Remarks: H. pictus was previously known from Adana and Hatay only. Now we can add seven provinces to the records. STRAKA & BOGUSCH (2011) consider the species as thermophilic Mediterranean. Our results confirm this opinion, as the majority of the specimens come from coastal areas and lowlands, mostly of the Mediterranean. The flight season lasts from the beginning of April to the end of August, with a peak in July. It is collected moderately in Turkey (9 provinces).

Distribution: Southern Europe, Cyprus, Iran, Turkey, North Africa. In Turkey: Adana, Hatay ( STRAKA & BOGUSCH 2011); Antalya, Bursa, İstanbul, Mersin, Sivas, Şanlıurfa, Yalova.
