Stenus melanopus Marsham, 1802

Records.

Razavi Khorasan: Mashad, 3.2006 ( Samin et al. 2011c: 1238). South Khorasan: Birjand, 6.2001 ( Samin et al. 2011a: 3).

Remarks.

The Holarctic Stenus melanopus is widely distributed throughout the western Palaearctic eastwards to China. The cited records from Northeast Iran are dubious as well as an old record from "Perse méridionale” ( Fauvel 1873: 256), because, except for Turkey, the species is unknown from the Middle East and Central Asia.
