Bakerdania montana ( Willmann, 1956)

Bakerdania ptilophora Savulkina, 1978: 136 , figs. 33-36. syn. nov.

I examined female holotype of Bakerdania ptilophora Savulkina, 1978 described from Byelorussia ( Savulkina 1978). The specimen is damaged, without left setae c 1 and c 2. But all other setae are not damaged. Comparison of holotype of B. ptilophora with the description of B. montana ( Willmann, 1956) and redescription of of this species by Mahunka (1970) revealed their conspecificity. Therefore I consider B. ptilophora syn. nov as a junior synonym of B. montana .

Material examined. Female holotype of B. ptilophora Savulkina, 1978 , BYELORUSSIA: Brest Distr., Lunetsk Reg., vicinity of Krestunov, from the nest of Myodes glareolus Schreber ( Rodentia : Cricetidae ), 17 April 1968, coll. I. V. Chikilevskaya.
