Paradelphacodes gvosdevi (Mitjaev, 1980)
Chloriona gvosdevi Mitjaev, 1980: 36
Paradelphacodes gvosdevi Mitjaev, 2002: 104
= Paradelphacodes insolitus Dmitriev, 2000: 281 syn.n.
Dmitriev (2002) described Paradelphacodes insolitus from Southern Russia, not far from the type locality of the Chloriona gvosdevi Mitjaev in Northern Kazakhstan. In 2002, Mitjaev compared his material to the illustrations of Dmitriev (2000) and transferred Chloriona gvosdevi Mitjaev to the genus Paradelphacodes without formally synonymizing both species. In this paper the synonymy of the two species is confirmed.
