Distribution in Iran. Ilam ( Samin et al. 2011a as Codophila pusio (Kultur, 1846)) , Kerman, Markazi ( Hoberlandt 1997), Khorasan ( Mehneh et al. 2010; Nateq Golestan & Modarres Awal 2012), Tehran ( Hoberlandt 1955, 1997; Safavi 1959; Modarres Awal 1997b), West Azarbaijan (Nateq Golestan 2004; Nateq Golestan et al. 2004, 2010a, b, c, 2011; Sakenin et al. 2010 as Codophila pusio ), Iran (no locality cited) ( Hoberlandt 1961; Rider 2006; Ribes & Pagola Carte 2013).

General distribution. Afghanistan ( Hoberlandt 1984), Kazakhstan (both European and Asian part), Russia, Caucasus, Central Asia, Pakistan. Reported from Macedonia, but this seems doubtful because A. pusio is unknown elsewhere in Europe.
