New species of the Lithobiid genus Hessebius Verhoeff, 1941 (Lithobiomorpha, Lithobiidae) from Eastern Kazakhstan

Abstract

Two new species, Hessebius golovatchi Farzalieva, sp. n. and Hessebius zalesskajae Farzalieva, sp. n., are described based on material from the Dzungarian Alatau Mountains, Eastern Kazakhstan. The female of H. golovatchi sp. n. differs from all the previously known species of the genus in the presence of 3 + 3 spurs on the gonopod, while H. zalesskajae sp. n. is similar to H. perelae Zalesskaja, 1978 but differs in some structural details of the male and female gonopods.
