Comments

Sibero-European species that extends deep into the Transcaucasian region and is known from Armenia, Georgia and norhtern Iran ( Ghahari & Chérot 2014; Aukema 2023). It was recorded from Artvin by Önder (1976), but the record was overlooked by Kerzhner & Josifov (1999). A re-examination of corresponding specimens confirmed this record ( Fig. 3C ).
