Material examined

SYRIA: 1 ♁, 1 ♀, 10 km SSW of Masyaf, 2–3 Jun. 2009, F. Houška leg. ( JBCB).

Distribution

Widely distributed in Europe, Turkey, Caucasus and Near East ( Regalin & Medvedev 2010b). Confirmed occurrence in Syria.

Comments

Although Smaragdina xanthaspis is listed from Syria in some publications (e.g., Lopatin et al. 2003; Regalin & Medvedev 2010b), I do not know any concrete published specimens. The above mentioned specimens confirm the occurrence in Syria.
