Does anyone have a reference to Sphyracephala babadjanidesi occurring in Armenia
There's an iNaturalist thread at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/229960704 making that claim.
Our well known and documented one is Sphyracephala europaea from a region to the west
There's a blog for that at https://micropezids.myspecies.info/node/237
The list of references is
