Remarks. J. Abenius (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Nynäshamn) kindly informed us (per. comm.) that males (genitalia of holotype have been examined by him) of Psammochares malaisei Nordström & Forsius 1930 belong to A. fumipennis (Zetterstedt 1838) while the females of malaisei belong to sogdiana -group. Unfortunately we have not seen the slide of male genitalia of P. malaisei and postponed the decision about the synonymy of this species.
