Discussion.
The species is elevated here to independent species level from a subspecies of
D. (G.) ferecaeca
. Reasons: for the number of spines on hind tibiae differs greatly from those in
T
.
(
G
.)
ferecaecus
(
Gorochov, Rampini & Di Russo, 2006
)
, the male genitalia are also enough different to support a separation into two valid species. Furthermore, we think that
T
.
(
G
.)
aspes
(
Rampini, Di Russo
&
Cobolli, 2008
)
can be regarded as a synonym of
Tachycines
(
Gymnaeta
)
proximus
(
Gorochov, Rampini
&
Di Russo, 2006
)
as judging from their original descriptions and the male genitalia are almost the same.
Specimen not studied.
