Remarks: H. paulus is recorded from all geographical regions of the country except Central Anatolia. It apparently has a sporadic distribution. The collection sites show that the samples were mostly collected in open areas at altitudes between 20 and 2000 m and are mainly concentrated in coastal areas. The flight period is quite long, from May to the end of August; possibly more than one generation a year. It is collected moderately in Turkey (12 provinces, Fig. 16.5 ).

Distribution: Euro-Siberian species found from Central Europe via the Asian part of Russia to Mongolia, China and Japan ( DATHE & PROSHCHALYKIN 2018). New for the Turkish fauna, Antalya, Balıkesir, Bursa, Denizli, Erzurum, Hakkâri, Hatay, İzmir, Mersin, Muğla, Trabzon, Yalova
