Remarks. Its type locality in Iran Shah Kuh (Shaku in original label) means the top of mountain. it is presumably in Northern Iran.

Avakyan (1981) studied 73 males and 5 females from Armenia, some of which may be belonged to B. gocmeni sp. nov. as one historical male of this new species is in the ZIN.

Nataly Snegovaya sent me some photographs of this species from Azerbaijan which are the first records for this country.

This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2016–3). This species is widely distributed in Iran, Armenia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. It is still found in different locations. So it should be in “Least Concern” status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
