Polyxenus sp.

Fig. 6H, Map Fig. 1.

Material examined: Georgia, 1 adult male, slide mount, Vashlovan (i) Nature Reserve, Juniper and Pistacia sparse forest, 500–800 m a.s.l., N41°11’25”, E46°28’24”, 7–9.V.1983, leg. S. Golovatch. GoogleMaps

Remarks: As a damaged adult male lacking most trichomes was the only specimen available to examine, determination to species could not be made. The specimen is similar to P. lankaranensis sp. n. in its small size (body length 2.25 mm without the caudal bundle), and many other characters, but differed in the number and arrangement of the sensilla on antennal article 6 ( Fig. 6H).
