Distribution: Th e distribution of this species appears fragmented, but this is probably due to the paucity of records; in fact, adults are uncommon outside of host nests and are active for a short period. In Europe, the species is recorded from the Iberian Peninsula through central Europe to southern Russia and Turkey, in Italy and Croatia, and is also cited from Morocco (Pardo Alcaide 1958). The Iranian record needs confirmation.
