GEORGIA - Kakheti • 1♂; Dedoplistskaro mun., Vashlovani NP, Mijniskure ; N41.1127°, E46.6460°; 101 m a.s.l.; semidesert, light trap; leg. Kaitila J.-P. & Junnilainen J.; 22. May 2023; CaBOL-ID 1035791 .

Remarks.

Described from the Near East this species is distributed from Italy to Iran ( Nentwig et al. 2023; WSC 2023). In the Caucasus, it is known from Azerbaijan and N Caucasus ( Otto 2023). It is the first record of P. medius in Georgia. Pulchellodromus medius is closest to the co-occurring in the Caucasus P. ruficapillus (Simon, 1885), from which the males of P. medius can be distinguished by the long and triangular conductor (compact and truncate in P. ruficapillus ) and different shape of the tibial apophysis.
