Material examined. Ardabil province: Meshkinshahr , 38° 23’N 47° 40’E, v.1977, leg. Kh.B, 1 specimen ( HMIM) GoogleMaps ; Fars province: 10 Km S. Dehbid , 2000m, 15.vi.2000, leg. Badii / Sarafrazi / Linnavuori, 1 specimen ( HMIM) ; Kerman province: 21-23.III.1928, leg. V. Kusnezov, 1 specimen ( ZIN) ; Khuzestan province: Minu Island , 30° 20’ N, 48° 13’E, 29.iv.1976, leg. Pazuki / Abaii, 1 specimen ( HMIM) GoogleMaps .

Distribution and habitat. The species was recorded from Transcaucasus, Iran, Afghnistan and Central Asia ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011). According to the publication and the above examined material, the species is distributed from northwest to south and southeast of Iran ( Figure 24 View FIGURES 24–39 ) indicating the probable southern borders of the distribution of the species with the lowest latitude. In addition, according to the collecting data with a rather high recorded elevation for the species ( 2400 m by Dlabola (1984) and 2000 m in the current study) it is expected that the species should be found in the mountains of north and east of Iran as well. The only record in northwest of Iran ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 24–39 ) may be connected with the southern records through Zagros mountain in the west of the country, but probably not through the central parts, which contain two big deserts (Dasht-e Lut and Dastht-e Kavir) with low altitude.
