Remarks. L. anichtchenkoi sp. n. is described as monotypic in the genus Lagriadoliops gen. nov. Therefore, all morphological characters that are included in the description of a new genus can be referred to this species. Further, the determination key with specific characters that can be used to distinguish between L. anichtchenkoi sp. nov. and habitually similar species from the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923 ( Fig. 3 : Lamprobityle rugulata (Vives, 2009)) is provided in the following text.
