Abstract

<br> In this paper, we provide evidence of the presence of<br> Calamoceras illiesi<br> Malicky &amp; Kumanski 1974 in the South Caucasus for the first time. In addition, the occurrence of<br> Mystacides azureus<br> Linnaeus, 1761 is confirmed in Georgia, with the initial photograph observation in social media supported by the collection of specimens from several locations in the country. Detailed collection data, photos of preserved specimens, and habitat of<br> C. illiesi<br> in Georgia are provided along with a map of known records for both species.<br>
