SKOPIN (1960) suggested that Blaps parvicollis subcordata Seidlitz, 1893 could be the eastern subspecies of B. parvicollis, and indicated that the larvae of both subspecies are very similar in a structure. Later, SKOPIN (1973) synonymized B. parvicollis subcordata with B. parvicollis quadricollis Ballion, 1878 and pointed to the error of SEMENOV TIAN­SHANSKY and BOGATCHEV (1936), who noted that B. quadricollis is indistinguishable from B. pterosticha Fischer von Waldheim, 1844. LÖBL et al. (2008) erroneously listed Blaps parvicollis subcordata as a separate species and B. parvicollis quadricollis as a junior synonym of B. pterosticha.</p> <p>Blaps parvicollis quadricollis differs from B. pterosticha in smaller body size, coarser pronotal bead, male metatibia with thickening in apical half and subglobular reservoirs of spermatheca. Based on the more elongated pronotum and elytra, coarser and thicker pronotal bead and male metatibia with thickening in the apical half (Figs 25A, B), structures of male and female genitalia and also presence of populations with intermediate characters in intergradation zones, it is thought that B. p. quadricollis is a subspecies of B. parvicollis. Separation of females is difficult, as the body shape (in particular structure of pronotum and elytra) and the structure of spermatheca are rather variable.</p> <p>Some authors (MEDVEDEV 2001, CHIGRAY et al. 2016) illustrated female genital ducts of B. p. parvicollis. Recent studies revealed that the genital ducts of each of both subspecies of B. parvicollis in Southern Kazakhstan are represented by three types: 1) bases of both reservoirs of the spermatheca are joined in a common duct at a distance from the basal duct (Fig. 25C); 2) bases of reservoirs of the spermatheca are joined and do not form a common tube before the basal duct (Fig. 25D); 3) bases of reservoirs of the spermatheca are separately joined with the basal duct (Fig. 25E).</p> <p>Distribution. The subspecies is widely distributed in the southern zone of Kazakhstan (SKOPIN 1968).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/896187BFF776B60CFE87C517FD93FDE1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

SKOPIN (1961) showed that Blaps pterosticha and B. tenuicauda</p> <p>Seidlitz, 1893 are morphologically similar species and their lifestyles are the same; he suggested that B. tenuicauda is only a form of B. pterosticha. Recent studies confirmed this opinion based on the absence of any significant external and internal structural differences between the specimens formerly considered as these two “taxa”, including those provided by Skopin with the label “Homotypus”. The validity of these taxa needs a confirmation by reexamination of the type specimens of both “species”. In the subsequent key B. pterosticha and B. tenuicauda are given in the same couplet.</p> <p>Distribution.
