DISTRIBUTION. — This species is known only from the Alborz Mountains in Northern Iran. There are records from the foothills of Alborz Mountains near Fasham , the Southern foothills and ridges (2590 m a.s.l.) of the Mount Demavend , Doab on the crest of the central Alborz Mountains, and on the Northern slopes of the Alborz Mountains in Mazandaran Province at Abass-Abad (36°44’N, 51°08’E) ( Norris et al. 2008; Kryštufek & Voharlik 2009) GoogleMaps .
HABITAT. — It is likely to occur in mountain forests ( Norris et al. 2008). Kilpatrick (2017) identifies habitats as rocky hillsides, along rock walls of gardens, and on vegetated rocky outcropings along crested hills and along the flanks of higher mountains.

REMARK
Description postdates Lay (1967). The limits of its distribution remain unresolved and this species almost certainly occurs more widely than current records suggest, though it is likely to be endemic to the Alborz Mountains ( Karami et al. 2008).
