Remarks.
A late spring and summer species, it occurs in the Greater Caucasus (
Georgia
, North Ossetia), Lesser Caucasus (
Armenia
,
Georgia
), most of
Anatolia
, and the
Alborz
of
Iran
(
Theischinger 1976
, Zhiltzova 2003,
Darilmaz
et al.
2016
). Most of the range is inhabited by the nominal subspecies, but in the Central Taurus by

, specimens were collected in moderate numbers along forest brooks of medium high elevations. Females from the Mamirli Waterfall (site 22) have a flat subgenital plate, reminiscent of
