Figs 40–45.
DISTRIBUTION. Southern parts of Western Europe and European Russia eastwards to the South Urals.
RECORDS. Many localities in the southern part of European Russia from Crimea to Orenburg Oblast [for details see Tishechkin, 1999, 2015b].
REMARKS. Investigation of male calling signals showed that all records of H. nanus from northern and central regions of European Russia refer to H. achilleae [ Tishechkin, 1999, 2015b]. Despite this fact, afterwards, only H. nanus was mentioned in the faunistic lists even from the forest zone, where its occurrence is highly doubtful [Anufriev, Smirnova, 2016].
Differs from H. achilleae and H. freyi in the black pattern on face. The most characteristic traits are well-developed black stripes along eyes even in the most light-colored specimens and the light area in the middle of the lower half of face even in the darkest ones.
