C o m m e n t: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from "Kaukasus (Araxestal)" ( SCHEERPELTZ 1954a). Meotica caucasica is a junior primary homonym of M. caucasica BENICK, 1953 and was subsequently replaced with the nomen novum M. arasensis by SMETANA (2004a). The sole syntype in the Scheerpeltz collection is a female and consequently not designated as the lectotype.
D i a g n o s i s: ♂: unknown.
♀: spermatheca of the M. parasita type, but with longer and more slender proximal portion ( Fig. 85 View Figs 80-90 ).
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Azerbaijan, Armenia.
