TYPE LOCALITY. Russia: Orenburg Prov., Orenburg .

LECTOTYPE (designated here). ♀, "Orb [Orenburg] / Tiphia abnormis Evm / [bottom label] abnormis Evm. / Syntypus Tiphia abnormis Ev. / Sierolomorpha ♀ abnormis (Eversmann, 1849) D. Milko exam. 1999 / Lectotype ♀ Tiphia abnormis Eversmann, 1849 design.

Mokrousov, 2017".

CURRENT STATUS. Valid species Sierolomorpha abnormis (Eversmann, 1849), comb.

n. in the family Sierolomorphidae ( Fig. 1 ).

REMARKS. Because the original description (Eversmann, 1869) was very short and sex of lectotype was mixed by E. Eversmann we give below the redescription of Sierolomorpha abnormis (Eversmann, 1849) , based on the lectotype and additional material. This species resembles S. sogdiana Lelej et Mokrousov, 2015 (Lelej & Mokrousov, 2015) by having similar shape of antennomeres but differs by rudimentary apical band on T1 and denser punctation and setation of clypeus, occipital area and propleuron.

EXAMINED SPECIMENS (additionally to lectotype). Russia: Novosibirsk Prov. ,

Zdvinsk District , Kargat River [55°8'58.94"N, 80°0'11.36"E], 11.V 1992, A. Barkalov 1♀

[FSC], 3♀ [ ISE] (studied photos only) , 2♀ [Institute of Biology and Soil Science , Bishkek,

Kyrgyzstan].

REDESCRIPTION. FEMALE. Body length 5.2–6.9 mm (lectotype 5.2 mm). Black,

tibiae, flagellomeres and wing venation castaneous; mandibles, clypeus anteriorly and tarsi yellowish-brown. Body and legs with rare erect pale setae, denser on propleuron, procoxa and S6; setae of wing membrane dark.

Clypeus basally with small dense punctures, which larger medially; clypeus apically shagrened. Front, temples and vertex polished and shiny, punctures small, very rare. Interorbital without row of rather large punctures. Occipital area with dense punctures. Frontal prominence well developed ( Figs 3, 4 ), without median longitudinal keel, occipital carina lacking.

Mandibular fossa open. Mandible robust, with small subapical tooth. Palpal formula 6+4.

Scape 2.5–2.6 times as long as pedicel; F3–F9 1.48–1.69 times, F10 2.8 times as long as thick ( Fig. 6 ). Head rounded with slightly protruding vertex, height 0.96 times its width;

interorbital parallel ( Fig. 2 ). Malar space 0.4 times as long as width of scape. Ocelli small,

POL = OOL ( Fig. 3 ).

Mesosoma dorsally shiny, finely punctate. Parapsidal furrows thin, complete, near parallel. Notauli incomplete, distinctly divergent anteriorly. Pronotum and mesoscutellum laterally more deeply punctate. Propleuron deeply punctate, somewhat sparser then procoxa

( Fig. 5 ). Tegula shiny, rarely punctate. Propodeal disc without posterior transverse carina,

laterally with well defined carinae; median longitudinal impression of disc superficially impressed, carinated laterally by irregular longitudinal folds, median longitudinal carina of declivity lacking. Posterior propodeal surface well carinated laterally, with median irregular longitudinal folds, laterad of them posterior surface transversely rugose. Propodeal sides rather sparse, but distinctly punctured. Mesopleuron shiny, with scattered punctures. Fore wing slightly evenly infuscated, discolored along longitudinal furrows and cross-veins 2rs-m,

3rs-m, and 2m-cu. Hind wing long, touching apex of marginal cell of fore wing, with three basal and seven apical hamuli. Metacoxa with strong dorsal carina triangularly protruding basally. Meso- and metatibia dorsally with short spines. Femur flattened and widened,

profemur curved outside. Protarsus without comb. Protibia with one, meso- and metatibia with two calcaria. T1 with rudimentary, not depressed apical striate band ( Fig. 7 ) and wide triangular lateroterga, each of them overlaps apically one fourth of S1 width. T2 with narrower rectangular lateroterga which are rounded posterad. S1 and S2 with deep constriction. S1

basally roof-like, feebly alutaceous, with median longitudinal carina bifurcated posterad;

irregularly longitudinally rugose, posterior border medially widely emarginated and over-

lapping anterior declivity of S2, which is separated from remaining S2 by deep transverse groove. T2 basally with longitudinally striate band, basolaterally with well developed round reddish delicately aciculate areas ("felt line") ( Fig. 7 ), T1–T6 shiny with rare punctures; S2–

S5 denser punctured then terga. S6 conical, surrounding sting and extending beyond last tergum (likes Sapygidae ), densely micropunctate, with long pale dense setae.

MALE. Unknown.
