Raveniola View in CoL sp. aff. concolor Zonstein, 2000
Anemesia tubifex View in CoL – Denis 1958: 82 (♀). Misidentified.
Material examined
AFGHANISTAN: 1 ♀, Koh-i-Baba Mts, Tarapas, 3200 m, 23 Jul. 1948, N. Haarløv leg. ( NHMD); 6 ♀♀, same ridge, Puistangoli, 3000–3400 m, 1 Aug. 1948, N. Haarløv leg. ( NHMD); 5 ♀♀, same ridge, Sar-i-Djedjaghana, 3000–3400 m, 8 Aug. 1948, N. Haarløv leg. ( NHMD).
Notes
The re-examination of these specimens, identified by Denis (1958) as Anemesia tubifex , shows that they actually represent an undescribed alpine species of the nemesiid Raveniola Zonstein, 1987 , closely related to R. concolor from the highlands of northern India. The characters missed by Denis (a short and wide labium, a broadly rounded sternum, a fairly rounded and submarginal posterior pair of the sternal sigilla, the characteristic divided spermathecae, as well as many less significant features) contradict his identification and confirm the given re-assignment. The species is planned to be described in a revision of Central Asian Raveniola spp. (Zonstein, in prep.).
