Capperia tadzhica Alipanah & Gielis & Sari & Sarafrazi & Manzari 2011, COMB. NOV.

Description

CAPPERIA TADZHICA (ZAGULAJEV) COMB. NOV.

Procapperia tadzhica Zagulajev, 2002: 366.

Material examined: No specimen was available for study.

Comments: Based on the original description and illustrations, as already discussed, this species is closer to Capperia species than to Procapperia. The female genitalia of this species are more similar to Capperia spp., especially in the absence of the pearshaped median structure in sternite VII. Additonally, a close relationship between this species and Capperia salanga in the shape of the valva and aedeagus, and the specialized eighth sternite was found. Therefore, it is here transferred to the genus Capperia.
