( Fig. 26 )

Quartinia funebris Kostylev, 1935: 103 , ♀ ♂ (type locality: “ Imam-Baba (Transkaspien)” [ Turkmenistan]).

Type material. LECTOTYPE ( Fateryga & Buyanjargal 2022: 13): ♀, labeled “[golden disc] // Имам-баба [Imam-Baba] / 15–24. V.934 / А. и А. Шестаковы [A. and A. Shestakovs] // Quartinia / funebris n. sp / G. Kostylev det. 1933 // Lectotypus ♀ / Quartinia funebris / Kostylev, 1935 / des. Fateryga, 2021 [red label] // Zoological Institute / St. Petersburg / INS_HYM_0000331 [pale yellow label]” [ ZISP]. PARALECTOTYPES: TURKMENISTAN: Imam-Baba, 15–24. V.1932, 2 ♀, leg. A. Shestakov [ ZMMU]; ibid., 15–24. V.1932, 1 ♀, 1 ♂, leg. A. Shestakov, A. Shestakova [ ZISP]; ibid., 15–24. V.1934, 9 ♀, 2 ♂, leg. A. Shestakov, A. Shestakova [ ZISP].

Current status. Valid ( Carpenter 2001; Fateryga & Buyanjargal 2022).

Remarks. Kostylev (1935) reported 15 females and a male collected in Imam-Baba on 15–24.V.1932 by A. Shestakov as the “ type ”. However, there are 13 females and three males, i.e., he misidentified two males as females. Besides this, just two specimens in ZMMU are labeled as collected by A. Shestakov, while the remaining specimens are labeled as collected by A. and A. Shestakovs (A. Shestakov and A. Shestakova). Moreover, 12 specimens are labeled as collected not in 1932 but in 1934. Probably, there was a single series of 16 specimens collected by both Shestakovs in 1932, not in 1934 (because they have Kostylev’s identification labels from 1933), but 14 specimens were incorrectly labeled (12 with an incorrect year and two with incomplete data on the collectors).
