Two
interesting records of scope of the entire
Caucasian
fauna [
Evsyukov et al., 2018
].
The
species has hitherto been recorded only from the
northwestern Caucasus
within the Stavropol Province,
Karachaevo-Cherkessia
(both
Russia
),
Abkhazia
and
Svanetia
(
Georgia
).
Above
is thus the first report of
J. lindholmi
from central
Georgia
, apparently the species’ southeasternmost range limit as well
.
