Distribution in
Turkey
.
The only one report of this species from
Anatolia
(Ardeşen) was by
Zwick (1971)
under the name
C. spinulifera
. This record was based on larvae and was subsequently considered dubious (
Zwick 1975
). However,
Zwick (2004)
repeated the figure taken from his 1971 paper in his West Palaearctic key, though mentioning that conspecifity was not confirmed. The generic identity was confirmed by comparison with other East Palaearctic and Nearctic species. Additionally,
Teslenko & Zhiltzova (2009)
presented a new illustration of the larva (most probably from Caucasus) under the name
P. spinulifera
that seems to be a slightly different from Zwick's (1971) illustration.
Teslenko & Zhiltzova (2009)
did not cite the new Turkish record, but merely included
Turkey
in the distribution of the species, probably referring to
Zwick (1971)
. Map (

Distribution and ecology.
Caucasus, eastern Pontus. The unique mention from
Anatolia
is from a clear river between Ardeşen and Çamlıhemşin. The single larva was collected on the
21.05.1970
(
Zwick 1971
).
