Puto caucasicus Hadzibejli View in CoL

Puto caucasicus Hadzibejli, 1956: 515 View in CoL .

We examined the lectotype and two other adult females of this species, which were described from Abies View in CoL species ( Pinaceae View in CoL ) from southwestern Georgia. Ilya Gavrilov also examined other type specimens housed in the ZISP. The adult females have 8-segmented antennae with segment III about twice the length of the others and with pseudoarticulation, and each trochanter possesses two (rarely three) campaniform sensilla. The presence of spurs at the base of the claw and a well-developed claw denticle ( Danzig, 1999, figure 4), as well as the distribution of intersegmental sensilla on the antennae of these specimens (Table 1), are features consistent with other species of Puto View in CoL . Ilya Gavrilov also examined first-instar nymphs and stated that they have 6- or 7-segmented antennae and adult males have 5 pairs of unicorneal eyes.
