Material examined.

GEORGIA • 1 specimen; Gori; 41.9848, 44.1389; 696 m a. s. l.; 24. October 2021; leg. N. Bulbulashvili; under rocks in heathland; CaBOL-ID 1018766. • 1 specimen; Telovani; 41.8112, 44.6911; 995 m a. s. l.; 15. August 2021; leg. A. Seropian; under a rock at the edge of the forest, deciduous forest; CaBOL-ID 1012590. • 1 specimen; Gori; 41.9701, 44.0921; 803 m a. s. l.; 18. September 2021; leg. A. Seropian; under rocks in steppe; CaBOL-ID 1016910.

Barcoding.

Two barcodes were obtained from the specimens with CaBOL-IDs 1012590 and 1016910 (BOLD: AGA 5866: maximum within-barcode p-distance 0.17 %), with the nearest neighbor in BOLD Systems being A. flavipes from Austria with a private status (mean p - distance 7.03 %). Such large differences between sequences may be due to misidentification of the Austrian specimen or the species identification via COI subunit is not possible.

Remarks.

From the neighboring countries, A. flavipes has been previously reported from Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Russia (South European Territory) (Hoberlandt 1955; Fent and Aktaç 2007; Ghahari et al. 2010; Dursun and Fent 2015). The species’ general distribution is in Europe, the eastern Mediterranean, and Iran (Kerzhner 1996).
