Material examined: Erzurum: Olur, Köprübaşı road side, 1000 m, 25.06.2001 , ; Yeşilbağlar Central , 1200 m, 25.06.2001, , leg. H. Özbek (on Taraxacum sp. ) ; 25.06.2001, , leg. J.G. Rozen (coll. AMNH) , Oltu, Çamlıbel , 1600 m, 26.07.2000, , , leg. H. Özbek.

Remarks: STRAKA & BOGUSCH (2011) characterized H. incongruus as a thermotolerant species that normally occurs in sandy biotopes, both in dry and wetlands. The present study also confirms their claims, our specimens were taken from wetlands, meadows and pastures in a narrow valley basin between 1000–1600 m altitude. Interestingly, in Turkey this species seems to be confined to this valley located in the north-eastern part of Erzurum Province ( Figs 16.8 View Fig , 17.9 View Fig ). It is rarely recorded (1 province).

Distribution: Throughout Europe to Eastern Siberia ( STRAKA & BOGUSCH 2011; PROSHCHALYKIN & DATHE 2012: 27). Turkey: Erzurum. New to Turkey.
