Remarks.

The above represents the first record of this species since its original description, suggesting a broader distribution within the western parts of the Greater Caucasus. Nevertheless, considering the high collecting activity that has taken place over the years in this particular area of the Caucasus, C. litoreus seems to be a rare species. The species is new to the fauna of Georgia.
