Chorology.
Stenus ochropus is the most widespread member of the ochropus - ludyi - coarcticollis species group. The West Palaearctic species is distributed from Europe, except for the Iberian Peninsula, as far east as Central Asia including Anatolia, the Levant, Caucasia, and Iran, where it is recorded from the northwest as far east as Tehran and southwards to 29°09'N in Fars (Fig. 20 View Figures 19–24 ).
Biogeographical characterization.
Judging from its wide distribution in the northeastern Mediterranean, we follow Puthz (2012a: 313), who classified Stenus ochropus as an expansive Pontomediterranean species.
