This subspecies was described from Pass Kharami in the vicinities of Lake Kazenoy-Am, we collected it 5 kmsouth-westwards from the typelocality, this material seems to be identical in its characters to the individuals described by Rapuzzi. “  C. planipennis abdurakhmanovi” was also recorded from Kazenoy-Am vicinities and Andiyskiy Mt. Range spatially near to above listed in the material section locality, so correctness of its subspecific affiliation given hereafter is beyond any question too. In general  C. nothus daghestanicolais distributed eastwards of Sharoargun valley, at mountain masses of Skalistyi, Snegovoy, and Andiyskiy Mt. Ranges ( Fig. 1), in the south it is substituted by different subspecies  C. nothus planipennisChaudoir, 1846, and in the west — by  C. nothus sharoiensis ssp. n., described below.  REMARKS.This subspecies inhabits alpine zone at 2300– 2800 mand gravitates towards the stony hillside wastes.
