3. Panurginus arsenievi sp. n. Diagnosis. Visually, Panurginus arsenievi sp. n. can be grouped with the species with smooth interspaces on the metasomal terga; S6 and S7 apical structures are close to those of P. n i g e r and P. romani as well. At the same time, the new species has enlarged apically gonostylus and parallel-sided penis valve (apically enlarged at the group members). S7, S8 and genitalia are relatively small, unsclerotized (excluding the penis valves). S8 is tremendously reduced to a small, narrow fragment lacking any noticeable morphological structures that has no analogies among the other studied species. The male of P. arsenievi is easily identifiable by its highly specific clypeus with apicolateral angles pooled twice as long as wide in the same plane with disc. Etymology. Vladimir Klavdiyevich Arseniev (Russian∶ Владимир Клавдиевич Арсеньев﹔I872 — I93 O) was a Russian explorer of the Far East, ethnographer, teacher and writer. Arseniev is most famous for authoring many books about his explorations, including some 60 works on the geography, wildlife and ethnography of the regions he traveled. Arseniev's most famous book, Dersu Uzala (With Dersu the Hunter or Dersu the Trapper) , is the author's memoirs of three expeditions in the Ussurian taiga, or forest, of Northern Asia along the Sea of Japan and North to Vladivostok. He was the first to describe numerous species of Siberian flora and lifestyle of native people. Geographical distribution. Russia: Primorskiy Kray. Type material.
