Coenagrion lunulatum ( Charpentier, 1840 ) Reported (as Agrion vernale Hag. ) from: Krasnodarskiy Kray, Sochi Municipality, “Achischgho Mt, lake No 6” (one of the Khmelevskie Lakes, for explanation see Kosterin (2023)) ( Bartenef 1930: 71 ; Skvortsov 2010 ) Distribution and habitat. Two males were collected by A.N. Bartenef (1930) on 23.07.1928 at ‘lake No. 6’ of the Khmelevskie Lakes situated at 1,875 m a.s.l. in the subalpine zone of West Caucasus (for explanations of the lakes see Kosterin 2023 ). That place was visited by OEK on 10.07.2008 ( Kosterin 2023 ) but this species, as well as any its congener, was not found. No other data for this boreal species exist from the Russian part of the Caucasus, although several records exist from the eastern Turkey , Georgia , Armenia , Azerbaijan and NW Iran ( Boudot et al. 2021 ).
