Omobrachyiulus cf. hortensis (Golovatch, 1981) View in CoL
Fig. 17B, C View Figure 17
Material examined.
Georgia: 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ (ZMUM), Mestia , 1500 m a.s.l., Betula , Rhododendron on moraine, litter and under stones, 5 and 15.IX.1986 , SIG leg.; 1 ♂ (SMNG), Mestia, below Chalaadi Glacier, 43.1118°N, 42.7453°E, Abies nordmanniana and various deciduous trees, in leaf litter, 9.VI.2019, H. Reip leg.
Remarks.
The males in these two samples from Mestia differ from both the original description and drawings, and the currently studied material of O. hortensis by certain structural details of the opisthomere (Fig. 17C View Figure 17 ), viz., presence of a smaller or larger, pointed, anterior process and differently shaped mesal and median parts of the apical outgrowth of the basoposterior process (compare to Fig. 17A View Figure 17 ); as well as by a stouter, abruptly rather than gradually tapering, promere (Fig. 17B View Figure 17 ). While these specimens may represent a new, closely related species, we cannot exclude possibly intraspecific variations; the more so that there are no significant differences between the solenomere, the taxonomically most important structure in Julidae , in these two forms (compare s in Fig. 17A View Figure 17 and Fig. 17C View Figure 17 ), while the promere and the anterior process of the opisthomere tend to be the most variable gonopodal structures within the Brachyiulini .
