DISTRIBUTION. Reported for NAR for the first time. Widespread species in the Southern and Eastern Asia, found in the Eastern Georgia and the Caspian coast of Azerbaijan (Mutin & Barkalov, 1999).
REMARKS. The species is difficult to distinguish from Melanostoma mellinum (Linnaeus, 1758), which also exhibits wide variability in abdominal pattern. The main diagnostic feature of this species is the yellow maculae on tergum II, which reach the lateral margin.
