NOTES
. Specimens from Commander Archipelago are identified by us as
Ochthebius yoshitomii
, which belong
Ochthebius vandykei
species group (Jäch & Delgado, 2014), but probably the populations from Commander Islands belong to a new undescribed species. All specimens of
O. yoshitomii
were collected in littoral zone in the cracks of the rocks (
Figs 8–
10) together with endemic to Commander Archipelago
Aegialites beringensis
Zerche, 2004
(Salpingidae) (Sazhnev, 2015).
