In the field,  D. r. nairensiswas identified using identification guides according to Darevsky ( Darevsky 1967), (Fig. 8). During the field survey, we captured and identified 13 individuals, including ten adult females and three males. The range of  D. r. nairensiscovers central, south-western Armenia, the western shore of Lake Sevan and is restricted to the north-eastern part of Armenia. This species also inhabits neighbouring regions of north-eastern Turkey and southern Georgia. In Armenia, there are several isolated populations in the north Provinces (Tumanyan and Lori) and in the south-central part (Karmrashen and Vayots Dzor Provinces). During the field survey, six SZs were identified in the three Provinces of Gegharkunik, Kotayk and Shirak. This species has a relatively large number of SZs - four with a "daughter" species  D. unisexualisand, with other parthenogenetic species,  D. armeniacaand  D. dahli, there are two and one SZs, respectively. Our data show that  D. r. nairensishas only one SZ with a bisexual species  D. valentini. The SZs are mainly located in the rocky habitats of the mountain steppe. 2018-08-07 Captured by noose IEERASBIOINF, REPAMPHRU Osipov F. A.
