Journal: Zoosystematica Rossica
Year: 2021

Turquimachilis taurica sp. nov. from the Grand Canyon of Crimea is described and illustrated. It is compared with the only known species of the genus, T. mendesi Bach de Roca et al., 2013 from the Ilgaz Mountains (Kastamonu Province, northern Turkey). The new species can be distinguished from the congener by the structure of the compound eyes, maxillary palp, urocoxites, and the number of divisions of the gonapophyses.
