Distribution and habitat. Southern, Western and Eastern Europe, North parts of Western Asia, Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia ( Mozaffarian & Wilson 2011). The distribution of the species in Iran ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 24–39 ) appears to be in the continuation of its distribution from western European countries to, north and northeast of Iran. Dlabola (1981) recognized this species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element which can be found in forest steppes and steppes with Alhagi , Artemisia , Populus alba and Salim. The examined specimens has also been attracted to a light trap and found on alfalfa and sunflower fields, vinyards and near water with Typha , Mentha sp. and Salix . The examined specimens were collected from 410 m to 2650 m elevation which is a noticeable range. The wide distribution range of the species together with the noticeable morphological variation of the species might suggest hight ability of adapting to various environmental conditions including different elevations. However, the possibility of the existence of cryptic species may be another explanation.
