Chorology.

Stenus hospes is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Region from France and Italy across the Balkans as far east as Anatolia, the Levant, and Caucasia. The recent records from the Zagros Mountains (Fig. 12 View Figures 7–12 ) constitute the first for the Iranian fauna and considerably extend the known distribution to the southeast.

Biogeographical characterization.

Judging from its distribution pattern, Stenus hospes can be regarded as a Pontomediterranean species.
