Description
Summary:9. Panurginus mikhno sp. n. Diagnosis. Panurginus mikhno sp. n. belongs to the herzi- group of species. It is close to another newly described Siberian species, P. alpotanini sp. n.: body pubescence is denser than usually at Panurginus species; labral plate almost triangular (alike at P. obruchevi, sp. n. as well); scutum and scutellum delicately shagreened; S 8 lateral flaps as long as neck. Male of P. mikhno is well recognizable by the wide middle basitarsi and specific shape of pregenital sterna. The female of P. m i k h n o differs from other regional species (except P. alpotanini) by entirely shagreened scutum; from P. alpotanini it can be separated by relatively shorter F 1, F 1 = 1.6 F 2 (P. alpotanini: F 1 = 2 F 2), and transverse F 3 (at P. alpotanini as long as wide). Etymology. The new species is named in memory of Piotr Savvich Mikhno (Russian: Петр Саввич Михно; 1867–1938) an outstanding public figure, educator and natural historian of Transbaikalia, founding-director of the Museums of Natural History in Kyakhta and Chita; he had collected abundant materials on different groups of regional plants, animals, and minerals.
