Taxonomic notes.
Kolenati (1846)
described
G. glacialis
from Kazbek ("montis Kasbek Caucasi centralis").
Erichson (1846)
synonymized this species with
Oligota subtilis
Erichson 1837
; in 1849 he synonymised
Microcera inflata
Mannerheim 1830
with
O. subtilis
too. Kraatz (1856) found
Microcera inflata
to be
Oligota
. Following the priority rule,
O. subtilis
is regarded as an junior synonym of
O. inflata
(
Mannerheim 1830
)
, and
G. glacialis
was removed in synonyms of the last one (
Schülke & Smetana 2015
).
Hochhuth (1849)
, based on his own material, provided a redescription of
G. glacialis
Kolenati 1846
and noticed that if his material does not belong to
G. glacialis
, it must to a new species. Later,
G. glacialis
Hochhuth 1849
(nec
Kolenati, 1846
) was synonymized with
G. strictula
Erichson 1839
by Reitter (Heyden & al. 1883).
Remarks.
The first record of
G. strictula
for the Caucasian Region ("Helenendorf") was published by
Eppelsheim (1878)
. Leder (1886) recorded this species from Lenkoran. Jacobson (1909) combined these records in
FIGURES 64–69.
his catalogue and recorded
G. strictula
for Elisbethopol and Talysh.
Nikitskiy & al. (2008)
recorded it for Guzeripl´ village.
