Nakhichevan : Paşalı, Armania: Zangezur, Kotaik, Megry, Gegard, Arax Valley, Azerbaijan : Arax Valley, N.W. Iran : Azerbaijan , Ardebil provinces and Georgia ( Fig. 842 ). Remarks. Ramme (1951) described Paranocarodes aserbeidshanicus after two females. I had the opportunity to compare it with the rich material of P. margaritae in the ZIN. P. aserbeidshanicus Ramme has a slightly smaller body and yellow hind tibia, but some specimens of P. margaritae collected from Arax Valley have a similar body size and yellow tibia or basal half of the tibia yellow, turning to reddish apically in some. Moreover both taxa are found in the same valley Arax, Nakhichevan . After the comparison with the type specimens I have concluded that both taxa are synonyms. On the label of P. aserbeidshanicus there is the word “ara”. Ramme (1951) correctly recorded it as “Aza (Arastal)” in Nakhichevan .
