Note. Though this species is common and widely distributed (
Babenko
et al.
1994
,
Thibaud
et al.
2004
) it is now recorded from
Iran
for the first time. Studied populations generally fits the description of
H. purpurescens
, but it exhibits ecomorphic characters described by Cassagnau (1955) (
Figs 8-10
) and this makes exact identification difficult.
