Note.

Similarly to the previous species, C. persica was known exclusively from the Elburz Mts. in Golestan Province ( Smolis et al. 2012). The outlined records, from provinces West Azerbaijan, Mazandaran, Semnan and North Khorasan, shows that this form seems to be quite common and widespread in north-western Iran.
