Distribution.

Russia ( Folkmanová 1958; Korobushkin et al. 2016).

Remarks.

This species is only known from the Caucasus. For a long time, only two localities were known from Russia until the study by Korobushkin et al. (2016) included new records from Krasnodar. We have added several new localities to the distribution of H. spinipes . This is the first record of this species for Georgia.
