Meotica hamata ASSING, 2011: 213.

Type material examined: SeeASSING (2011).

Additional material examined: UKRAINE: 1♂, Kyiv, M " Lisova " env., leaf litter, 9.IV.2018, leg. Gontarenko (cAss).

Comment: Meotica hamata was originally described based on a unique male holotype from the Turkish province Bolu (ASSING 2011). The above male from Ukraine represents a new country record. Based on the similarly derived morphology of the aedeagus, this species is closely allied to M. filiformis .

Diagnosis: ♂: sternite VIII (Fig. 97) strongly transverse, posterior margin obtusely produced in the middle; median lobe of aedeagus (Figs 98-99) of distinctive shape; ventral process apically spear-shaped in ventral view; apical lobe of paramere blackish.

♀: unknown.

For additional illustrations see ASSING (2011).

Distribution: Turkey (Bolu); Ukraine.
