Remarks.

This recently described species is known to occur in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkey ( Nentwig et al. 2023; WSC 2023). It is the first record of P. azarkinae in Georgia. The males of this species are readily distinguished from those co-occurring in the Caucasus P. festivus by a short conical embolus (cylindrical and bent in P. festivus ) and a smaller retrolateral tibial apophysis.
