Semnan ( Jakovlev 1877 ). General distribution. Endemic. Comments. Jakovlev (1877) recorded Pachybrachius luridus Hahn, 1826 from Iran (no locality cited). According to Aukema & Rieger (2011), this name is a synonym of Rhyparochromus ( Xantochilus ) persicellus (Kirkaldy 1909) . On the one hand, P. l u r i d u s is known in western Europe to the Alps and Carpathes mountains, and on the other hand in the Far East ( Korea , Japan , Far Eastern Russia , and Pacific coast of China ), but unknown in Central Asia ( Péricart 1998c ; Aukema & Rieger 2001 ). Also it was quoted in Canada by Péricart (1998c) , but perhaps not a well established settlement.
