Distribution and habitat.
This species is widespread in eastern
Anatolia
(
Fig. 9
) and was recorded by
NABOZHENKO (2001a)
for
Kars Province
(Ka÷Õzman), and by KESKIN & NABO- ZHENKO (2010) for
Van Province
(Erçek Lake and
Van
Kale Castle). The species was found in
Van Province
in April on poplar (
Populus
sp.
) and under stones. Additional material suggests that the western limit of distribution of
N. faldermanni
is Tatvan, and the southern limit in
Anatolia
is Erek Da÷.
