| Summary: | .Two new taxa of the genus Nalassus Mulsant, 1854 of the subgenus Caucasonotus Nabozhenko, 2000 are described from Georgia: N. kartvelius sp. n. from Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti Region (Oni District) and N. colchicus madlenae subsp. n. from Imereti Region (Tkibuli District). First species is very close to N. svaneticus Nabozhenko et Dzhambazishvili, 2001 but differs from it by fine setation of all abdominal ventrites, not dorsally pubescent head and not rimmed 5th abdominal ventrite on apex. N. colchicus madlenae subsp. n. differs from the nominative subspecies by distinct moderately coarse punctation of elytra, more coarse and dense punctation of pronotum, very thickened border of pronotum, brush of 3–4 setae on first trochanter. |
