Otiorhynchus (Podonebistus) janovskii Korotyaev, 1990

( Figs. 1-4 )

Material: Two fragments attributed to O. janovskii were found in the layer: one left elytron (length 2.75 mm, width 2.0 mm), and one associated fragment, including the left and right elytra, thorax and abdomen (length – 3.7 mm, width – 2.5 mm). The fragments are presented in Figures 1–3 . The preservation of the remains is very good, uncharacteristic for deposits of the early-middle Neopleistocene; there is no pronounced deformation of the remains, as well as secondary microsculpture, which made it possible to make a detailed identification.
