Hedinobius hummelii Verhoeff, 1934

Hedinobius hummelii Verhoeff, 1934: 32 ; Zapparoli & Edgecombe 2011: 375.

Hedinobius hummelii was described from a single female from “Fu-shu-shi,” in the Tien Shan of western China. There is a city Fushun in Liaoning Province, and “shi” is generally taken to mean “city.” This may be the type locality. Verhoeff compared Hedinobius to Cermatobius (as Esastigmatobius , a junior synonym), and placed it in Zygethobiinae (now Zygethobiini ) as did Zapparoli & Edgecombe (2011). The genus Hedinobius seems to differ from Dzhungaria only in having coxal spines on both the 14th and 15th leg-pairs, as in Ghilaroviella . Clearly the three Central Asian genera need re-evaluation based on examination of the type specimens. It seems arbitrary to place Dzhungaria in Anopsobiidae and Hedinobius in Zygethobiini .
