Oxycera fallenii Staeger, 1844 * ( fig. 2 , a)

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Iran, East Azerbaijan, Oskulu region (central part of Arasbaran forest): 38°53ʹ12.26˝ N, 46°48ʹ14.33˝ E, 1,859 m, 20.08.2010, 1} (Khaghaninia leg.).

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Central and Eastern Europe ( Woodley, 2001), first record for Iran.

R e m a r k: This species is only recorded from the Middle East from Turkey and it seems that this species is very rare in this region that is very likely due to the dry more desert conditions considering that the species has aquatic larvae.
