Distribution in Iran . East Azarbaijan (Nikdel et al . 2011 as Hesperocorixa scabricula (Walley, 1936)) . General distribution. North America ( Canada : Ontario, Manitoba; USA : Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan) (Hungerford 1948). Comments. Because the general distribution of H. escheri is limited to North America , its presence in Iran is doubtful. Also, A. Matocq as the co-author of the paper Nikdel et al . (2011) did not determine this species (A. Matocq personal communication to P. Moulet). This species is not cited by Jansson (1995).
