039387DC45128C30719DF9B0FB3DCA71.taxon	description	The subspecies was described on the basis of specimens from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia (Zwick 1984). Azerbaijani specimens include the holotype and 18 paratypes, collection data are enumerated as ’ Azerbeidshan, Kjurakčai, 15.3.1970, leg. A. Kownacki’. This locality probably refers on Kürǝkçay River, a tributary of the Kura River in Göygöl district (Gəncə-Qazax region). The species is known from the whole West Palaearctic, while the subspecies is restricted to the Caucasus and North Anatolia (Darilmaz et al. 2016).	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

In the monograph of the Euholognatha of the former Soviet Union, Zhiltzova (2003) reported its distribution as ’ Georgia and, probably, Azerbaijan’. However, no exact Azerbaijan location was provided.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45158C37719DF938FB3DCAFA.taxon	description	It was reported from the Şəki-Zaqatala region (Katexçay River), under the name A. compacta (McLachlan, 1872) (Kasymov 1972). This is the only mention of the species from the Caucasian region, unreported by the relevant monographs (Cherchesova & Zhiltzova 2013, Teslenko & Zhiltzova 2009). Given its wide distribution in mountainous regions of the Holarctic, the presence of A. dichroa in the Caucasus is possible. However, the Azerbaijan specimen (s) has not been found, so its occurrence must be confirmed by new specimens.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45158C37719DFF44FE07CCED.taxon	description	Some of the syntypes of its junior synonym, Caucasoperla spinulifera Zhiltzova, 1967 were collected in Azerbaijan: one female in Kəlbəcər-Laçın (Zabux), and one female in Yuxarı-Qarabağ region (Həsənqaya). Esera caucasica Navás, 1931, a nomen dubium, may also be a synonym of this species (Zhiltzova 1967), since it was collected at one of the original localities of C. spinulifera (Georgia, Borjomi). Its single specimen, the female holotype, should be in the Museum of Natural History Paris (MNHP) but seems to be lost (Aubert 1952, 1956). Paragnetina transoxanica was described from Kazakhstan, known from all the Caucasian countries, as well from Eastern Anatolia (Darilmaz et al. 2016).	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

It is not included in the recent monograph of the Caucasus (Cherchesova & Zhiltzova 2013), and noted only from the Carpathians in the monograph of the former Soviet Union (Teslenko & Zhiltzova 2009). Being an European species, occurrence in the Caucasian region is improbable (Sivec & Stark 2002), and must be omitted from the checklist of Azerbaijan.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45158C37719DFBECFB24CB4A.taxon	description	The species was described without exact locality, mentioned only as ’ Caucasus’ (Guérin-Méneville 1843). Walker (1851) found its types in the Natural History Museum, London (NHM), though they were lacking from the latest catalog (Kimmins 1970) and, presumably lost during the 19 th century. Klapálek (1923) redescribed the species on the basis of specimens from Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Though some question the conspecificity of these specimens, they have become de facto neotypes on which the present concept of the species is based (e. g., Sivec & Stark 2002). Klapálek’s Azerbaijan specimen was a male collected in Gəncə (Gəncə-Qazax region, original labels: Elisabethop; Kolenati; caucasica / det. Kempny; pallida / Klapálek) and still exists in the Natural History Museum of Wien (NHMW). One of us (DM) studied and compared Klapálek’s specimens with our recent specimens from Georgia. Besides the NHMW specimen from the 19 th century, Kasymov (1972) reported the species from several sites in Gəncə-Qazax (Dəstəfur), Kəlbəcər-Laçın (Kəlbəcər, Tərtərçay River), Lənkəran (Sahgadzhi), Şəki-Zaqatala (Katexçay River) and Yuxarı-Qarabağ regions (Şuşa, Xankəndi). Sivec & Stark (2002) considered P. pallida to be a species complex that is distributed in the Caucasus, Anatolia, the Balkans and the Carpathians.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45148C36719DFED0FADCCF5A.taxon	description	Kasymov (1972) reported a species under this name from localities in Gəncə-Qazax (Gəncəçay) and Yuxarı-Qarabağ regions (Şuşa). It is not clear what species was meant under this name. The work of Scopoli (1763) contains Phryganea grammatica, but Scopoli clearly references Poda (1761) in regards to this species, as the original description. The name Phryganea grammatica Poda, 1761 was stabilized with neotype designation as a member of the genus Isoperla Banks, 1906 (Rupprecht 1984). Kasymov (1972) included Isoperla grammatica (Poda, 1761) in his paper among Isoperlidae (sic!), while Chloroperla grammatica Scopoli is listed among Chloroperlidae. Since the specimens are lost, the identity of this species remains dubious and must be omitted from the checklist.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45198C3B719DFD9BFCC6C8A6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species has a wide Eurosiberian distribution, with three described subspecies (Murányi & Hwang 2017). It is an autumnal potamal species over most of its range, however, Caucasian populations were noted by their uncommonly wide range of habitats occupied, from rivers to high mountain brooks (Zhiltzova 2003). Winter occurrence in Adjaria, Georgia, was recently recorded (Teslenko et al. 2019). Indeed, Azerbaijani specimens were found in extremely different habitats during our sampling both in the Lesser Caucasus and the Talysh Mts (Figs. 7 – 10). It is the most common autumnal stonefly in Azerbaijan, it occurs both as the single stonefly species of the given waterflow, or with a diverse community. These are the first exact data from Azerbaijan. The subspecific identity of the Azerbaijan population is problematic. We expect L. fusca latior Berthélemy & Dia, 1982 since this subspecies inhabits the whole of Anatolia, the Levant and Iran (Darilmaz et al. 2016, Murányi 2005, Vinçon et al. 2013). However, females of L. fusca latior are distinguished by the widely separated posterior lobes of the subgenital plate, while all the Azerbaijani females we have examined have narrowly separated lobes and possess a small, triangular median lobule slightly reminiscent of L. kurui Kazanci, 1983. Coloration of the subgenital plate varies by age but the general shape of the subgenital plate and the spermathecal ring are constant among all of our female specimens (Figs. 5 – 6). The male paraproct and specillum more or less agree with the description of L. fusca latior (Figs. 3 – 4) but Azerbaijani specimens exhibit a highly reduced or entirely lacking posteromedial sclerite on tergum VIII and the posteromedial sclerite is entire or only slightly subdivided on tergum IX (Fig. 2). The anterior lobes of tergum X are moderately large, the ventral vesicle small, the epiproct is wider than long with a short, weakly separated rod. Both male and female specimens vary in size and coloration, but we found no correlation of these features with the slight variability of the genitalia.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

039387DC45018C22719DF8E0FD3DCFB3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. These Azerbaijan specimens probably belong to Isoperla caucasica. This species, together with I. pulchra, were considered as synonyms of I. bithynica by Zwick (1971). However, the identity of I. bithynica is questionable, since only female paratypes exist in the NHMW. The paratypes were recently studied by DM who found it unlikely they are conspecific with any of the known Caucasian species, being rather big and pale insects. The types of I. caucasica and I. pulchra are also lost (Zwick 1971). Their original description, and the numerous specimens we recently collected in both Georgian and Azerbaijani areas of the Greater Caucasus, suggest that these taxa belong to the I. grammatica species complex sensu Berthélemy (1979). But the variability of the specimens is rather confusing, as already noted by Balinsky (1950) in the original description of I. caucasica and I. pulchra. None of the Caucasian specimens can be conspecific with I. grammatica sensu stricto, as defined by Rupprecht (1984) on the basis of neotype designation. Further research, especially molecular studies, are needed to clarify the species status of I. caucasica, I. pulchra and I. bithynica. Thus, we enumerate our specimens herein as I. grammatica sensu lato. Isoperla grammatica (probably also in a sensu lato approach) were reported from the whole of Anatolia, northern part of the Greater Caucasus, and the Alborz of Iran (Aubert 1964, Cherchesova & Zhiltzova 2013, Darilmaz et al. 2016). Isoperla caucasica (as I. bithynica) was reported from both the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, while I. pulchra had never been reported outside of the Greater Caucasus (Zhiltzova 1961, 1964 b). Azerbaijan specimens were caught at diverse habitats of the Greater Caucasus, but mostly in medium-high elevations. These are the first exact data from Azerbaijan, after Kasymov (1996) noted occurrence of both I. grammatica and I. caucasica, as well as of I. pulchra in the country without locality.	en	Murányi, Dávid, Manko, Peter, Kovács, Tibor, Vinçon, Gilles, Žiak, Matej, Kerimova, Ilhama G., Snegovaya, Nataly Yurievna, Oboňa, Jozef (2021): Review and contribution to the stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera) fauna of Azerbaijan.

This species is considered widespread in the Caucasian region, the whole of Anatolia, Cyprus and the Alborz of Iran (Sivec & Stark 2002, Darilmaz et al. 2016). This is contrary to Teslenko & Zhiltzova (2009) and Cherchesova & Zhiltzova (2013) who considered it an endemic of the Greater Caucasus. This difference of opinion is based on the disputed synonymy of Perla abbreviata Klapálek, 1921 and P. persica Zwick, 1975. These species were synonymized under P. caucasica due to their similar eggs (Sivec & Stark 2002), however, their larvae are distinctly different. Similarly to the above species, our identification is based on larvae that agrees well with the recent description of the larva of P. caucasica from the Greater Caucasus (Zhiltzova & Cherchesova 2003). Perla caucasica is a more potamal species than P. pallida. Azerbaijan specimens occurred in low and medium-high elevations, mostly in small rivers.
