Distribution and habitat. Eastern Europe, Jordan, Afghanistan and Central Asia ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011). Recorded distribution in Iran along with the label data of the examined material shows the distribution of the species in Northeast, west and south of Iran ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 24–39 ) which can be considered as the continuation of its distributional area. Dlabola (1981) mentioned this species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element. The species is found in steppe woods with Juniperus ( Dlabola 1981, Holzinger et al. 2003) and has been found in the elevation of 1000 m to 2225 m.
