Populations of Cordulegaster kalkmani Schneider et al., 2021 were found in the Kars and Bitlis provinces of East Turkey (i.e., western Armenian Highlands), in July 2022. This species was found at elevations from 1 800 to 2 200 m a.s.l. in six localities. One female, 15 males and one exuvia were collected for closer examination. The special feature of the inferior appendage, which is broader than long so that the distal pointed lobes can be seen from above, was confirmed for all males. Variation in abdominal colour markings, some bio-metrical data and habitat features are reported. Cordulegaster kalkmani seems to be restricted to a geographic region limited by the Anatolian Diagonal in the west, the Pontic Mountains in the north, the Lesser Caucasus in the east, and is roughly confined to the western Armenian Highlands in the centre and the eastern Taurus in the south. This region is characterised by cold winters with significant snow cover.
