Material examined.

GEORGIA - Kvemo Karlti • 1♂; Bolnisi mun., Tandzia Vill.; N41.4523°, E44.360511°; 915 m a.s.l.; meadow, under rocks; leg. Bulbulashvili N.; 16 Jun. 2023; CaBOL-ID 1035764 .

Remarks.

This species has an eastern Anatolian-Caucasian distribution range in the Caucasus, known from Azerbaijan and the North Caucasus (WSC 2023; Otto 2023). It is the first report of T. lyncea from Georgia. From the region congeners, it is closest to T. pseudolyncea (Guseinov, Marusik & Koponen, 2005), from which the males of T. lyncea are distinguished by a shorter embolus, thicker tegular apophysis, shorter prolateral arm of the conductor, and shape of the tibial apophysis.
