Rognes (1991 a: 230) reported P. viatica (as pallida) from Armenia. Rognes (1991 b: 494) corrected this, pointing out that the record was based on a misidentified female of P. mediterranea Grunin from “ 8 km ‘ S Bigenak perevala’ [Bichenakskiy Pass] ” in Nakhchivan, thus in Azerbaijan (see Rognes 1991 b: 476).
