Eleven morphometric and four qualitative features of larvae, as well as 6 morphometric parameters of pupae of Odagmia caucasica, which had been collected in 5 geographically remote regions of Armenia, have been studied. In this work besides absolute values of features we have used their ratios (indices) that shows forms and proportions of different organs. It was found, that larvae taken from Bzhni and Getashen had asymmetry of bilateral characteristics and that there were differences in the level of morphometric features variability; the latter fact is connected with sex and phase of the insect. Study of chronological variability of populations from Bzhni, Getashen and Martuni has revealed differences in the nature of distribution of features. It was shown that the rate of differentiation between geographically isolated populations fluctuated in the range from 20 (Getashen) to 33% (Amassiya). Differences in the qualitative alternative features and in the rate of microsporidium infection distinguish the differentiation of populations from Bzhni and Amassiya, which is caused by anthropogenic factor in Bzhni and by isolating landscape barrier in Amassiya. Species-specific morphometric features were discovered; these were the indices of proportions of larva ventral sclerite and of pupa respiratory filaments.
对采自亚美尼亚5个地理偏远地区的高加索奥达米亚幼虫的11个形态测量特征和4个定性特征以及蛹的6个形态测量参数进行了研究。在这项工作中，除了特征的绝对值外，我们还使用了它们的比率（指数），这些比率显示了不同器官的形态和比例。结果发现，采自布日尼和格塔申的幼虫具有双侧特征不对称性，并且形态测量特征的变异水平存在差异；后一事实与昆虫的性别和阶段有关。对布日尼、格塔申和马尔图尼种群的时间变异性研究揭示了特征分布性质的差异。结果表明，地理隔离种群之间的分化率在20%（格塔申）至33%（阿马西亚）之间波动。定性替代特征和微孢子虫感染率的差异区分了布日尼和阿马西亚种群的分化，这是由布日尼的人为因素和阿马西亚的隔离景观屏障造成的。发现了物种特异性形态测量特征；这些是幼虫腹侧骨片和蛹呼吸丝比例的指数。
