Remarks: This species was described from the Caucasus and so far unknown from Turkey.However, the collected specimens in the Black Sea range completely coincide with available specimens from adjacent southwestern Caucasus, also in the shape of the aedeagus(Figs.44,45).This distributional pattern in Pontus and Caucasus fits also under zoogeographicalaspects.
