Lathrobium tichomirovae COIFFAIT 1981

Material examined Azerbeijan: 2♂♂, 1♀, Lenkoran, leg. Leder (Reitter) (NHMW, cAss); 1♀, Lerik, leg. Leder (Reitter) (NHMW). Russia: 1♂, Uch-Dere [ca. 43°40'N, 39°37'E], 10.IV.1880 (NHMW) .

Comment: All the above specimens had been misidentified as L. castaneipenne KOLENATI 1846. Lathrobium tichomirovae is evidently closely related to L. bernhaueri, as can be inferred from the similarly derived morphology of the aedeagus. Like L. bernhaueri, it is distributed in the Caucasus region. The specimens from Azerbeijan represent new country records.
