Karawajew (1929b) gave collection number 3024 to the sample from “Dvoretz”, but the collection number of the corresponding material in his collection is 4024. Since number 3024 in the collection is assigned to samples of Messor aralocaspius Ruzsky, 1902 from Uzbekistan, we believe that number 3024 in Karawajew (1929b) is a misprint and the correct number is 4024.
