Bradysiopsis sordida ( Mohrig, 1999) comb. n.

Literature. Lycoriella (Hemineurina) sordida Mohrig—Mohrig et al. (1999) : 196, fig. 10 a–f.

Discussion. Both Br. sordida (Mohrig) comb. n. and Br. dearmata (Mohrig & Krivosheina) comb. n. (see above) are placed in the genus Bradysiopsis , in the here newly established Br. dearmata group. Both species have, unlike the Br. vittata group and Br. disjuncta group, a distinctly bordered patch of sensilla on the first palpal segment, conically narrowed and apically roundish tegmen, elongate-ovale gonostylus with the apex which is curved to the medial side and—like in Pseudolycoriella —densely setose, and which reaches apicad from the apical tooth. With their long three-segmented palpus, four strong setae on scutellum, untoothed tarsal claws, partly bow-like bordered and densely setose tibial organ, the lack of a whiplash seta on the gonostylus, the 2–3 long setae on the medial side of the gonostylus and a slender apical tooth in combination with three subapical megasetae, both species possess typical Bradysiopsis characters [compare with the genus diagnosis in Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 185)].
