Treatment

Biscirus kobachidzei ( Gomelauri, 1963) comb. nov.

Neobiscirus kobachidzei Gomelauri, 1963: 167 .

Distribution. Georgia S.S.R.

Remarks. The monospecific Neobiscirus Gomelauri, 1963 differs from Biscirus by the presence of a median eye and two denticles on the movable digit. These characters are continuous with multiple genera in most subfamilies (Hernandes 2013), including Biscirus , which is often overlooked as possessing a median eye ( Alberti 1975). Therefore, we do not consider Neobiscirus a distinct genus, and instead suggest the new combination Biscirus kobachidzei ( Gomelauri, 1963) .
