Comments on taxonomy. We could not locate and examine the type material of Q. tadjikiscusdescribed from "Tadjikabad, Daran-Nazaran" in Tajikistan, and did not come across any material that could be identified as that species. The description and the illustrations of the aedeagus of Q. tadjikiscusavailable from Coiffait (1975, 1978) suggest that this may be a species very similar to Q. koltzei. But Quedius tadjikiscusdiffers from Q. koltzeiin the presence of three punctures in the dorsal row of pronotum and the absence of apical groups of peg setae on the paramere.
