T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d:
H. khnzoriani: Holotype 3: "[locality in Cyrillic], 2-4-52 / Holotype / Hypomedon khnzoriani Coiff., H. Coiffait det. 1969 / Sunius khnzoriani (Coiffait) det. V. Assing 2007" (MNHNP). Paratypes: 1♀: "[same locality] 11-4-48 / Allotype / Sunius khnzoriani (Coiffait) det. V. Assing 2007" (MNHNP); 1♀: "[locality in Cyrillic] 2000-2200 m, 22.-27.10.67 / [...] Microtus arvalis [collector in Cyrillic] / Paratype / Sunius khnzoriani (Coiffait) det. V. Assing 2007" (MNHNP).
S. dolabrifer: see ASSING (2001a).
C o m m e n t s: The original description is based on a holotype male and a female paratype from "environs d'Erevan, Arménie soviétique" and a male paratype from "Bazar Tchai" (COIFFAIT 1970). An examination of the types revealed that they are conspecific with those of S. dolabrifer; hence the synonymy proposed above.

D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The species was previously known only from Armenia and Turkey (ASSING 2001a, 2005c, 2005d, 2006a; SMETANA 2004); it is here reported from Iran and Georgia for the first time (Map 10). The previous records from Sügözu and Sertavul Geçidi (Turkey: Antalya) by ASSING (2005c) refer to the following species.
The material examined was collected at altitudes between 1200 and approximately 3000 m (Iran) in March (1 record/ 1 specimen), April (4/12), May (2/9), June (4/4), July (1/2), August (2/2), and October (1/1).
