Tartarogryllus vicinus Chopard, 1968: 275 , illustr. 1 Modicogryllus ( Eumodicogryllus ) vicinus , Gorochov, 1986: 3 Holotype information. Type locality: Afghanistan , Herat , Bala Murghab. Deposited at the Moravské zemské Museum , Brno , Czech (not examined). Remarks: When proposed this species, Chopard (1968: 276) indicated that it is difficult to distinguish it from E . bordigalensis (= burdigalensis ) unless using male’s genitalia to identify them. When established the subgenus Eumodicogryllus , Gorochov (1986) arranged this species in the taxon, but it is not included in the elevated genus Eumodicogryllus now (Cigliano, et al. , 2021). According to features of its epiphallus (referring to Chopard, 1968: 275 , Fig. 1 ), this species should be placed in Eumodicogryllus as done by Gorochov (1986) because it does not possess the characters of Tartarogryllus .
