Comment: Ischnosoma major was originally described from the type locality “Helenendorf” [= Göygöl] in Azerbaijan and subsequently reported also from Teberda in the Northwest Caucasus ( KOCIAN 1997). SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015), however, list this species only from Georgia.

A revision of the type material and an additional male from Kazbeg in the collections of NHMW revealed that, from what can be seen of the male sexual characters, they are conspecific with the males from Mtskheta-Mtianeti listed above. However, the revised distribution ( Map 2 View Map 2 ) suggests that both the type localiy and the record from Teberda are doubtful.
