Aleochara (Polychara) khnzoriani AMIRYAN,1999b: 62 f.; syn. nov.

Type material examined: Holotype: “ Armenia, Goris, sel. [village] Tatev, pod kamnem [under stones], 21.05.88, c. Kalashian M. / Type / Aleochara khnzoriani sp. n. Det. Amiryan A / Aleochara subtumida (Hochhuth) , det. V. Assing 2018” ( IZAY).

Comment: In the original description of Aleochara khnzoriani , which is based on a unique female, AMIRYAN (1999b) attributed the species to the subgenus Polychara MULSANT & REY, 1874 , now a synonym of Xenochara MULSANT & REY, 1874. An examination of the holotype, however, revealed that the specimen belongs to the subgenus Ceranota STEPHENS, 1839 and is conspecific with A. subtumida . Hence the synonymy proposed above.
