Recorded distribution in Iran : Southern slope of Alborz Mountain ( Tehran ) ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2016 ). Conclusion: The confirmed distribution of the species is limited to the New World; thus previous Iranian records of this species may be based on misidentifications ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2016 ).
