Remarks: H. gibbus is widespread throughout the country. Eight more provinces are added here. STRAKA & BOGUSCH (2011) describe H. gibbus as a thermophilic Mediterranean species that occurs mainly in bushy, grassy, steppe or ruderal biotopes. In the present study, specimens were collected in various biotopes, but mostly in open landscapes, from 5 m to 2200 m altitude. Flowers visited: Centaurea solstitialis , Eryngium sp. , Medicago sativa , Melilotus officinalis , Mentha longifolia , Sinapis arvensis . The flight season extends from the beginning of May to mid-October with a peak in July. It is frequently recorded in Turkey (21 provinces).

Distribution: Palaearctic. In Turkey: Adana, Aydın, Bilecik, Bursa, Denizli, Hatay, İstanbul, Konya, Kütahya, Muğla, Mersin, Nevşehir, Şanlıurfa ( WARNCKE 1972); Antalya, Ardahan, Artvin, Erzincan, Erzurum, Isparta, Kars, Osmaniye.
