Remarks.

Originally, this species was described as Scolipolanes caucasius, and its taxonomic status was never questioned ( Bonato et al. 2012). For a long time, this species was known only from a single locality in the western Caucasus, but recently larger material was collected from this region ( Zuev 2016). This is the first record of this species for Georgia.
