Trigoniophthalmus tseyi sp. n. belongs to the same species group as T. kobani sp. n. described above. Trigoniophthalmus tseyi sp. n. differs from other species of this group by ratio of distance between inner margins of paired ocelli to total width of eyes, presence of spine-like setae on legs, small posterior angle of urosternites II–V, large number of inner sublateral spines on urocoxite IX. Main differences between these species of this group are in Table 8 . Habitats. Specimens of Trigoniophthalmus tseyi sp. n. were collected in mountain forest (Pinus, Fagus, shrubs) under stones, 1950 m above sea level. Etymology. The new species takes its name from the type locality: Verkhniy Tsey, North Ossetia – Alania .
