Distribution. Georgia: Tbilisi, Azerbaijan: Dash-Burun, Margushevan ( Fig. 847 ).

Remarks. All specimens considered as N. serricollis in the ZIN belong actually to this species. Therefore Stolyarov (1984: 20) synonymized Nocarodes transcaucasicus Ramme, 1951 with N. serricollis , but it is a synonym of N. sanctidavidi indeed. This species is easily distinguished from N. serricollis by the key characters.
