Material examined.

GEORGIA - Mtskheta-Mtianeti • 2♀♀; N of Shevardeni, Mna Valley; N42.58°, E44.47°; 2012 m a.s.l.; leg. Krammer H.-J. & Karalashvili E.; 7 Jul. 2019; ZFMK-TISs 8008103, 8008104 (BOLD:AFI9404) .

Baroding. Two nearly identical barcodes were obtained from the specimens ZFMK-TIS 8008103 and 8008104 (BOLD:AFI9404, p -distance 0.15%). According to the BOLD Systems library, there are 3 barcodes of the species with a private status that failed to indicate a good match with our specimens. Either the specimens in the BOLD Systems belong to other species, or the COI gene is not a proper tool to differentiate this particular species.

Remarks.

This species is distributed from Spain north to Sweden and east to Kazakhstan and China (Nentwig et al. 2023; WSC 2023). In the Caucasus, it is recorded in Azerbaijan and Dagestan (Otto 2023). It is the first record of E. oelandica in Georgia. The females of E. oelandica are distinguished from those of the diversa-species group by a median pit 1.5 times as wide as long and the copulatory ducts forming a large lateral loop.
