C o m m e n t: The original description of L. funesta is based on a unique holotype from "Kaukasus ohne nähere Bezeichnung der Localität" ( EPPELSHEIM 1890). This species had never been recorded again since the original description (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). A study of the holotype revealed that it is conspecific with the recently described Liogluta nigrobusta ASSING, 2016 , whose description is based on a male holotype and five female paratypes from a locality in Artvin, northeastern Anatolia ( ASSING 2016a). For illustrations of the external and sexual characters of this distinctive species see the description of L. nigrobusta .
