Abstract.
Mendidius abdurakhmanovi Shokhin,
sp. n. is described from the Absheron Peninsula of
Azerbaijan. The new species is most similar to Mendidius
multiplex (Reitter, 1897) and especially M. baigakumi
(Koshantschikov, 1911), but differs from M. multiplex by
the clypeus with two teeth on the anterior margin; from
Ciscaspian M. baigakumi and endemic of the Aras River
valley M. diffidens (Reitter, 1892) the new species is well
distinguished by the completely darkened sutural interval
of elytra. Mendidius abdurakhmanovi Shokhin, sp. n. was
collected in May on sands of Ganly-Gol Lake (Baku сity)
and sand beach with Tamarix on the coast of the Caspian
Sea. The species is named in the memory of well-known
specialist of Coleoptera of the Caucasus, Prof. Gayirbeg M.
Abdurakhmanov.
