Comments

This species was recorded from Isparta, Turkey by Önder (1976) and, based on this record, reported from Turkey by Kerzhner & Josifov (1999). This species is strictly Sibero-European without any records from Southwestern Asia, Caucasus, Turanian region, Central Asia, or northern Africa (Aukema 2023) so its record from the Mediterranean region of Turkey could seem questionable. However, examination of the relevant specimens proved that they belong to D. rufipennis, confirming its presence in Turkey.
