Material examined. EUROPEAN TURKEY: Edirne province: Demirhanlı Göleti [pond] (loc. 1), 2 ♂♂ 2 ♀♀, M. Fent det. ( TUET) . Kırklareli province: Babaeski—Lahana village (loc. 9), 4 ♂♂ 7 ♀♀, M. Fent det. ( TUET) .

General distribution. Species with interesting disjunctive distribution area. It occurs in north-western Europe and adjacent parts of Central Europe—in Germany, Poland ( Jansson 1983), the Netherlands ( Cuppen 1988), Denmark ( Damgaard & Mahler 1993), Sweden (Polhemus et al. 1995), Belgium ( Vercauteren 1997), Czech Republic ( Bryja & Kment 2001, Kment & Smékal 2002), northern France (Elder & Chéreau 2003), and Great Britain (Nau & Brooke 2006). The second area of distribution is in south-eastern Europe, widely copying the Black Sea coast in Greece, Macedonia, Turkish Thrace, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, and South European Territory of Russia (lowlands of Don, Volga, and Kuban river, Republic of Adygea) ( Jansson 1983, 1986a, 1995; Kanyukova 2006; Prokin et al. 2008).

Comment. Sibling species of Sigara falleni ( Fieber, 1848) , distinguished only by the shape of the male pala ( Jansson 1983, 1986; Bryja & Kment 2001). In north-western Europe both S. falleni and S. iactans lives sympatrically and even syntopically, possibly hybridizing (e.g., Bryja & Kment 2001), whereas S. iactans mostly replaces S. falleni in south-eastern Europe.

Identification. Jansson (1983, 1986a), Kanyukova (2006).
