Distribution. Albania, Bosnia Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland; Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia; Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen (UHMANN et al., in prep.). Remarks. Endomia unifasciata unifasciata varies conspicuously in its colouration and some morphological characters. The dark marking of elytra, usually forming a rather narrow transverse band in the posterior half, may be both reduced to a small spot on the suture or extended and covering most of elytral surface. The specimens from S-SE Iran and SW Pakistan (Baluchestan province) are remarkable not only by the strong tendency toward melanization, but differ also by the posteriorly rather narrowed head, larger eyes, and subapically somewhat less narrowed tegmen of aedeagus (dorsal view).
