Abstract

Insgesamt 373 Individuen der Gattung Othius Stephens, 1829 wurden während dreier Forschungsreisen nach West-Georgien im Juni, Juli/August und Oktober 2021 gesammelt. Eine der insgesamt acht Arten wird beschrieben und abgebildet: Othius egrisicus spec. nov. (Georgia: Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti) aus der O. crassus-Gruppe. Ein Name wird synonymisiert: Othius hebes Assing & Solodovnikov, 1998 = O. fastigatus Assing & Solodovnikov, 1998, syn. nov. Zwei Arten werden erstmals seit ihrer Originalbeschreibung nachgewiesen. Die bislang unklaren Verbreitungsgebiete einiger endemischer Arten in Nordwest-Georgien werden geklärt und anhand von Karten illustriert. Die Othius-Fauna Georgiens umfasst derzeit 16 beschriebene Arten, elf davon endemisch. Die Gattung insgesamt enthält gegenwärtig 136 Arten und Unterarten.
