Chahar Mahall va Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh va Buyer Ahmad, Tehran ( KERZHNER 1968 , 1981 , 1987 ( paratypes )). General distribution. Near East and Central Asia; from Caucasus, Turkey , and Cyprus to Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan . Specimens from Turkey and the Near East are intermediate between the nominotypical subspecies P. g. guttula (Fabricius, 1787) and P. g. asiaticum (see KERZHNER 1996 ). Prostemma g. guttula occurs in Europe and north-western Africa ( KERZHNER 1996 ). Comment. Prostemma g. guttula feeds on pentatomoid species, which are at least twice as large as the predator (KOTT 1995). It would be interesting to see if P. g. asiaticum shows the same behaviour.
