Polskie Forum Entomologiczne

Greetings to all colleagues in Poland and a Happy New Year 2017.
I have described two new species of the genus (Vadonia) -Vadonia persica(Vartanis 2017) from Iran and Vadonia klichai(Vartanis 2017) from Greece.

The separator is a small mistake in the species V.persica where (elytra: dark black-is an error in translation) is correct (elytra: dark brown).Thank you for your understanding, greetings to all.
Janis

Congratulations!

What does asteriks mean in the description of V.persica:

Body size: m*m* 14-15 mm, f*f* 15-16 mm.
...
HOLOTYPUS: m*-Irán-Zagros

What altitude above the sea level does this location of type have?

Descriptions are difficult to understand because many terms used in article are madeup by yourself, they are nowhere to be seen.
