Comments

Lopus decolor is a European species that has not been recorded from any countries in Asia, except for Turkey and Georgia. The record from Georgia was considered doubtful by Kerzhner & Josifov (1999). It was recorded from Artvin by Önder (1976), and Mersin and Nevşehir by Lodos et al. (2003). A re-examination of relevant specimens revealed that only the specimens from Artvin belong to this species. Other records must be referred to a different species (see below).
