Remarks: H. tardus was described from Iran ( WARNCKE 1981). According to “Discover Life” ( ASCHER & PICKERING 2019), the species also occurs in Turkey and Azerbaijan, but we could not find out more about the exact localities. The available records show that this species is widespread in south-eastern Anatolia, near to the border with Iran. Thus it could be considered as an inhabitant of warm and dry places, but it also occurs in cool and mountainous locations (Van, 2200 m). Balıkesir is the most western recorded locality of this species. It is moderately collected in Turkey (8 provinces).

Distribution: Iran (type locality), Azerbaijan, Turkey: Adıyaman, Ağrı, Balıkesir, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Sivas, Şanlıurfa, Van.
