Remarks: H. iranicus has a narrow distribution area, it is only known from Iran and Turkey, and in Turkey previously only from Hakkâri and Kars. The present study adds another eight Turkish provinces to the distribution records. Konya is the most western region of the species. H. iranicus is quite abundant in the province of Erzurum. As a mountain species it occurs at altitudes of 1000–2500 m, and the samples were collected, probably related to this, mainly in July. Although H. iranicus is a recently described species, it has been identified from almost all geographical regions of the country except the Aegean and Marmara regions. It is collected moderately in Turkey (10 provinces).

Distribution: Iran; Turkey: Hakkâri, Kars ( WARNCKE 1992), Erzurum, Gümüşhane, Kahramanmaraş, Konya, Mersin, Nevşehir, Sivas, Van.
