Notes

Earophanta loudoni was described from a single specimen and was synonymised by Medvedev (2005). The specimens from Turkmenistan, which were standing in the collection of ZIN as E. loudoni , differ from the specimens from Afghanistan (determined by Z. Kaszab as E. pilosissima ) by much more pubescent elytra and visibly smaller smooth tubercles on the elytra. A larger series of specimens is necessary to establish the status of these populations.
