Parameira (Lepidostomodes) gebleri FAUST, 1893

Parameira volgense Korotyaev, 1992: 816 , syn. n.

Taxonomic notes:

This species occurs in southern Ural and from Altai to Transbaikalia, where it appears parthenogenetic. In addition, there is a bisexual form present along Volga River (around midlength), which Korotyaev (1992) described as P. volgense Kor. (compared with P. setosa Seidlitz, 1868 instead of P. gebleri ). Due to the absence of morphological differences between type specimens of both species, we consider P. volgense conspecific to P. gebleri .

P. volgense : Holotype, male ( ZIN); Russia, Ul’yanovsk Prov., Radischevskiy Distr., Ashtala Mt. , 9.viii.1991, A.Yu. Isaev leg. Paratypes: 2 ♀♀ ( ZIN), labeled as holotype .
