C o m m e n t: The distribution of L. fuliginosa includes the Caucasus region from North Anatolia across Armenia and Georgia to the Greater Caucasus ( Map 8 ). A revision of a previous record of L. persica ASSING, 2009 from Krasnodarskiy Kray ( Russia ) ( ASSING 2011 ) revealed that it is based on a misidentification and refers to L. fuliginosa .
