Remarks. Geodromicus lestevoides Reitter, 1900 was originally described from “Bokhara, Turkestan”. Scheerpeltz (1933) replaced this name with G. reitteri Sheerpeltz, 1933 because lestevoides was previously occupied by other taxon (see details in Scheerpeltz 1933 and Zerche 1992). Luze (1903) and Zerche (1992) redescribed the species, and Zerche also designated the lectotype and provided new faunistic records. Hygrodromicus reitteri ( Fig. 4 ) is here recorded from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for the first time.
