, 1912).
