| : | A new genus, Pseudaparopion, from southern Caspic region, is described. It includes two species: P. aequale (Reitter, 1883) from Lenkoran (Azerbajdzan) and P. kadleci sp. n. from Mazandaran (Iran). P. aequale was originally described by Reitter (1883) as Aparopion aequale but clearly does not belong in that genus on the basis of intervals not raised and structure of VIII sternite of female. A lectotype and paralectotype are here designated for P. aequale; this species is transferred from genus Aparopion as Aparopion aequale. Drawings of male and female genitalia for all species are provided. Taxonomic account and an identification key to the species are given. |
