Chorology.

The Middle Eastern Stenus arabicus is recorded from Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Iran as far north as Armenia. The record from China in Smetana (2004: 552), which was repeated by Schülke and Smetana (2015: 805), is a lapsus (V. Puthz, pers. comm.). We collected the species in two widely separate localities in the Zagros Mountains (Fig. 21 View Figures 19–24 ).

Biogeographical characterization.

Due to its arched distribution in arboreal regions around northern Mesopotamia, Stenus arabicus can be considered as a Syrian faunal element.
