Peronaspis bucharica Suvorov, 1915: 337.

Material examined.

UZBEKISTAN • 13 ♀; “ Бухара Кара-Булак ” [Uzbekistan, Kara-Bulak, 41°44'43"N, 70°09'22"E, handwritten by G. L. Suvorov]; 14. V. 1915; “ Peronaspis bucharica ♀ typ. m. ”; [golden circle]; ZIN • 16 ♀, same data; “ L. Arnoldi det. ”; ZIN .

Notes.

The species was described from an unspecified number of specimens which were considered males. Sixteen additional specimens were apparently found later in the unsorted material and provided with identification labels by L. V. Arnoldi. There are no males in the available material.

The structure of the head was described by G. L. Suvorov incorrectly: he wrote that the pterygia are produced into bidentate processes, with the inner branch curved upward and somewhat laterally, and the outer branch pointed laterally. In fact, the inner margins of the pterygia are situated much higher than the outer margins and are weakly produced anterodorsally while the outer margins are much longer and produced into thrice as long, compressed laterally genal processes (gp). In addition, the left mandible has deciduous process (mn-dp) somewhat longer and noticeably thicker than the genal process, more strongly curved and more medially pointed (Fig. 1 A).
