Ghilaroviella valiachmedovi
is known from three localities in Tajikstan: Sharak, Muminabad and Khorog. Zapparoli &
Edgecombe (2011)
say that it has been introduced to a botanical garden in Austria, but this is a misreading of the Russian text—the botanical garden where it was collected is in Khorog, Tajikstan. It appears to be a typical anopsobiid. The presence of a coxal spine on leg 14 as well as leg 15 is a character shared with at least some species of
Anopsobius
and
Dichelobius
