Comments

Closterotomus costae is a Caucasian species whose distribution is restricted to the Caucasian region (Aukema 2023). It has been recorded from the Black Sea, Mediterranean, Central Anatolian, Southeastern Anatolian, and Marmara regions of Turkey by several authors (Önder 1976; Lodos et al. 2003; Yazıcı & Yıldırım 2016b). However, considering its local distribution in Caucasus and Transcaucasia, records of this species other than the Black Sea region should refer to C. putoni, a closely related species that distributes in the East Mediterranean region (Aukema 2023).
