Mozaffarian, 1 specimen ( HMIM) GoogleMaps ; Tehran province: Latian Dam , 1711 m, 35° 48’N 51° 40’E, 6.viii.2006, leg. Mozaffarian, 1 specimen ( HMIM) GoogleMaps .

Distribution and habitat. Eastern Europe, Turkey, Caucasus and Iran. Distribution of species in Iran is in the western part of the country ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 24–39 ). Accordingly its distribution in Iran corresponds to its eastern and southern limits. The species has been found from 1300 m ( Dlabola 1984) to 1711 m altitude (1570 m- 1711 m in the current study). Therefore it is expected that the only record in southwest of the country is connected to the northern records through other parts of Zagros mountain in the west of Iran. The species was recorded as a pest to Papaver somniferum L. ( Papaveraceae ) in Serbia ( Gradojevic 1931).
