Comments.
This species was recorded in Iran (from two localities in the provinces of East Azarbayjan and Fars) by
Roewer (1955)
based on two female specimens. Considering
Roewer's
well-known taxonomic mistakes, and that the Iranian record is considerably far from its known range (Crete is the easternmost known locality), it is probable that this species was misidentified (
Mozaffarian and Marusik 2001
). Unfortunately, the specimens were not located at SMF and are probably lost (Julia Altmann pers. comm.).
