Remarks. Özbek (2013) initially misidentified the type specimens of Nothrholaspis scutivagus as Macrocheles lagodekhensis Bregetova and Koroleva, 1960 , as he had overlooked the platelets present on the soft integument between the epigynal and ventrianal shields. Subsequently, Özbek (2017) re- examined the type materials and described it as a new species within the genus Nothrholaspis . This species was previously recorded from the provinces of Giresun and Gümüşhane in Türkiye ( Özbek, 2017) and is now reported for the first time from Bayburt province. The newly collected specimens are morphologically similar to the type materials ( Özbek, 2017).
