Antipova & A. Babenko leg; 6 females, and 43 juveniles, ~300 ind. in ethanol Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Dombai, 43.301551°N, 41.555444°E, ~ 2000 m alt., willow-birch forests, mushrooms, 15–25.07.2024, M. Antipova leg.
Remarks. The species possesses a noticeable feature, a spherical integumentary outgrowth on Abd. V, which relates it to C. stercoraria (Stach, 1963) from Central Asia. It is no coincidence that specimens from the vicinity of Sukhumi (Abkhazia) were initially identified by Martynova (1964) as C. stercoraria (Stach, 1963). Subsequently, based on this same material, it was described as C. caucasica (Martynova, 1971). According to Babenko et al. (1994), mixed populations of these two species were recorded from the Caucasus.
DNA material. GenBank under accession numbers PX505038, PX505039.
