TAXONOMIC NOTES. Tarbinky (2000) described three new Central Asian species of Euchroeus (= Brugmoia ): E. arenarius, E. kyrgyzicum and E. silaphilus.

We examined the type series housed at the Institute of Biology and Pedology of the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek). The types of E . kyrgyzicum resulted conspecific with E. limbatus Dahlbom, 1854, one of the most common Euchroeus species from Turkey to Central Asia (type examined). For some reasons, Tarbinsky (2000) in the differential diagnosis compared Euchroeus kyrgyzicum to E. eous (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1912), which clearly belongs to the purpuratus species group and not to the limbatus species group sensu Linsenmaier (1959). Conversely, in the article he did not mention and key Euchroeus limbatus which has been previously listed in the checklist of the Kyrgyz species (Tarbinsky, 1996). Female holotype and male paratypes of Brugmoia kyrgyzica were examined and photographed ( Figs 4 , 5 ). We here synonymize Brugmoia kyrgyzica Tarbinsky, 2000 with Euchroeus limbatus Dahlbom, 1854.

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (North Caucasus, European part, Urals), Turkey, Central Asia (Rosa et al., 2019).
