Shavrin, Alexey V., 2025, A new species of Trichodromeus Luze, 1903 from Afghanistan, and a new combination (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Anthophagini), Zootaxa 5566 (1), pp. 197-200 : 200

Trichodromeus salangensis ( Tronquet, 1981) comb. nov.

Geodromicus salangensis Tronquet, 1981: 76

Remarks. Geodromicus salangensis was originally described from “…Salang, 3 000- 3 200 m …” (Hindu Kush Mts., Afghanistan) based on five specimens. Regarding the details of the morphology of the body and the aedeagus ( Figs 1E, 1F in Tronquet (1981)), this moderately small (4.2 mm) species undoubtedly belongs to the genus Trichodromeus . The species is known from about 100 km south-western of the type locality of related T. ottoi sp. nov.
