Holcostethus congenitus Putshkov, 1965: 243–244 .

Diagnosis. The species differs from the congeners in the narrow pygofer with not attenuate apical angles and wide rounded emargination of the apical margin ( Fig. 79 View Figs ) and also in the aedeagus with the strongly widened sclerotized median plates and smoothly curved vesica ( Figs. 24 View Figs , 30 View Figs ).

Description. Body sandy-gray, with black punctation (distance between punctures exceeding puncture diameter); underside pale yellow, with concolorous, partly black punctation. Antenna pale yellowish; apical segments rufescent or reddish, frequently with dark rings. Body medium-sized, 7–9 (7.85) mm, b. lw 1.56– 1.76 (1.66).

Head narrowed anteriorly, medium-sized, l. bh 3.95–4.58 (4.26); jugae longer than clypeus, covering its apex, slightly emarginate before eyes, h. wl 1.17– 1.29 (1.22). Eye large, ds 1.41–1.52 (1.47). Antenna of medium length, l. ba 1.92–2.23 (2.06).

Pronotum transverse [p. wl 2.02–2.29 (2.18)], with straight lateral margins bordered with low blunt and indistinctly outlined costa not projecting above adjoining margins of disc. Scutellum of subequal length and width, s. lw 0.94–1.1 ( 1), pale at apex.

Male genitalia. Pygofer narrow, with apical angles not attenuate and median emargination widely rounded ( Fig. 79 View Figs ). Aedeagus with 2 pairs of conjunctive processes, with strongly widened sclerotized median plates, and smoothly curved vesica ( Figs. 24 View Figs , 30 View Figs ). Pa-rameres in form of overturn “L”, sensory lobe rounded. Uneven area of inner surface of paramere with nearly straight sides, rounded apically, pointed at base ( Fig. 57 View Figs ).

Female genitalia. Spermathecal bulb weakly elongate (l. bb 11.3), with short processes; sclerotized duct narrowed toward base ( Fig. 8 View Figs ).

Distribution. Transcaucasia, Iran.
