DISTRIBUTION. This subspecies was described from Pass Kharami in the vicinities of Lake Kazenoy-Am, we collected it 5 km south-westwards from the type locality, this material seems to be identical in its characters to the individuals described by Rapuzzi. “ C. planipennis abdurakhmanovi ” was also recorded from Kazenoy-Am vicinities and Andiyskiy Mt. Range spatially near to above listed in the material section locality, so correctness of its subspecific affiliation given hereafter is beyond any question too.

In general C. nothus daghestanicola is distributed eastwards of Sharoargun valley, at mountain masses of Skalistyi, Snegovoy, and Andiyskiy Mt. Ranges ( Fig. 1 View Fig ), in the south it is substituted by different subspecies C. nothus planipennis Chaudoir, 1846 , and in the west — by C. nothus sharoiensis ssp. n., described below.

REMARKS.This subspecies inhabits alpine zone at 2300– 2800 m and gravitates towards the stony hillside wastes.
