Specimens examined. Five females, Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan, 53°18ʹN, 66°27ʹE, 5 September 2019, A.K. Issakova coll., from soil (in TSUMZ) GoogleMaps .
Remarks. This species is very widespread in Europe and elsewhere, in soil, organic litter, mammal nests and ant nests ( Joharchi et al., 2012) and is now recorded in Kazakhstan for the first time, from soil. Our newly collected specimens agree very well with the description given by Evans & Till (1966). The species is easily recognised by the central podonotal setae short, never reaching past base of next posterior setae ( Fig. 64 View FIGURES 64–65 ), genito-ventral shield width equal with length, extending laterally beyond outer edges of coxae IV ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 64–65 ), post-anal seta smooth and thicker and longer than para-anal setae ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 64–65 ), setae Z5 clearly longer than J5 and seta v1 on the palptrochanter thickened.
