21. Lithobius sseliwanoffi Garbowski, 1897 View in CoL

Monotarsobius sseliwanoffi View in CoL – Zalesskaja 1978: 164; Zalesskaja et al. 1982: 197.

(see below) Monotarsobius curtipes View in CoL – Muralewicz 1907: 334; 1926: 29; 1929: 15.

Previous records. Gegharkunik: [2] and Shirak: [7] ( Muralewicz 1907, 1926, 1929, as L. curtipes ) provinces, Armenia ( Zalesskaja 1978; Zalesskaja et al. 1982).

Distribution. Southern Europe ( Zalesskaja & Golovatch 1996) and Caucasus ( Zalesskaja 1978).

Remarks. According to Zalesskaja (1978: 178), specimens identified as Monotarsobius curtipes by Muralewicz belong to Lithobius pusillus Sseliwanoff, 1878 . Latter species was regarded as a junior synonym of L. sseliwanoffi Garbowski, 1897 (Garbowski 1897), but Eason (1972) and Zalesskaja (1978) offered to consider some specimens of L. curtipes as L. sseliwanoffi . Later, L. sseliwanoffi was synonymized under L. ferganensis by Eason (1997), but it was questioned by Farzalieva (2006).
