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.
