The detailed comparison is given under O. radiata sp. n. Distribution. The material studied was collected in two different areas: Turkmenistan, Kara-Kum desert and Uzbekistan, Bukhara district. Thus, it seems to be a widely distributed eremic species. Odontelia radiata sp. n. (Figs 2^1, 21-22, 25, 38) Type material. Holotype, male, "Asia centr., Iii-Gebiet, Rückbeil 1897" "5/1898, v. R.
