B4040073D91CA47FC0BDA1A9FD5CFE72.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. The new taxon is dedicated to Askold Sergeevich Badenko, who collected the holotype. He was a long-term employee of the Kazakh Institute of Zoology, a coworker of many entomological expeditions, a collector of a huge number of rare insects, a talented illustrator of I. A. Kostin's publications, a participant in military operations against the Japanese army in Manchuria. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. Both new species belong to a very compact desert group of small Central Asian taxa connected with Eremurus inderiensis (M. Bieb.) Regel. The group includes fore more unrelated, but similar species: A. (E.) shovkuni Shapovalov, 2009 from south-west Kazakhstan, A. (E.) auliensis Pic, 1907 (= amabilis Holzschuh, 1981) distributed from Muiunkum desert to Ily River valley and also discovered far northwards Balkhash near Akchatau and A. (E.) parauliensis Danilevsky, 2017 described from “ Golodnaya Stepp ” at the border-line between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. A. (E.) obydovi Danilevsky, 2000 is also connected with Eremurus inderiensis, but rather far from others and nearly identic to A. (E.) detrita Kraatz, 1882 with its regular even elytral pubescence, but much smaller. It is known from near Konshengel only (between Almaty and Balkhash).	en	Danilevsky, Mikhail L.

B4040073D91CA47FC0BDA1A9FD5CFE72.taxon	description	A. plewai sp. n. and A. badenkoi sp. n. are very similar to the geographically quite distant A. parauliensis (Figs 4 – 5), but differ by narrower body, a little narrower prothorax, elytral setae patches larger, usually conjugated, glabrous elytral interspaces indistinct. The group of 6 species mentioned above can be characterized inside the genus with the absence of metallic luster, red basal parts of 3 rd- 12 th antennal joints, absence of setae tufts of 3 rd antennal joints.

I am very grateful to Radosław Plewa (Forest Research Institute, Sękocin Stary, Poland) for the supplying me with the specimens for study and for several important corrections; two more persons also took part in the collecting of the type series and sent me some important data: Jacek Hilszczański (Forest Research Institute, Sękocin Stary, Poland) and Krzysztof Łoś (Łomianki Dolne, Poland). I am deeply appreciative to Dmitriy Milko (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan) for the identification of Eremurus inderiensis (M. Bieb.) Regel.	en	Danilevsky, Mikhail L.
