Global distribution.
Endemic to Georgia.
Remarks.
Martens (2006) put the local form Nemastoma superbum bacuriana , described as a subspecies of the widely distributed P. superbum by Mkheidze (1959) with synonymy of the latter. New collections around the type locality, Bakuriani, revealed marked differences from P. superbum in body size, the form of male chelicerae, length of legs and pedipalp, and in addition, the dorsal silvery makings of the body (Martens unpublished data). Thus, the taxon Nemastoma bacuriana is resurrected here along with its newly affiliated species rank (stat. nov.).
Altitudinal records are sparse, up to now found at 750 - 1200 m a.s.l. (CJM).
