GEORGIA - Kakheti • 1♂ ; Dedoplistskaro mun., Vashlovani NP , Mijniskure ; N41.1127° , E46.6460° ; 101 m a.s.l. ; semidesert, light trap ; leg. Kaitila J.-P. & Junnilainen J. ; 22. May 2023 ; CaBOL-ID 1035791 . Remarks. Described from the Near East this species is distributed from Italy to Iran ( Nentwig et al. 2023 ; WSC 2023). In the Caucasus, it is known from Azerbaijan and N Caucasus ( Otto 2023 ). It is the first record of P. medius in Georgia. Pulchellodromus medius is closest to the co-occurring in the Caucasus P. ruficapillus (Simon, 1885), from which the males of P. medius can be distinguished by the long and triangular conductor (compact and truncate in P. ruficapillus ) and different shape of the tibial apophysis.
