Kampimodromus karadaghensis Kolodochka, 2005: 23 ; Chant & McMurtry, 2007: 37; Döker et al., 2017: 361.

M a t e r i a l. Type. Holotype}: #1293, Ukraine, South-Eastern Crimea, Karadag Nature Reserve, Crataegus sp. , 05.06 1975 (Kolodochka); paratypes (same locality as holotype): 6}, #1331, Prunus stepposa , 07.06 1975; 5}, 1 {, #1369, Quercus pubescens , 10.06 1975 (SIZK). Non-type. 13 specimens (12}, 1 {), Crimea.

R e d e s c r i p t i o n. F e m a l e. Dorsal shield ( fig. 5 , 1 ) weakly sclerotised, smooth (except for slight striation in area of setae D5), with 5 pairs of solenostomes (it, iv, il, is, ic; id and isc absent). Setae ADl, AM1 , AL1 , AL3 , AL4 , PLl, PM3 , PM4 , AS, PS serrated, others smooth; in females, one of the usually smooth setae of AD2 – AD4 , PD2 , PD2 , and PL3 pairs sometimes has 1–2 serrations. Setae AL4 and PL1 longer than other dorsal setae. Setae AD3 longer than distance between their own thecae. Seta AM1 slightly projecting beyond theca AL1 . Seta AL1 projecting beyond theca AL2 . Ventrianal shield ( fig. 5 , 2 ) narrow, vase-shaped, smooth, finely striated in the circumanal region; anal pores distinct, rounded, shifted towards each other. Seta PV slightly serrate; other ventrianal setae smooth, sharp, thin. The peritremes are narrow (about 2.5 µ), reaching the level of setae AM1 . Metapodal scutes narrow, posterior not less than 2.0 times as long as anterior scute ( fig. 5 , 3 ). The posterior part of the peritremal shield is narrow, almost straight, widening towards the beak-shaped end ( fig. 5 , 4 ). Chelicera with 4 small teeth on Df, Dm without teeth ( fig. 5, 5 ). The spermatheca is small, with a saucer-shaped funnel; atrium small, sessile, as if pressed into the base of the funnel ( fig. 5 , 6 ). Leg IV with sharp, smooth macrochaete on basitarsus ( fig. 5 , 7 , 10 ). In one of 11 paratype females, macrochaete with notch on one leg.

Measurements. Lds 293, Wds 146; Lvas 92, Wvas max 57, Lian 18; Ltar IV 84; setae length: ADl 19; AD2 21, AD3 22; AD4 27; PD1 33–37; PD4 6; AM1 30; AM2 16; AL1 31; AL2 39; AL450; PL1 49–59; PL3 20–23; PM1 34–37; PM3 41–45; PM4 51; AS 37; PS 27; PV 35; MCh tar LV 26.

Male. Ventrianal shield ( fig. 5 , 8 ) with 3 pairs of preanal setae; anal pores distinct, rounded, shifted towards each other. The spermatodactyl is beak-shaped, the process is short, club-shaped at the end ( fig. 5 , 9 ). Lds 275.

Diagnosis. Similar to the widespread species K. aberrans , but easily distinguished from it by the presence of five pairs of dorsal solenostomes (there is a pair of is), rather than four pairs, and distinctly longer dorsal setae AD3–AD4, PD2. AL4, PL1, PL3, PM1, PM3, PV in females, the male spermatodactyl is smaller and has different proportions of structural details. For differences between K. karadaghensis and K. corylosus , which also has 5 pairs of dorsal solenostomes, see the essay on the latter.

D i s t r i b u t i o n, h a b i t a t, o c c u r r e n c e. Europe ( Ukraine). In Ukraine: known only from the type locality, on trees and shrubs; rare .
