REMARKS. This species has been nicely illustrated elsewhere [
Golovatch et al., 2016
] and it seems to be endemic to the Hyrcanian biogeographic province of the Caucasus region, ranging from the Hyrcanian part of the
Republic of Azerbaijan
, through northern
Iran
, to the western Kopet-Dagh Mountains of
Turkmenistan
[
Golovatch et al., 2016
,

]. In
Turkmenistan
, all samples are uniforrnly light yellow.
