Pygmephorus scrobiculatus Sevastianov, 1975: 204 , figs. 1–4 syn. nov.

Sosnina & Sevastianov (1975) described Pygmephorus scrobiculatus Sevastianov, 1975 from nests of small mammals from Crimea, Ukraine. My examination of two female paratypes of P. scrobiculatus revealed conspecificity of P. scrobiculatus and P. stammeri Krczal, 1959 redescribed by Dastych et al. (1991). Therefore I consider P. s c ro - biculatus syn. nov. as a junior synonym of P. stammeri .

Material examined. Two female paratypes of Pygmephorus scrobiculatus Sevastianov, 1975 , UKRAINE: Crimea, Gurzuf mountain pasture, from soil, 31 August 1960, coll. E.F. Sosnina.
