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.
