Chorology.

Stenus heinzianus was described from Damash in Gilan, Iran ( Puthz 1970a: 223), and subsequently recorded from Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. In Iran, it is abundant in the entire Hyrcanian zone from northern Gilan as far east as Golestan (Fig. 16 ).

Biogeographical characterization.

Judging from this distribution pattern, Stenus heinzianus is an expansive Caspian faunal element.
