Note. The identity of the Armenian males has been confirmed by dissection of the terminalia. The Georgian males appear to belong to this species and to be only one species, despite the variation in the setae on the hind femur which are often quite long and dense. On Mt Koltesh ( Georgia) the adults were crawling and sheltering among the leaf bracts of Veratrum album L.
Armenian distribution. Aragatsotn, Tavush and Kotayk provinces.
Distribution. Holarctic; throughout Europe, east to China; Georgia ( Pont, 2009: 176). New for Armenia.
