B. turkes- tanicus'

by Skorikov (1931: his fig. 16, in contrast to his fig.

18 for '

B. makarjini'

). I infer that in this case the males were incorrectly associated with the name-bearing female types and I am associating here the darker females and the darker males (with dark hind tibial fringes and a narrow penis valve) with the name B. makarjini, and the lighter females and the lighter males (with very light hind tibial fringes and a broad penis valve) with the name B. turkestanicus. Unfortunately none of the

19 specimens of B. makarjini from this collection yielded sequences for cox1 barcodes. However, the few barcode results below supporting the re-association of male and female specimens of B. turkestanicus support indirectly the interpretation pre- sented here for B. makarjini from colour-pattern evi- dence. Further data will be required to test this more definitively. Material examined (19 specimens, 950-2060m). CHINA (Xinjiang): 2♂♂, Sayram lake, Ili, 2030-2060m, 25.08.2002 (O Tadauchi);

11 specimens of B. turkestanicus from this collection yielded sequences for cox1 barcodes: one worker and two males (see the database at boldsystems.org). Genetic similarity shows that the two males are more different from one another (0.77% divergence, calculated using tools at boldsystems.org) than either is from the worker (0.15%, 0.61%), which is interpreted provisionally as sup- porting the inference that the worker and males are indeed conspecific as B. turkestanicus. This supports the asso- ciation of the sexes proposed here on the basis of a shared pale colour pattern (see the comments on B. makarjini). Data from more specimens will be required to test this more definitively. Material examined (11 specimens, 950-2060m). CHINA (Xinjiang): 1♂, Sayram lake, Ili, 2030-2060m, 25.08.2002 (O Tadauchi);
