Abstract

Thorictus gibbosus sp. n. can be distinguished from T. foveicollis Rtt. by a very strongly convex basal part of the pronotum, the presence of two deep depressions near its basal margin, and in the shape of the humeral prominences and thoracic trichomes. T. medvedevi sp. n. differs from the two above species in the shape of the body, the presence of fine carinae near the pronotal depressions, the shape of the thoracic trichomes. T. medvedevi additionally differs from T. gibbosus in the shape of the humeral prominences and the less strongly convex basal part of the pronotum.
