Nebria (Alpaeus) araschimca Reitt. Nebria araschiniea Reitter, 1892: 66 [type locality: "Ilandagh (am Vorgebirge des Araschin) und Ahdagh, ufern von Ordubad"] Nebria (Alpaeus) araschiniea , Banninger, 1925: 271 Nebria ( Alpaeus) araschiniea , Csiki, 1927: 375 Nebria (Alpaeus) araschiniea, Kirshenblat, 1932: 92 Nebria gotschi ssp, araschiniea , Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1976: 101 Type is absent in the collection of HNHM, but difference from N. alpicola Mötsch. (= tur­cica Chaud.) is quite clear from the original description of REITTER. KIRSHENBLAT erroneously determined this species as N. alpicola Mötsch. IABLOKOFF-KHNZORIAN mentioned it as sub­species of N. gotschi Chaud. The structure of genital organs (figs 59, 67-70) and the first antennái segment (fig. 54) hardly differ from those of N. turcica Chaud. The main difference is in the form of pronotum (fig. 44). Material. Caucasus, d. Olty, Abusar dagh, 8500 ft., leg. E. KOENIG, 4 ex. (ZIL); "Eri­vanskaya guberniya", 1 ex. (ZIL); Caucasus, Kulpy, leg. MALJUSHENKO, 1 ex.

(HNHM); Anatolia or., Balik-göl bei Taslicay (Agri), 2000-2500 m, 26.VI. 1975, leg. W. HEINZ, 2 ex. (ISU); "Asia minor", 1 ex. (ZIL); Kleinasien, Prov. Erzurum, Palandöken Dagh, 2600-2800 m, 6-7.VIII. 1978, leg. DE FREINA, 5 ex. (K, ISU); the same loca­lity, 2800-2950 m, 28-30.VII. 1980, leg. DE FREINA, 3 ex. (K, ISU). Nebria (Alpaeus) perlidaghensis sp.n. Body and appendages piceous, antennae from segment 4, palpi, tibiae apically and tarsi somewhat paler. Head with moderately prominent eyes, frontal furrows very shallow, front with small sparse punctures. First antennái segment - fig. 53. Pronotum (fig. 45) 1.31-1.41 times as wide as head, 1.49-1.57 times as wide as long, strongly constricted towards base, moderately sinuated before acute, rounded at apex, basal angles, apical angles rather strongly prominent, rounded at apex. Lateral sides narrow reflexed, basal foveae fairly deep, oblique, somewhat extending on the disk of pronotum, basal and apical areas with small sparse punctures. Elytra elongate ovate, somewhat flattened, 1.35-1.43 times as wide as pronotum, 1.58­1.66 times as long as wide, with rounded shoulders, basal border weakly curved, forming with lateral one obtuse angle. Striae shallow but distinct, with trace of punctures, intervals hardly convex, interval 3 with 1-2 small setiferous pores apically, scutellar pores present; apical carina strongly reduced. Aedeagus - Figs 72, 74, paramerae - Figs 77, 79. Length - 12.4-13.0 mm. Width - 4.6-5.0 mm. Holotype, cf: Perli-Dagh, Russ. Armen., Kasikoporan, 1901, leg. KORB (ZIL); Paratypes: 1 o, the same label (MB); 3 g, "Perli-Dagh, 10000 ft." (ZIL, HNHM). The new species differs from N. araschiniea Reitt. in its smaller size, narrower pronotum, antenna! segment 1 (fig. 53) thinner and more strongly narrowed to base. From N. gotschi Chaud, greatly differs in the form of pronotum, which is sinuated at sides, and with more prominent apical and especially basal angles. Nebria (Alpaeus) sevanensis sp.n. Nebria gotschi , Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1976: 100, fig. 12, tab. 3, fig. 8 Dark piceous, apex of antennae, palpi and tarsi dark brown. Head with rather strongly prominent eyes, frontal furrows shallow, front sparse and fine punctate. Antennae extending to middle of elytra, their segment 1 narrow, evidently widened towards apex (fig. 51). Pronotum (fig. 50) slightly convex, 1.26-1.39 times as wide as head, 1.42-1.61 times as wide as long, at sides weakly rounded, before sharply somewhat extending backwards hind angles moderately sinuated, apical angles fairly prominent, rounded at apex. Lateral reflection narrow, basal foveae short and shallow, basal area with very fine and sparse punctures.
