description: Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898 Brachyiulus pusillus, Brachyiulus lusitanus (sic!) Verhoeff, 1898: 153-154, fig. 28. Brachyiulus lusitanus: Bababekova 1996: 90; Kokhia and Golovatch 2018: 40; 2020: 204. Brachyiulus lusitanus calcivagus: Lohmander 1936: 170, 179; Samedov et al. 1972: 1245, 1246; Rakhmanov 1972: 116. Diagnosis. Differs from its only congener known from the Caucasus, <i>B. jawlowskii</i>, mainly by the opisthomere possessing a striated rather than smooth lateral process, and a strongly rather than slightly bent anterior process. Material examined <b>(ZMUM). Georgia</b>: 7 &amp;male;&amp;male;, 1 &amp;female;, AR Abkhazia, region of Sukhumi, Nizhnyaya Yashtukha, tobacco plantation, 26.V-19.VI.1981, A. Markosyan leg.; 1 &amp;male;, Tbilisi, canyon of Vere River, 18.X.1980, M. Kokhia leg.; 2 &amp;male;&amp;male;, 2 &amp;female;&amp;female;, eastern Georgia, Akhmeta District, E of Kasristskali, salty swamp, reed thickets, 7.V.1983, V. Yanushev leg. General distribution. Subcosmopolitan (Kime and Enghoff 2017, Vagalinski and Lazányi 2018). Remarks. This ubiquitous, largely anthropochoric species was first listed by Lohmander (1936) and then repeated by Kokhia and Golovatch (2018) from central Georgia, Caucasus, but without any exact locality. Rakhmanov (1972) recorded this species from near Lankaran (= Lenkoran) in Hyrcania, southeastern Azerbaijan.
