Remarks. Lathrimaeum roubali and L. laterale were originally described from “Kaukasus occid. (Krasnaja Poljana)”. Assing (2004, 2005) synonymized both species with A. unicolor. The holotype of A. laterale as in Fig. 22. Based on an unspecified number of syntypes, Roubal (1913) described L. deinekini from “Teberda”. The male from NMPC I designate here as the lectotype. During the study of specimens of A. deinekini, I didn`t find morphological differences between them and studied specimens of A. unicolor from different regions. Thus, A. deinekini was synonymized with the latter species. Anthobium unicolor is widely distributed in Europe (Herman 2001), including Caucasus. It is here recorded from Georgia for the first time.
