M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: GEORGIA: 2♂♂, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Trialeti Range, N Bakuriani, E Tsaghveri, 41°47'25''N, 43°32'27''E, 1150 m, stream valley with mixed forest, litter near stream sifted, 8.VII.2019, leg. Schülke (MNB).
C o m m e n t: The original description is based on type material from "Helenendorf", a highly doubtful and most likely erroneous record based on mislabelled specimens; for a detailed argmentation see ASSING & SCHÜLKE (2017). Consequently, the true distribution was unknown. The above males represent the first record since the original description and the first record with a specified and confirmed locality. It suggests that the distribution of this species many be confined to the Trialeti Range in Southwest Georgia. However, additional records are required to confirm this.
