Description

Quedius (Microsaurus) cruentus (OLIVIER, 1795)

Quedius xanthurus IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN, 1961: 147 f.; nov.syn.

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype ♀ [antennae missing]: ̎Kafan, N. Gand, ASSR. 27.7.52 / Holotypus Quedius cruentus Iablokoff-Khnzorian, rev. V. Assing 2019 / Quedius cruentus (Olivier), det. V. Assing 2019̎ (cKhn).

C o m m e n t: The original description of Q. xanthurus is based on a unique holotype from ̎Nerkin Hand (Armenie orientale)̎ collected ̎dans un vieux creux, 27.7.1952 ̎ (IABLOKOFF- KHNZORIAN 1961). The species was attributed to the subgenus Sauridus MULSANT & REY, 1876, now a junior synonym of Raphirus STEPHENS, 1829, by COIFFAIT (1978). An examination of the holotype, however, revealed that it is conspecific with Q. cruentus. Hence the synonymy proposed above.
