Quedius (Microsaurus) transcaucasicus View in CoL IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN, 1961

Quedius transcaucasicus View in CoL IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN, 1961: 146 f.

Quedius View in CoL iablokofi COIFFAIT, 1967: 396; unnecessary replacent name.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: 1♀: ̎Idhsewan, Kiranu, ASSR - 17-5-51̎ (cKhn).

C o m m e n t: The original description of Q. transcaucasicus is based on a unique holotype from ̎Schischkert ( Arménie orientale) dans un chẻne creux ả la lisiẻre supérieure de la forêt (env. 1900 m), 31.7.1959 ̎ (IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN 1961). The examined female is the sole specimen found in the Khnzorian collection, but apparently not the holotype, as the locality and date indicated on the label do not agree with those given in the description. Nevertheless, the specimen is in good agreement with the characters mentioned by IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN (1961). Quedius transcaucasicus is characterized particularly by its conspicuous coloration (head and pronotum black; elytra and abdomen reddish).

Quedius transcaucasicus View in CoL was subsequently replaced with the nomen novum Q. iablokofi by COIFFAIT (1967), who believed the name was preoccupied by Q. transcaucasicus View in CoL GEMMINGER & HAROLD, 1968. The latter, however, is a nomen nudum and consequently unavailable ( HERMAN 2001).
