Remarks.
This species was known only from the
Alborz
of
Iran
, where it is a widespread summer and autumnal emerging stonefly (
Aubert 1964
,
Theischinger 1976
). This peculiar species shares an isolated position within the genus
Nemoura
,
together with
N. persica
Zwick, 1980
(also endemic to the
Alborz
) and
N. monae
Joost, 1977
(known from the Greater Caucasus (Krasnodar Krai) and the Lesser Caucasus (
Georgia
) – Zhiltzova 2003). In
Azerbaijan
, we collected the species both in the northeast (Gəncə-Qazax region) and the southwest (
Naxçıvan
) of the Lesser Caucasus. It was found in single or few specimens at high elevation seeps covered by tall sedges and other herbs. New for the fauna of
Azerbaijan
, and the whole of the Caucasian region.
