Genus Glyptobothrus Chopard, 1951
GENERAL REMARKS. This genus includes the so-called species group or complex
" biguttulus – brunneus – mollis ". Morphology of all species is very variable. As a result, many different species, subspecies, forms, and varieties have been decribed in the 19–20th
centuries. Actually, in many cases, limits of their traits' variations are overlapped. Only an analysis of acoustic signals and organization of strudulatory apparatus often allows to distinguish the species and other forms. However, acoustic data are limited and, besides,
many specimens, especially used in some old publications, are inaccessible or ruined. This means we could not check many records concerning, for instance, the distribution of
Glyptobothrus brunneus (Thunberg) in the East Palaearctic
