Oligonychus (Oligonychus) kobachidzei (Reck, 1947). Reck (1947a): 472.
Notes: Oligonychus kobachidzei (Reck) was described from male and female specimens from type host Platanus occidentalis and type locality Georgia; however, the description lacked the key characters necessary for species confirmation (Reck 1947). Moreover, Reck (1947) did not specifically compare it with any other closely related Oligonychus species. Although Bagdasarian (1957) re-described the species from other hosts (Juglans regia and Ulmus sp.) and locality (Armenia), the description still lacked details of the important morphological characters of both sexes. Further, it seems to us, based on the published literature that Bagdasarian (1957) did not observe the types of O. kobachidzei, as it necessary for confirming the taxonomic identity of Armenian specimens, when original description of O. kobachidzei was poor. Also, the illustration of aedeagus (Bagdasarian 1957) was not clear and did not appear to be in a completely lateral position. The identity of O. kobachidzei and its redescription is doubtful until the male and female are comprehensively described from the type host and locality. (Mushtaq et al. 2021)
