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).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387DC45128C30719DF9B0FB3DCA71	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 19th 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 &amp; Stark 2002). Klapálek’s Azerbaijan specimen was a male collected in Gəncə (Gəncə-Qazax region, original labels: Elisabethop; Kolenati; caucasica / det.

The species has a wide Eurosiberian distribution, with three described subspecies (Murányi &amp; 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.</p> <p>The subspecific identity of the Azerbaijan population is problematic. We expect L. fusca latior Berthélemy &amp; 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.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387DC45198C3B719DFD9BFCC6C8A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

As mentioned above, this widespread species was the first to be published from Azerbaijan (Klapálek 1923). Though the latest review of the genus suggests that species identification can be possible only on the basis of eggs (Sivec &amp; Stark 2002), our larvae agrees well with its recent description from the Greater Caucasus (Zhiltzova &amp; Cherchesova 2003), and compared with our Georgian specimens that are containing matured eggs. Our Azerbaijan specimens were caught in both large and small forest streams of different elevations.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387DC451E8C23719DF8A8FBEBCCCA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &amp; 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, 1964b). 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.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387DC45018C22719DF8E0FD3DCFB3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is considered widespread in the Caucasian region, the whole of Anatolia, Cyprus and the Alborz of Iran (Sivec &amp; Stark 2002, Darilmaz et al. 2016). This is contrary to Teslenko &amp; Zhiltzova (2009) and Cherchesova &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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. These are the first exact locality data from Azerbaijan.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039387DC45018C23719DFD04FBA1C93E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
