Euro-Siberian species, reaching to Caucasus, Central Asia, and Afghanistan ( KERZHNER 1996 ). Comment. The record of Nabis ferus from Keredj (= Karaj) near Tehran by LINDBERG (1938) was considered doubtful by KERZHNER (1987) and subsequent revision ( KERZHNER 1988 ) revealed its identity as N. punctatus . Also the records from Hamedan (MIRAB- BALOU et al. 2007a,b, 2008; RASOULIAN et al. 2007 ), for which N. ferus is the only species mentioned, cannot be accepted without revision. GHARAAT et al. (2009) listed two localities from West Azerbaijan , claiming erroneously that the specimens were identified or revised by R. Linnavuori. Currently, there is no verified record of N. ferus from Iran ; see also LINNAVUORI & HOSSEINI (2000) .
