Remarks: Eleven provinces are to be added to the distribution area of H. scutellatus . The species occurs at altitudes between sea level (Antalya, Edirne, İzmir) and 2000 m altitude (Erzurum). In general, it is a common species in both warmer and cooler regions, but more abundant in warmer regions. With the exception of the Black Sea region, it is reported from all geographical regions of Turkey. The flight period extends from May to the mid October. This long period indicates that it may have more than one generation. Flower visits are recorded at Daucus carota , Eryngium sp. , Euphorbia altissima , Melilotus officinalis and Mentha longifolia . It is frequently observed in Turkey (19 provinces).
