GEORGIA • 5 ♂, 8 ♀ ( IEC); Kintrishi NP ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 ); N41.7482°, E42.0940°; 1637 m a.s.l.; 13 Jul. 2018; leg. GBOL team; Malaise trap near the end of the wood; CaBOL-IDs 1035635, 1035637, 1035640, 1035651, 1035660, and 1035689 GoogleMaps .

Barcoding: Four barcodes were obtained from the specimens with CaBOL-IDs 1035637, 1035640, 1035651, and 1035660 ( BOLD: AGP4261, maximum p -distance 0.4%). There were no barcodes for A. caucasicus in BOLD Systems, as we submitted the first ones.

Remarks: In neighboring territories, A. caucasicus was reported from Kabardino-Balkaria ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 ) ( Martens & Wijnhoven 2022). Previously considered endemic to the Northwest Caucasus, its status is now reevaluated as endemic to the Caucasus region.
