Lənkəran region: 1: 5♂ 2♀ larvae (LMEE); 3 : 1♂ larva (LMEE); 7: 4♂ 2♀ larvae (LMEE); 9: 1♀ larva (LMEE); 11: 1♂ 1♀ larvae (LMEE); 15: 4♂ 3♀ larvae (LMEE); 17: 1♂ larva (LMEE); Şəki-Zaqatala region: 23: 1♀ larva (LMEE); 31: 1♀ larva (HNHM); 32: 4♀ larvae (HNHM); Gəncə-Qazax region: 37: 1♂ larva (MM); 38: 3♀ larvae (HNHM); 44: 1♀ larva (SNM).

Remarks. As mentioned above, this widespread species was the first to be published from Azerbaijan ( Klapálek 1923). Though the latest review of the genus suggests that species identification can be possible only on the basis of eggs ( Sivec & Stark 2002), our larvae agrees well with its recent description from the Greater Caucasus ( Zhiltzova & Cherchesova 2003), and compared with our Georgian specimens that are containing matured eggs. Our Azerbaijan specimens were caught in both large and small forest streams of different elevations.
