Notes: The species was originally recorded from Iranshahr in southeast of Iran (Dlabola, 1960a) and Gnezdilov (2021) recently recorded it from Bampur. Mirzayans (1995) mentioned this species from northeast of Iran (Gonbadkavus, gray dot in fig. 33). However, the last record may be an error due to the absence of this specimen in HMIM.

Our data expands the known distribution of this species to the west of Iran (Fig. 33). The species was collected from March to December on 20–700 m a. l. s. Further collecting in south of Fars province may connect the two isolated distribution records of the species in southeast and southwest of the country (Fig. 33).
