Comments

A rarely collected species that lives on banks of water. Its biology is unknown ( Péricart 1998a). It has a wide distribution range spanning from North Africa and the Afrotropical region to the Arabian Peninsula and extends to India, China, and Japan in the east ( Aukema 2023). It was recorded from Egypt, Tunisia, and Israel in the Mediterraean basin ( Péricart 1998a; Kment & Batelka 2005; Linnavuori et al. 2014). A close relative of this species, Blissus putoni Jakovlev, 1875 has a Central Asian-Mediterranean distribution extending from Greece to SW China ( Aukema 2023). This species was recorded from Selçuk, İzmir in Turkey, lives in an ecological niche similar to that of B. hirtulus . It is distinguished from the latter by the rounded apex of scutellum, hemelytra not reaching to the apex of abdomen and clavi of hemelytra not touching each other ( Péricart 1998a).
