Material examined.

GEORGIA - Samtskhe-Javakheti • 1♀; Borjomi mun., Tabatskuri L.; N41.66°, E43.613°; 2040 m a.s.l.; leg. Krammer H.-J. & Karalashvili E.; 23 Jul. 2019; ZFMK-TIS 8008390 (BOLD:ABZ4051) . Mtskheta-Mtianeti • 1♀; Kazbegi mun., Stepantsminda ; N42.667°, E44.614°; 2100 m a.s.l.; leg. Klug T.; 7 Jul. 2019; ZFMK-TIS 8008619 (BOLD:ABZ4051) .

Bacroding. Two barcodes were obtained from the specimens ZFMK-TISs 8008317 and 8008619 (BOLD:ABZ4051, p -distance 0.91%) with the nearest neighbors in BOLD Systems Z. latreillei from Finland, Austria, and Germany (BOLD:ABZ4051, p -distance 0.76% and 0.77%, respectively). The second-best match is Z. latreillei from Slovenia (BOLD:ABZ4051, p -distance 0.77% and 0.78%, respectively).

Remarks.

This species is distributed from the Iberian Peninsula east to Yenisei and north to the Scandinavian Peninsula (Marusik et al. 2001; Nentwig et al. 2023; WSC 2023). In the Caucasus, it is known from the North Caucasus and Azerbaijan ( Otto 2023). It is the first record of Z. latreillei from Georgia.
