Abstract

The world fauna of the genus Azelia is considered. Two new species, A. spinosa sp. nov. (from Serbia, southern European Russia and Kyrgyzstan) and A. unguigera sp. nov. (from N Vietnam) are described. Two new synonymies are proposed: Azelia cilipes Haliday, 1838 = Azelia aequa Stein,1920, syn. nov. and Azelia triquetra Wiedemann, 1817 = Azelia nuditibia Emden, 1965, syn. nov. Revised key for identification of Azelia species is offered. Dustributions of the species of Azelia are specified.
