Rugilus armeniacus ( COIFFAIT, 1970) ( Figs 1 -7)

Stilicus armeniacus COIFFAIT, 1970: 154 f.

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype 3: "Goris, Shurnukhi, ASSR - 16-6-50 / Type / Stilicus armeniacus Coiffait, H. Coiffait det. 1970" (cKal).

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a male holotype from "Gorus, R.S.S. d'Arménie" and a female paratype with the same data ( COIFFAIT 1970). In size, habitus, and the male secondary sexual characters, R. armeniacus is highly similar to R. iranicus COIFFAIT, 1981 , from which it differs particularly by denser punctation of the head and pronotum, distinctly denser and finer punctation of the abdomen, and by slight differences in the morphology of the aedeagus. The external and male sexual characters of the holotype are illustrated in Figs 1 -7.
