Notes. Sympatric with N. glauca glauca , but several specimens were also collected along with N. meridionalis ( Berchi et al. 2012) . Aspects of the hemelytral coloration pattern and the paramere are illustrated in Figs. 7, 8 and 12 .

Distribution. Southern and central Europe, northern Africa, from Turkey to Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India ( Gheit 1995; Polhemus 1995; Protiċ 1998, 2011; Gogala 2003; Fent et al. 2011; Protiċ & Živiċ 2012). For Romanian distribution see Fig. 14 .
