Marolia alicantina sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Melandryidae) from eastern Spain is described and illustrated. All specimens were collected using window traps on Quercus rotundifolia Lamarck, 1785 (Fagaceae) in the Carrascar de la Font Roja Natural Park (Alicante, Spain). M. alicantina sp. nov. is the only European Marolia having erect setae on the elytra and pronotum. M. alicantina resembles M. grandis Peyerimhoff, 1971 from north Africa, from which it can distinguished by the denser punctuation of the pronotum, shape of the base of the pronotum and shape of the aedeagus. Furthermore, unpublished records for other Marolia species are presented in this paper; in particular M. purkynei Mařan, 1933 is recorded for the first time in Croatia and Greece. The authors had the chance to study six specimens, subsequently labelled as syntypes, of the M. purkynei type series. The location of the remaining possible syntype remains unknown.
来自西班牙东部的 Alicantina 新种（鞘翅目：Melandryidae）被描述并图示。所有标本均使用窗陷阱采集于西班牙阿利坎特的卡里萨尔德拉丰特罗亚自然公园（Quercus rotundifolia Lamarck，1785）（Fagaceae）。Alicantina 新种是欧洲唯一具有直立刚毛的 Melandryidae 属。Alicantina 与来自北非的 grandis Peyerimhoff，1971 相似，但可以通过更密集的前胸点状刻纹、前胸基部的形状和阳茎的形状来区分。此外，本文还介绍了其他 Marolia 种的未公布记录；特别是 purkynei Mařan，1933 首次在克罗地亚和希腊记录。作者有机会研究了六件随后被标记为模式标本的 purkynei 模式系列标本。其余可能的模式标本的位置仍然未知。
