New species Glaphyrus sabatinellii is described from Turkey, with taxonomic insights into G. calvaster endemic to Armenia.
Glaphyrus (Glaphyrus) sabatinellii Ghrejyan, Kalashian & Nikodým, sp. nov. from Hakkari Province, Turkey, is described, illustrated, and compared with related species. Glaphyrus (G.) calvaster Zaitzev, 1923, an endemic species of Armenia, has long remained understudied and enigmatic, known only from a few specimens. Based on a re-examination of type specimens and additional material from various collections, both sexes of G. calvaster are redescribed, with newly revealed diagnostic characters provided. Additionally, a lectotype is designated for G. calvaster according to the Article 74 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
