M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Georgia: Ra c h a: 1♂, 4♀♀, E Shovi, 42°41'N, 43°42'E, 1720 m, 28. V.2018, leg. Brachat& Meybohm(cAss); 1♀, E Shovi, 42°42'N, 43°41'E, 1570 m, 28. V.2018, leg. Brachat& Meybohm(cAss); 2♀♀, W Glola, 42°42'N, 43°36'E, 1170 m, 28. V.2018, leg. Brachat& Meybohm(cAss); 1♀, Ghebi, 42°45'N, 43°32'E, 1310 m, 29. V.2018, leg. Brachat& Meybohm(cAss). C o m m e n t: Unlike G. manca, G. cingulatais rather widespread and not uncommon in Georgiaand Azerbaijan( Map 3). Based on the presence of a small tubercle on the male tergite VII, the species was previously attributed to the subgenus ChondridiosipaliaSCHEERPELTZ, 1951. Other characters, however, suggest that it is more closely allied to geographically close species of the subgenus Sipalotricha, suggesting that the presence of a tubercle on the male tergite VII is an autapomorphy rather than a synapomorphy shared with Geostibaleonhardi(BERNHAUER, 1908) from Italy, the typespecies of Chondridiosipalia. This conclusion is also supported by the observation that there is no other species of Chondridiosipaliain the West Palaearctic east of Italy.
