Tenuibiotus willardi ( Pilato, 1977 b)

Material examined. Biserov’s collection (slides No. 1510, 1516, 1533, 1541, 1597, 1622, 1662, 1675, 1677, 1678: Crimean Peninsula, Alupka (approx. 44 ° 25 ʹ N, 34 °02ʹ E), Karasevka (approx. 44 ° 59 ʹ N, 34 ° 36 ʹ E), mountain range Karadagh (approx. 44 ° 55 ʹ N, 35 ° 13 ʹ E).

The species, new for Ukraine, was recorded from Europe and North America. It will be necessary to verify at least the diagnosis of the eastern European specimens, due to the similarities we found in the new species T. bozhkae sp. nov. currently unique to the Ukraine.
